Title edited as it has been pointed out to me that the sale has actually ended

I picked up Descenders and Absolute Drift. Only tried the latter so far, but it’s great fun. Feels like there’s an extremely high skill ceiling to it that I am unlikely to reach. It only cost me £1 too!

I normally go for sim racers like Assetto Corsa and Automobilista, but I have a real soft spot for the old Wipeout games and the similarly-aged N-Gen. Pacer (a touch light on tracks but a perfect spiritual successor to Wipeout) and Jetborne Racing (basically a tech demo and extremely demanding with a gamepad, but worth checking out) have been fun releases in somewhat more recent years

    BeamNG.drive + Automation: The Car Company Tycoon Game

    Automation lets you dive deep into the particulars of a vehicle you create, which can then be exported to race with it in BeamNG.drive.

      Ooooh, this is a fascinating combination. I had no idea it was a possibility. I already have BeamNG too so I’m halfway there

        I can get lost for hours tweaking Automation creations to get them perfect - all for me to take them to BeamNG and accidentally wreck them.

        I made a Peugeot 206cc clone the other day. I called it the Pugo 2006cc (literally: poo go two hundred and six).

        I tried racing it and the understeer was I M M E N S E – I love it!
