What players say

Players are split on this indie tribute to early 2000s NASCAR arcade racers. Fans enjoy the nostalgia and quick, pick-up-and-play races. Critics say the AI is aggressive and unresponsive, with no yellow flags or pit stops, leading to frustrating wrecks. Many note the game is barebones, with few tracks and cars, and has controller issues in menus.
