Virtual SlotCars

Love the game, there's a good sense of progression, you can tune your car to your liking, controls are easy to understand, there's definitely a technique to how you drive the car. The track creator is a little confusing at first but it gets easy quickly. The only reason I'm not recommending this is because the game has been abandoned since 2019 but the dev didn't officially announce it, they just stopped posting or responding...

Abandoned by the dev's sadly

A year ago, I wouldn't have given this game a second thought, but since receiving a Carerra Digital slot car set for Christmas, slot car racing has become one of my favorite pastimes. It was mere coincidence that I even stumbled across this game on Steam, but it has rapidly become my favorite video game, full stop. Pros: This game simulates the look, the feel, and the physics of slot car racing to a very high degree of realism, allowing players to race on elaborate and lengthy tracks they would otherwise never be able to afford in the real world. The same is true for car customization, and it's all here; chassis architecture, gear ratios, motor speeds, tire materials, wear and tear. The in-game currency rewarded for participating in races allows you to purchase new parts, new tracks and scenery, and to keep your cars in working condition. And the track designer is actually superior to any track designing software that slot car racers pay an arm and a leg for. Cons: The kickstarter for this game never reached its funding goal, so this may be as far as it's ever developed (but you still have a complete game here). There is a limited amount of music in the game, and it gets very rep…

Just purchased the game during the 2025 spring sale and a quick five minute single player game on the Steam Deck worked well. Will put some time into this in the coming months

This game is good, but it feels VERY VERY unfinished, and the documentation reflects this. There's no explanation of what car upgrades are or do. The game is functional. The physics are good. It works. But it's definitely not finished. In order to earn car parts for upgrading cars and track parts for building tracks, or even racing on new tracks, requires winning races and earning coins and other currency. That's the only way to access additional content. And I doubt we can expect any improvement in any of these areas as this game looks to be VERY VERY abandoned by it's developers. The developer's site doesn't even seem to exit. Clicking the link here on Steam just takes you to a missing web page. There's a couple of facebook groups. One looks to be the official facebook group for the game and that one is completely dead. The other one looks to have custom tracks and stuff, but that one appears dead too. I tried to join it weeks ago and no one has approved my request to join. So the only conclusion I have is that the Facebook page for custom tracks is also dead. All in all... this is a VERY dead and abandoned game. It works. It's fun for the cost. But it's…

steam deck compatibility please
