Turn Left - a one-button stock car racing game in the browser

The only control is tapping the screen to turn your car left.

I built this mostly with Fable 5 over the course of a few weeks. I had to tweak a fair amount of the graphics to get them where I wanted, but 100% of the code was written by Fable 5.

The idea was to make a really simple top-down retro racing game that runs entirely in the browser. You can also save it to your phone as a PWA.

I wanted it to be immediately playable with basically no instructions, something you can open, play for a few minutes while killing time, close, and come back to later.

Would love to hear what you think.

This might be a hot take, but I think Gran Turismo 7 is better than Forza Horizon 6.

I've never been much of a fan of racing games with a history including of Gran Turismo 3, Need for Speed Most Wanted 2, Midnight Club 3, Mario Kart, and some others arcade style but GT7 has been more enjoyable to me. I know they are different types of games, but historically I've like arcade style more.

Just a surprising observation I've had about myself

(10) what's with the 10 thing?

What are the most active 2000s racing games online?

Hi fellow racers,

I see a lot of 7th gen racers have dedicated communities or servers to revive them which is awesome but are there any similar active revival projects for early 2000s games specifically from Ps2 era?

I did find a midnight club 2 discord server but it was mostly some members online.

Revive the Onrush Community

Hey everyone,

I need your help to bring this famous game back to life.

Unfortunately, the game was released exclusively on Xbox and PS4, and not on PC. Moreover, Codemaster's servers permanently shut down in 2022, making online play with friends impossible. Only the offline game is playable in solo mode against bots... And there is no local multiplayer option on consoles.

Today, I am presenting my project "Rusher" to you.

The project consists of dumping a copy of the game onto our drives and reverse engineering the game for PC to create a native version. Thanks to this exploit, we will be able to go beyond the limits of the PS4 and mod Onrush however we want.

We need the Onrush community to come back strong and show what we are capable of for our favorite racing game abandoned by Codemaster.

Let's save Onrush!

P.S.: I’ve already started the reverse engineering on my end, I have the asset extraction scripts in prototyping, and we need talented and tech-savvy people!

dm me if you want to join my discord servers
I need your help 🙏

Games with career modes?

I'm newer to racing games and not as focused on the 10 0% simulation accuracy but moreso a persistent career mode, ideally moving up from slower to faster cars with some light management stuff in between races. So far I've really enjoyed the NASCAR and F1 25 games, does anyone have some recommendations for other games to try?

Playable on PC please

Never buy Formula Legends

Never buy “Formula Legends.” The game is absolute garbage on Nintendo Switch. On top of that, the graphics are at their worst state—even worse than Nintendo 64 graphics. All the sound effects are basically the same. It looks like a web game.

And the worst part is the triggers. The triggers on the Pro Controller and Joy-Cons are NOT designed for a racing game. You need analog triggers, and without them, the game is practically unplayable.

I tried playing with an 8BitDo controller with analog triggers, but the game interprets them as if they were binary inputs.

An absolute piece of garbage. I feel completely ripped off.

Sumimi Launcher for Assetto Corsa - Release v0.8

Hello everyone!

It’s been a very long time since I last updated Sumimi Launcher, but today is finally the day!

I’ve released Sumimi Launcher v0.8 for Assetto Corsa, introducing some major new functionality. I’ve also completely refreshed sumimi-launcher.com so it now works together with the launcher.

■ Main Features

1. Host your own online server easily
You can now host an online server without configuring a server in advance..
Just open Sumimi Launcher and go to:

Online Play → Create Server → Start

You can then battle with up to 4 players in:
- A-to-B point Battle
- Circuit Race
- Drift Battle

2. New Offline / Online game modes
Offline:
- Time attack (A-to-B race with your best times saved to your account)
- Drift Attack (A-to-B race where your drift score is counted)
- Traffic Attack (A more difficult Time Attack with traffic)
Online:
- Battle (A-to-B race with an automatic timer)
- Traffic Battle (A-to-B race with traffic)
- Drift Battle (A-to-B race where your drift score is counted, with a real-time scoreboard inside Assetto Corsa)
- Race (Circuit racing)

And of course, if you simply want to join and race on your favorite servers like before, you can still do that through Sumimi Launcher.

3. Community & Leaderboards
I decided to develop a website with account functionality and leaderboards.
You can now create your own account and log in through Sumimi Launcher. Your scores and times will then be saved to sumimi-launcher.com.

This means we can finally challenge each other in Time Attack and Drift Attack!
Sumimi Launcher also validates the cars being used. For now, only the default cars are supported, but I’ll soon add many more mods, just like I’m currently adding more tracks.

4. Routes & Checkpoints
I prepared several routes for each supported track. This includes the racing line and checkpoints.
All new Sumimi Launcher game modes use this route system.
Because of this, I can turn tracks into proper A-to-B races, while still supporting traditional circuit racing.

Checkpoints have also another important benefit:
If you crash, fall off the track, or otherwise end up in a place where you can’t continue, you will automatically be teleported back to the last checkpoint and can simply continue your race.
This works online as well, not just in offline Time Attack.

It’s especially useful for online racing and split-screen racing, where you simply want to race from start to finish without having to restart after a crash.

You can check all currently available routes here:
https://sumimi-launcher.com/tracks

5. Splitscreen
It works similarly to the split-screen functionality in CSP, but with a few improvements:
- Cleaner UI
- Automatic reconfiguration of each player's driving controls
- Easy switching between different control setups

So you can easily race split-screen using combinations such as:
- Keyboard + Gamepad
- Gamepad + Wheel
- Wheel + Keyboard
etc..

6. Wheel / Controller / Keyboard driving
Inside the launcher, it’s now very easy to switch between wheel, controller, and keyboard driving.
Your scores are also marked with the control method you used, so you can see how a score was achieved on sumimi-launcher.com.

Sumimi Launcher also has advanced controller support.
For example, when you select a controller-based race, the required controller-assist mod can automatically be enabled. When you switch back to another driving method, it can be disabled again.

The same system is used for drifting: drift mode and racing mode can use different steering setups.

7. Automatic mod downloading & installation
To race on my prepared routes, you no longer need to manually install every required track or mod beforehand.
If a required track is missing, Sumimi Launcher can detect it and automatically download and install it after you accept it before the race.

The same system is used for controller-assist mods. For example, if you enable a drift mode that requires a specific controller-assist mod, Sumimi Launcher can automatically download, install, and enable it only when needed.

8. Automatic updates
From now on, I’m planning to release many more updates, so I decided to add automatic update functionality to the launcher.
You can simply check for a new version from the launcher settings and download it with one click.

My first attempt at a YouTube channel

[Afternoon, just a shameless plug on my YouTube channel if anyone fancies watching](https://youtu.be/bw0pPHuBbhw)

It's my attempt at working through my neverending retro gaming backlog and trying to narrow it down a bit.

Really enjoyed learning how to make these.

Quick survey for my university thesis

Hey everyone!

I’m doing a university project related to sim racing and I need to collect some opinions from people who are into it.

I put together a short Google Forms survey and figured Reddit would be a great place to get some real answers from people who actually use or are familiar with racing sims.

It takes about 5 minutes, and you don’t need to own a rig to participate.

If you’ve got a few minutes to spare, I’d really appreciate the help!

Survey:

What do you think of my new Mini John Cooper's Works?

I think my car is ready to go racing, do you think the stickers are the right color?

I found this game on sale at 3 CHF on the Xbox Marketplace and its quite refreshing as it offers more stickers customisation than NFS Heat or NFS Hot Pursuit 2.
