I received my beta key for Race Craft today and seems good so far.

Just wondering if anyone else has played it?

I put in my email, but no key. I just see "---" ?

I have been signed up for a while. I'm sure they will send you your keys.

Just got my key. I'll try it and post with my thoughts

First thoughts are:
Seems quite arcadey, sorta makes me think of trackmania but not "as" arcadey

Lot's of placeholder textures and the like so far but looks a bit cartoony. In all looks better than I was thinking.

I was able to power slide

Playing on a track nobody else ever has is quite novel

Still nothing, I emailed the email they sent no reply..

There was something that looked like a key in the steam link but it says it's not correct :/

Looking interesting for an opening release, being able to get another track generated (including scenery and undulation) in ~30 seconds is pretty good.

Strange, I put my email address in and got an email with the key in straight away.

I've yet to download and try it though.

Edit: Got the key, had to put my email in again.

1st generated map I loaded had a dead end. The barrier went across the track so nowhere to drive. 2nd map was better but I can't say I'm too impressed to be honest.
Handling's not that great, visuals are nothing special. Maybe it will improve a lot with time.

It is only a tech demo

I agree it's a bit acardey but I like it, it's something different to the usual racing games.

True. I think I was expecting something more sim-like which was wrong. Will be interesting to see how it progresses.
