Circuit Superstars

This little game was suggested to me because I play a lot of Assetto Corsa Competizione! And it looks like a LOT of fun!

The trailer reminds me of the old Micro Machines games, and even a little of that old arcade game with RC cars.

(EDIT: This one!)

Aaaaanyway, this is the Steam link:

Circuit Superstars


Circuit Superstars celebrates generations of multi-disciplinary motorsport, focusing on driving that FEELS great – but with a high skill ceiling that will have you spending hours honing your perfect lap, ready to take on the world!

Starting out is simple – as a top-down racing game should be - but learning the nuances of each car’s handling, and finding the best racing line through each corner of each track will be a challenge for a long time to come. Not only that, but with the option of fuel usage, tire degradation and racing damage, even a good pit stop strategy could make the difference between hero and zero.
As ardent fans of classic top-down racers our goal is to take that core concept, add more depth through tactile vehicle traction – and modernise the whole experience with features like online multiplayer and leaderboards, ghosts, replays, plus regular content drops such as new cars and tracks post-release.

FEATURES

FEEL the tires meet the road

Pit Stop Strategies
Featuring (optional) tire degradation, fuel consumption, and engine wear; Circuit Superstars allows you to dynamically choose your pit stop strategy during the race.

A lifetime of racing experience inspired us to build the racing world of Circuit Superstars, which began in the same childhood home we came back to after every weekend of racing. Our upbringing took place in the racetrack, from 1/8th RC tournaments around the world to karting to WTC among others. We’ve been on the pitlane, the paddock and the racetrack, living and loving the entirety of motorsport.

So interesting thing, for me anyway, I first took notice of this game when I saw Mini Motor Racing X among the VR games on Steam and was looking for more like it. It actually reminded me of a game I played a long time ago that I couldn’t remember what it was called. Eventually got reddit to help me out, and it turned out the reason I couldn’t find it anywhere was because it was never actually released.

I’ve been eyeing this game for a while. I finally decided to buy it and I must say, I’ve been having more fun than I expected. I played through the first 2 championships on Pro difficulty, then bumped it down to a lower difficulty once pitstops got added into the mix.

The handling model is what drew me in and kept me playing. It’s soooo satisfying when you get it right. Easy to learn, very hard to master. Worth it for a R130 and good for at least 5 hours before you’ve seen everything there is to see.

haha great to hear, I’ve had it on my Xbox wishlist for a while too and tempted when it goes on sale (which seems to be never). I believe it has local co-op too which will be good for me and the family.
