| New Car - The Stormer | 2026-02-26 | The Stormer is an absolute animal on the track. It's a huge car with a huge amount of power. But it's a bit old school, even for the '80's - so it's a handful around corners!Along with this traditional racing livery, there's a host of other paint jobs to unlock, including Furious Black and Lightning Blue!This is also a Major update 'under the hood' of the game. The whole control system has been re-made and we hope this fixes any input and control issues players have had. It should also show performance improvements on older PC's.We hope you enjoy the update.And to help celebrate the update - the game is 50% off for a week. |
