The games are split into four categories: racing, driving, rails, and wings & waves. Whether you want to drift through mountain passes, haul cargo across a post-apocalyptic wasteland, run a transcontinental rail empire, or sail an open sea with the wind at your back, there's an engine here for you.

Come take a look now!

• The game should remember your fullscreen setting and restore it properly now (it will always initially launch in a window, but soon restore your setting)
• Removed a rogue collider in Geneva (EU DLC final track)
• Leaderboard navigation improved (pressing right on an entry takes you to the top row of buttons)
• Leaderboard has "zebra striping" now
• When manually challenging ghosts from the leaderbaord, the ghost opacity follows your preferences now instead of always being super opaque
• "previous rank" showing "--" always for players who had auto-download of rival ghosts disabled is fixed now
• Car number 89 has been found
• I added a cheat code to enable the debug view from my recent physics video (the unlock code is a secret, but I'm sure you will all figure it out)

The European Tour DLC is finally available on Steam!

This update adds support for the European Tour DLC. It contains the main files for the DLC, but to play them purchasing the European Tour DLC is required. The files are included directly in the main game in order to allow players to join multiplayer matches where the host has purchased the DLC and can host races on DLC tracks.

Also in this update:

Improved menu layouts

More rank images for the progress overview screen

The release date for the European Tour DLC (paid, price will be $4.99 USD or equivalent) is right around the corner!

The DLC contains the following 8 new tracks (each with a brand new song by the Holophonics!)

Hi everyone!

We have been hard at work preparing a paid DLC for Parking Garage Rally Circuit entitled "European Tour". It is expected to be released in early 2026. This DLC will include:

• 8 Brand new garages to race in, all from landmark locations across western Europe!

• A new original ska soundtrack by The Holophonics (9 new songs!)

Note: The content for this DLC will be included with the main game installation, purchasing the DLC simply allows access to it.  This is intentional, so that owners of the DLC can host online matches and players who join can play on DLC tracks even if they haven't purchased the DLC themselves.

We hope you are looking forward to the DLC which will double the amount of official content in the game! Thank you so much for playing our game!

• added a setting for ghost opacity, you can adjust ghost opacity between 100%, 75%, 50% (default), 25%, and 10% values.
• fixed the setting menu being unresponsive when opened while spectating a leaderboard ghost
• implemented a maximum replay recording duration of 10 minutes to get rid of crashes when you play in a track for too long and the replay overflows
• back-to-wheels forces are reduced now when using the Tiny Cars cheat
• hiding the little blue panel on car select and track select when the prompt it contains is hidden
• controls sliders show the correct % value when the controls screen loads now

• When you quick-restart a race, or restart from the pause menu, or restart from results but without setting a new best time, ghosts are simply re-used instead of re-downloaded! This should generally make the game way less over-enthusiastic about constantly re-downloading the same ghosts over and over.
• many achievements are re-checked on the progress overview screen now
• the long-standing "bronze trophies seem to follow silver trophies" bug has been fixed!
• quick restart during the attract mode "exploit" (which was kinda cute but buggy) has been properly disabled now :)

• chat in multiplayer no longer tries to "localize" what you type (fr -> FRANÇAIS bug)
• non-US keyboard layouts showing the wrong key prompt fix
• fixed bug where restarting a race with specific timing could lead to the car being stuck at the start line
• fixed loss of audio when playing after using the spectate feature
• increased the default music volume to match the other audio volumes
• fixed issues where locked cars could appear dark in the attract/demo mode
• turned around the rogue arrow blocks on liberty island
• fixed exploit where using the leaderboard "challenge" feature allowed access to locked tracks
• removed the ability to switch tracks while viewing the leaderboard, which caused problems
• made the game grab and lock the mouse less
• made sure that when spectating ghosts, they aren't hidden
• resetting cheats while in a race should no longer cause restart to take you to the wrong track/car
