The base game includes 37 tracks inspired by real-world circuits and original layouts, plus 7 car categories spanning multiple eras of motorsport—each demanding a different driving style.TRACK CREATOR & CUSTOMIZATION

You can also customize the names and looks of the entire driver grid to make every championship feel personal.DAY–NIGHT CYCLE
Time progression during races adds fresh challenges. Let the hours pass naturally—or speed them up for faster transitions—to recreate night races and endurance-style events, even under the rain.UPDATED PHYSICS MODEL
The revised handling model improves control and steering feel, and supports FWD, RWD, and AWD cars. It brings the game closer to simulation while keeping its arcade spirit.ENHANCED VISUAL EFFECTS
It’s not just lighting: upgraded particle effects, improved audio, and persistent skid marks make every race feel more intense and alive.What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
It's just fun! Love the look, gameplay and physics! And it's a steal for the price. Only wish: Option to set an individual (closer) zoom especially for SteamDeck (runs like a charm btw) to make out the cars better and enjoy the pixel art even more.
I'm always looking for games that don't need a ton of processor or graphics power that I can run on my laptop for killing some time every now and then. I have a few other top-down games like Super Woden, Ultimate 2d and Art of Rally (the latter not really falling under the "low power" games...but it is top-down). This one runs perfectly on my older Thinkpad running Fedora Linux and I found it quick to suss out the controls. I started it on the lowest AI settings, but quickly bumped it up as I learned. The AI is decent...nothing to write home about, but typical of this type of an arcade game. Very happy with the game and look forward to seeing it grow!
Pretend Cars Racing 2 is an awesome racing game. Just like the original but with everything turned up to 11. More cars, more tracks, better graphics.. And it's even getting a campaign & map builder.

I have played many racing games in this genre and believe this to be one of the best. Once I got accustomed to the car handling the game became very addictive (just one more race). The developer is very attentive on the discord server and seems intent on listening to the community to better the game. I'm looking forward to the upcoming editor and the community-made maps. I fully recommend the game as one of the best values around!!!
