UPDATE: v1.0 released on Steam and xbox (PS4 / Switch to follow)

ORIGINAL POST: This is only in Steam (PC) Early Access at the moment but "the game will later release for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch." ( https://discord.gg/U7sWc7Ha )

It can run on reasonably low or medium PC specs / laptops, worth giving it a go even if just trying it out in the 2hr return window... Might be tempted myself to get a switch just to play it on the go!

Example recent online league races (with the newly added replay camera angles):

Latest video for anyone interested - Feathers (Caterhams) this time at a small 'club' circuit. Great fun ;)

Can't seem to download the free version of this on the Xbox. It gives me 2 options, one is free the other is £15.74

Has everyone else paid for it?

I don't have an xbox but I am active in the main game Discord and haven't seen any mention of a free version.

Great to see more and more interested in the game. I wonder what our average age is?! Plenty of younger players online but definitely appeals to the 'older gamer', nostalgia and all that!

Just picked this up on Xbox and enjoyed it but I think at the moment, with the content available, I'd get bored quite quickly. I love the handling of the cars and the art style though. I'm looking forward to seeing where the game is in a few months time.
