Hello!

We want to thank all who participated in the beta time-trial competitions. During this first season we gathered valuable data and feedback from players, which helped us to improve the game. We almost finished simulation physics. We have created also: office with game news, player profile, season standings page, game forum, ghosts (in race animation), weather, pages voting mechanism and some few other things, like splitting players into separate leagues.

We are happy to announce that season 2 has just started. It will takes 5 weeks. During this time we will release skills training and normal race competitions (with practice, qualification and race itself). We will also start to work on other racing series, so you will be able to advance from Junior Kart series, which is currently the only one in the game.

I hope that you will find new season very interesting

See you on the track!

Hi guys

If we won't face any unexpected problems, this desired feature will be available for you next week!
I want to share with you how it will work.
First of all there will be 3 types of trainings: Gym trainings, Driving Skills Trainings and SPA Resort.
Gym and Driving Skills trainigs will improve your attributes but they will decrease energy. If you choose SPA Resort, you will recover part (or all) of lost energy.
If you need any help let us know
Regards

This season will bring new important feature: car parts management. While we start it, your will get few parts to use throughout season 4. There will be more parts to use in top league, in lower league there will be less parts, so you need to manage them more carefuly and not wear them too quick.
You will also start to see driver's feedback somewhere in second part of the season.
We also start to prepare another racing series but we're not sure if we manage to release it before start of season 5.

Hi Guys

Today we released first version of telemetry.
Telemetry is a graphical tool showing how your car performed during drive.
First version of telemetry shows simple chart of speed changes related to distance driven. You can see two different laps shown on one chart, so you are able to see where you gain or loose speed.

To compare laps, go to "YOU" tab in practice session results table, select 1 or 2 laps and press "Telemetry" button, which is located in driver's feedback box.

There will be more telemetry functionalities later on.

Is someone challenges you - notification icon will appear in your office. Just click on it and see who has challenged you. You can accept / reject all challenge requests in "Social Pitwall" (in "VS" section - on the right side).

If you (or your opponent) accept challenge, it will appear in Challenges section of social pitwall (on the left side). Click on it and drive best possible lap to win the challenge.
