Get ready to hit the gas. I've been hard at work tuning the garage, and I'm excited to reveal exactly what you’ll be driving (and destroying) when you hit the streets.At launch, you'll have access to a roster of 56 unique vehicles spread across 6 distinct classes:CompactSedanSportTruckOff-RoadMotorcycleWant to make a ride truly your own? There are 7 highly customizable vehicles where you can completely overhaul the looks, tires, paint, and performance. As for the rest of the roster, you can still tweak their performance and slap on a custom paint job to make sure you're leaving the competition in the dust in style.What about adding more cars? While I definitely have plans to expand the roster in the future, my day-one priority is making sure these starting 56 vehicles feel incredible to drive, the balancing is tight, and the in-game economy is perfectly tuned. I want every vehicle purch…

- Navigation & Control Update - 25 October 2025
Navigation ArrowA new navigation arrow has been added to help guide you through races and Death Race routes. It points you in the right direction. Crazy Taxi's patent is up. Smarter ResetsWhen you reset your car, it now faces the direction of the arrow for faster restarts. You’ll be pointed right back onto the race line.Improved Downforce ProtectionIf your car gets hit from underneath, a new downforce system keeps the car from being launched into the air. This prevents the car from going straight up during collisions.Air Control UpdateYou could already control your car in the air, but now the threshold has been lowered. You can steer while airborne at just 0.7 meters off the ground (previously higher). This makes turning while taking air easier, allowing faster times on races.Bug FixesFixed a bug that allowed driving straight through traffic lights.AI pedestrians will not disappear afte…
- No-AI Mode & Landing Fix - 20 October 2025
No-AI Mode You can now disable AI-generated music and loading images. When this mode is on, the game will use only human-made content.Landing Physics Fix Fixed an issue where turning just before getting airborne could cause the car to pull sideways when landing. Cars should now land straight and handle more predictably after jumps.Thanks for all the feedback and testing, it really helps refine the game! Landing Fix — Before (left) / After (right) Non AI Music and Loading Images may change in development.
- Player Feedback Update - 18 October 2025
This update focuses on improving car handling and collision behavior. Super Car Handling: Adjusted steering to reduce under steer, making it more responsive and balanced at high speeds. Debris Interaction: Small objects that get under the car no longer lift it up. They’re now disabled and pushed down automatically. Driving over debris is much smoother. Boost Balance: Reduced the power of NOS and Rocket Boost slightly for better control and less instability during use.Thanks to players Kariston and McFluff for their feedback and help improving the game!
- Improved Steering and Air Controls - 17 October 2025
This update focuses on improving driving control. Especially at high speeds and in the air. Based on player feedback. Steering ImprovementsSteering has been reworked to be less reactive at higher speeds, helping prevent over steer and making cornering smoother with less spin outs.Air Control AdjustmentsYou can now only control the car in the air when it’s at least 3 meters above the ground.Pitch control (tilting forward/backward) now only activates when over 7 meters high, preventing unwanted motion on large bumps or jumps.This change especially helps keyboard players, since throttle and pitch share the same input on keyboard.AI Collision UpdateIf your car gets stuck on top of an AI race car for more than one second, that AI car will now be destroyed automatically.
