Well this is a great racing game. I will let a couple of members describe it for you..

Here we have a VERY nice racing game indeed. The controls are simple just as it should be, you don't need much time to get into the game. Good.

Racing feeling is pure and great, the choice of cars is ok and they look quite accurate. The Career Mode is just cool, it's like a sort of Mini-Gran-Turismo with gains, upgrades and new cars.
Only thing that annoyed me a little is that you have to repeat the first race numerous times in order to be competitive for the next ones...

Thumbs up for this

The gameplay is good. I have put the game down and picked it back up around 9-10 times. I have played it every single day since P.A. suggested it. However it has some annoying sides, like Czech text lots of places, repetition of first race over and over to get upgrades and improvements, and when you are fully upgraded it seems you can only win the harder races, by getting pushed along by the faster cars behind you...

Chroelle and Usul said everything: excellent racing game with 1 and two player, training and career mode. Gameplay is nice, I played it every single day for two weeks now and I'm not tired of it.
There are some minor flaws, especially that they didn't do a complete translation of the game, so that some parts are in Czech (same for the editor).

  So here´s another racing game from "Hippo Games" the developers of "Bombic". I really liked this one for having many different tracks, cars and lots of options. You can do single races, fight for a cup or play a career mode which gives you the possibility to earn money and upgrade your car or buy a better one.
  
  Graphics are simple but fine and I enjoyed the czech music very much...
