About Pacer
2075: The PACER World Championship has become the new apex of anti-gravity motorsport delivering high-speed racing across the world’s most dangerous and challenging circuits. Corporations from all over the globe race against each other in a battle of technical and piloting prowess with the aim of winning the championship and achieving ultimate victory.
Skill-Based racing
With the depth of a simulation and the excitement and combat of arcade racers, PACER provides a true test of player skill, reflexes, and strategy.
Define The Rules
Choose from four speed classes with speeds from 400 km/h to over 1000 km/h, then test your mettle in a variety of game modes including Elimination, Endurance and PACER’s unique ‘Flowmentum’ and ‘Storm’. The single-player Campaign lets you develop from a trainee Pilot, advancing through 10 unique race teams from around the world unlocking rewards and challenging yourself in blisteringly fast races in an effort to become the PACER world champion.
Hit The Track
Prepare to out-race and out-battle your opponents on 14 unique and challenging tracks complete with interchangeable variants (Night, Mirrored, Reverse) giving up to 8 different ways to race any given circuit. From the flowing red canyons of Fiyah! Fury, to the neon set lights of Mannahatta and the vibrant city of Sonashahar, your reactions will be tested on every twist and turn in high definition 4K.
Choose Your Craft
Get behind the controls of 5 varied Craft each with their own unique characteristics. The Garage allows you to fully customize your look and tune parameters within the Engine, Braking, Handling, Anti-Gravity and Defence systems. We provide a sophisticated handling model that allows players to fine tune the subtleties of their craft to shave off those extra few seconds.
Select Your Arsenal
Choose your deadly weaponry and tool up your craft before hitting the track to ensure your victory. Select weapons with a variety of behaviors, tweak how they function: more ammo, more damage, faster firing rates or the ability to target multiple opponents.
Race The World
Online Multiplayer takes PACER to another level supporting up to 10 players, 7 game modes and VOIP. Play matchmade races via our dedicated servers or create custom lobbies and test your skills in an effort to reach the top spot on our worldwide leaderboards. Spectator Mode allows the player to view any multiplayer event in progress, from any gameplay or trackside cameras.
Banging Tunes
Create your own playlist from 80+ songs featuring original tracks by CoLD SToRAGE (Tim Wright) created exclusively for PACER and an extensive licensed library from named artists.

[h1]Intro[/h1] This game was a many year journey to witness, it ultimately has left 0 mark on the niche it set its sights on revolutionising, and the management behind it continually and repeatedly torpedoed their own project with marketing buzzwords and huge promises. The final product is a palatable racer that is quickly forgotten amongst its peers. [h3]Formula Fusion[/h3] I followed Pacer during its development as Formula Fusion - R8 games was founded officially by Andrew Walker (remember this name) in November 2014. A Kickstarter was created for Formula Fusion in April 2015, with the reception being overall good, and the game receiving £79k; well over its £35k goal. By the end of 2015 and into early 2016, it seems R8 hired several people, as public records show numerous of the credited developers and artists having shares in R8 given to them, amongst what seem to be a few investors. During this period R8 also appointed Marcus Matusiak as a director in February 2016. Marcus is of note, as it seems he was responsible for most of the coding on Formula Fusion - he resigned his director status shortly after in August 2016. During this period there is not much information I can gath…5 found this helpful
If you loved wipeout in ps1 era. Youre in a treat for this too 😉2 found this helpful
Fast paced ship gun racer. Fun!1 found this helpful
Great game. If you like AG racers like Wipeout, Redout, and BNG, then you will love this.1 found this helpful
This game could be better but the best races are racing against the ai not doing the main campaign, oh and i forgot to mention after you complete the AM-Yangs team races you move onto a team from India and then the game just softlocks on you. Don't get it it's pretty worthless.
did i enjoy it, yes. do i reccomend it? only if your into having a single best ship with a single best loadout(it is a preset loadout that was snuck in at a point during my groups multiplayer tournaments...). just mind the walls, its a bit frail. multiplayer is dead as of my group dissolving. lasted awhile though. after 100 hours, it just doesnt click for me like redout or bng, or even WipEout. if your coming from WipEout, its the same controls but the physics are different so youll have to adapt accordingly. the performance varies from system to system, and the ui looks like someone out of high school made it and needs work... if they are really trying to bring pacer back. last i checked it was epic store planned only. (its been a couple years i think) ...which is a bummer because epic is only good for the free games that never get played lol all jokes aside pacer, while fun for a short while, is very lacking in the long run.
