This is the racing sim that >I< think we need. The physics are as realistic as those in X-Plane, with engine power, tire cohesion, and aerodynamic drag and downforce all accurately modeled. The tracks are the most fantastic things I could dream up... tracks that... COULD exist. Now, with 500+ horsepower supercars and realistic physics, you can tackle those tracks that only exist in our imagination, but COULD be built in reality if we ever dared... And, with in iPhone 6+ and a cheap Google Cardboard headset, you can do the whole thing in 3-D VR... which is really quite amazing. The world looks HUGE in there!

REAL STRATEGY Pit stops with a full crew and stop clock, soft/medium/hard/wet compounds, tire wear you can feel and fuel that runs out. Rivals manage their own stops too — and get them wrong sometimes. LIVING SKIES In-race weather forecast: "RAIN IN 2 MIN". Do you box for wets or gamble on slicks? Puddles, aquaplaning, storms and night races lit by headlights. AND MORE • Play portrait or landscape: your call. • Full game controller support. • Touch control editor: position, size and opacity. • Haptics and 100% original sound. • Four difficulty levels, with driving assists on the lower ones.
