Hot Lap Racing

Kinda like Total Immersion Racing... :-)
The gameplay, vehicle handling, and chase view reminds me a lot of Razorworks' Racing game, Total Immersion Racing, I played that quite a lot too and needless to say, i'm excited for this spiritual successor!

TIR was quiet a good game in its time but was really lacking in the physics department (there was a mod available to make them more realistic, with less grip, more understeer...). It has a theorically an opponent system with a memory but it didn't work. What it did very well was the dynamicly active engineer who made changes onnyour car on the fly during.practice sessions, something.never done since then.

It also contains the best fictional tracks in a racing game (along with the Raceroom fictional tracks which are great too).

There are things to learn from this old game but nobody knows anythkng about it lol.

Cool, it just reminded me so much of it, Razorworks made some pretty cool licensed racing games back then.

I kinda see some TIR in the handling but I don't remember the TIR chase cam being as awful as this game's haha
It had some crazy good fantasy tracks though I'll definitely agree with, notably the tokyo(?) city one has that GT Seattle vibe but faster and the alpine track I forgot the name of.

I just checked a bit more Total Immersion Racing, looks like a fun game.

Also, about chase cam, we have very different feedbacks from players, so we will add an option to let people set the camera stiffness as they want (I already tested it, it works well !)

loved the car list of this game, even its small also it wasnt the most popular game ever but its memorable over the years with unique content like 2002 Bentley EXP Speed 8 never saw this version in any other racing game, same for 1999 Quaife R4 GT1 and 2001 Dome S101wasnt seen in any other game. 1999 Sintura S99 GT1 and 2002 Vemac RD320R are cool too. Some unique fantasy tracks too.

history repeats itself "Hot Lap Racing" tries the same, in its own style

Very nice, the camera really needs to be able to rotate around the car esp in the slow bits

And the tremendous Springfield track! I had forgotten the Alpine track, it is amazing indeed, but it feels a bit "arcadey" like the Tokyo track ; on the contrary Springfield feels real.

The Bentley Speed 8, one of my favourite cars, is available in Project cars and mods for F1 Challenge, GTR2, Rfactor.

Sounds really good. Good luck on future updates!
