Originally set for release on PC last December, the arcade-focused spin-off title fell foul to a delay, but is back once again with a new date set in stone: Tuesday, March 3.
The new date comes straight from the horse’s mouth, and in just under two weeks’ time, players can finally take iRacing’s little brother for a spin on PC. Console players will have to wait just a little bit longer as a full release is earmarked for sometime this summer.
What’s more is the one-size-fits-all racer will have a very appealing price of $24.99, making it the perfect entry point for those looking to dip their toes into the franchise without having to worry about a monthly commitment.
To recap, the game is developed in partnership with Original Fire Studios, a small Vancouver-based studio that’s responsible for Circuit Superstars and adapts their signature cutesy art style to boot. Despite its name and focus on “over-the-top” arcade racing, the upcoming racer takes itself more seriously than one would expect.
Its extensive career mode will see players starting at the bottom rung of the motorsports ladder and working their way upward to disciplines including the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and the IMSA GTP class.
While the game may place fun at the forefront, it doesn’t mean it will necessarily be easy as players will also have to contend with realistic fuel burn and tire wear that the franchise is known for.
There’s even a city-builder aspect to the game with players constructing their own base of operations that will contain garages, engine and chassis shops, and R&D buildings that will allow them to unlock boosts for use while getting into the nitty-gritty action on-track.
Players will take to the track on such venues as Imola, Mexico City and the Miami Circuit, however, the game will also include Bahrain International Circuit and Kyalami Circuit, two venues that will make their franchise debut.
There’s still a few days until the game finally releases, and until then those still on the fence can give the demo a spin. Though, be warned, the demo only includes the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and Tsukuba Circuit, so those still on the fence will only get a taste of what’s to come.
