About Formula Retro Racing - World Tour
A retro racer updated for the modern age, Formula Retro Racing: World Tour fuses the pick-up-and-play simplicity of 90s-style arcade racing with realistic physics, split-screen multiplayer, and 60fps performance.
Building on the success of the original retro racing hit, Formula Retro Racing: World Tour introduces new tracks and car types for an additional level of depth. You'll race through iconic global locations, compete against other drivers, and try to beat your own lap times. Do you have what it takes to master each racing line, hug every apex, and cross the checkered flag to victory?
Formula Retro Racing: World Tour has four game modes. These are:
Everything you know and love about arcade racing is here, including countdown timers, packed racing fields and epic crashes. A responsive handling engine brings modern racing sensibilities and adds an element of realism to every moment on the track.
Fans of 90s racers will feel right at home in Formula Retro Racing: World Tour thanks to low-poly visuals - updated with 4k resolution and a crisp 60fps performance speed.
Race in a number of exciting new vehicle types, including high-performance race cars and muscle cars that can drift through corners. Each of the two car classes has five variations; five different single-seater style formula cars (including touring, rally and cigar) and five muscle cars with throwback vehicles spanning from the 40s to the noughties. Each car handles uniquely, making each track feel different. It’s up to you to find the best lines and breaking points for each vehicle.
Race through iconic locations like London, Paris, and New York and zoom past recognisable landmarks from across the world.
Full Track List:
Discover the consequences of pushing your car too far with realistic crash physics that tear your vehicle apart piece by piece.
Gather your friends around the sofa and go head-to-head in four-player split-screen. See who’s got the fastest line, or simply try to crash each other out. Compete with other players online through the best lap and race time leader boards.
Put yourself in the hot seat with an intense virtual reality mode! This full driving experience is so realistic you're sure to be leaning into the corners as you race through the chicanes and hairpins in a Formula race car on your pick of World Tour’s racing circuits.

I would love this game if it weren't for two major issues: 1. The handling. For cars with drift handling, they feel way too twitchy to me, they feel a lot like drifting in first 3 Ridge Racer games, and that's not a compliment. For cars with grip handling, they understeer like a boat, making tracks like San Francisco agonizing to drive around. 2. The difficulty, or lack thereof. Even on "Extreme" difficulty, the AI opponents serve better as obstacles than proper opponents. I can consistently lap the back 3 or 4 racers before the end of a 4 lap race. The game is certainly a looker. The visuals are superb, and really give that Virtua Racing vibe I'm sure they were going for. I'm sure this looks great in VR, too (as it does support VR). It's too bad that the game doesn't really pose any sort of challenge beyond trying not to crash into other cars as you make your way into first place sometime in the second lap.4 found this helpful
It's a bit of a buggy mess. Some events are straight up unwinnable. Some design choices make little sense (why have an aggressive out-of-time counter in a lapped race?). Would need a lot more work.2 found this helpful
Fun once you get the hang of the cars and pick the right one for the right track
Lots of tracks, interesting car dynamics, clean graphical look, music that is good, but maybe feels a generation older than the graphics.
good control, excellent upbeat color pallete, very relaxing and entertaining
This one is a soft recommendation for a couple reasons: 1. it has more tracks than Formula Retro Racing but just doesn't come out like the first in enjoyment. Maybe it is a bit too much of the same after playing the first. Its good but not amazing. 2. Its in early access. Tomorrow it will be in early access. 70 years from now it will be in early access. The only thing that will take it out of early access is the moment the world ceases to exist. It has been abandoned. I picked this up in a pack of 3 racers for $13.50. That wasn't a bad deal at all. $20 is starting to get steep, but there are a good handful of tracks. You almost get $1 a track here. There are also two types of vehicles and multiple modes. So there is plenty to do. But if you think the price is too steep, I would recommend looking into Formula Retro Racing instead. There is a lot in there to do in that one as well...just not as much.
