Join us to check out 22 Racing Series and learn about RTS-Racing from one of the developers.

- Mod Racing Plans - 23 November 2019
For the last 10 years we’ve been quietly building 22 Racing Series, with the aim of not only creating the world’s first Real Time Strategy Racing game, but also the world’s first racing-optimised games engine capable of handling extreme speeds and track designs previously not feasible, AND to bring the community the most comprehensive and accessible game modding tools possible. https://i.imgur.com/QOlspVH.gif Our plan is to create a full suite of community creation tools, allowing players to get their hands directly on our tech and easily create their own tracks or even build their own racing game. https://i.imgur.com/lGfwZOa.gif Whether you’re new to game modding looking for something that’s quick and easy to use, or seasoned developer after a higher level of access and fidelity, our suite of intuitive design tools are designed to make the process of modding as smooth and enjoyable as…
- PAX Australia update - v0.37 - 15 October 2019
We've just recovered from showing the game at PAX Australia 2019. Thanks to everyone who visited us over the weekend and played the game. Congratulations to Asaema and Soterios who took out 1st and 2nd place in our competitive tournament, to take home an AMD Ryzen CPU and a SteelSeries Stratus Duo controller, respectively! The version of the game that we were showing at PAX is now available on Steam for beta testers to play. I usually try to include a bit more of a development update along with these patch notes, but we have a big announcement coming next week, so I'll save the updates until then! 2019/10/15 - v0.37 The "Q3 2018" leaderboards have been closed and renamed to "2018 - 2019" :) Added new track: "Eight outside".

- 2019 Updates - 18 June 2019
So, it's been a while since we posted a development update here! Multiple game patches have been released (without posting any dev news) during January - April 2019, but these were mostly minor fixes and tweaks. As of the May and June updates, we're getting back into the swing of things with much more meaty change logs. For May/0.34, we focused on game presentation, and explored some new UI styles. We're still experimenting and exploring UI options, but as a teaser, here's some of the "spectator mode" concept art that we commissioned from Chris @ Vyxl: https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31067886%2F3ed2823d0a841dac9359e19dcbcfe9495b777d02.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31067886%2F4f3c4753bababae4a1e6a6a023cb81f60649fa30.png https://cdn.steampulse.org/steam/asset?u=https%3A%2F%2Fsteamcdn-a.akamaihd.net%2Fsteamcommunity%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fclans%2F31067886%2Fa556ca4fe43c586f0756af%25E2%2580%25A6
- October Update - 16 October 2018
We'll be exhibing 22 at PAX Australia at the end of October, so if you're in Melbourne, Australia, come by for another chance to win some prizes! This update contains a recreation of a challenging real-world race track, for players who want to try out a strange blend of sim-racing and future-racing. The Bathurst track is still extremely work-in-progress, so expect some bugs for now... Vehicle handling and physics have been re-tuned greatly in this update, with attention being paid to new players who haven't yet mastered the vehicle. Low-speed spins are much less likely, and steering authority during extreme high-speed manouvres is much improved. As usual, all feedback is appreciated! 2018/10/16 - v0.32 New track: Bathurst / Mount Panorama (2.5x real scale). New track: Bathurst Historic (real world scale). Tutorial race mode (work in progress!). Motion blur effect. Can select vehicle abi…
- September update - 5 September 2018
The September update brings a preview of the configurable vehicle loadout system. The vehicle editor doesn't yet allow you to edit your own loadouts, but within a race you can select from a list of pre-defined loadouts. The previous vehicle loadout of 4 upgrade slots is currently named the "Hero" class, and is joined by 4 new classes designed to fill different roles within a team match. 2018/09/05 - v0.31 Loads of new vehicle abilities! Different vehicle ability loadouts. Vehicle select screen. Team select screen. Player name labels above vehicles. Vehicle editor camera controls. Re-enabled bloom effect. Optimized split-screen.
