About the Game

STEAM NEXT FEST:

  • Free demo — download ~110 MB • on track in <10 s

  • Instant Restart visible (key + gamepad) • Easy/Normal, mph or km/h, global leaderboards.

Virtuoso GP Race-On doesn’t copy or “dress up” the retro: it’s a new arcade racer

with bespoke physics and handling that recreates the feel of 90s polygonal greats.

It isn’t emulation or a fancy filter: gameplay comes first.

WHY YOU’LL GET HOOKED

- True 90s handling: precision, inertia and tuned drifts — not a “retro look” with modern-feel controls.

- EXTEND TIME: hit checkpoints, gain seconds; miss one and it’s Game Over. Pure arcade.

- Instant loop: restart instantly, with ghosts & split times… “one more run”.

- Global leaderboards: fight for thousandths and share your best laps.

GAME MODES

- Arcade: 3 chained routes in classic style, time pressure and route choices.

- Season: a full championship across the 9 tracks.

- Career: upgrade your car step by step and beat new rivals in progression.

- Minigames: skill challenges to master drift, line and rhythm.

CONTENT

- 9 tracks with their reverse versions, across 3 regions (Americas, Eurasia, Africa/Oceania).

- 3 vehicle classes and unlockable cars.

- Global record table with ghosts and split times.

VISUAL STYLE

- Low-poly with dithering and reduced color palettes for an authentic 90s grain.

- Simulated 4:3 → 16:9 stretching (as on period monitors).

- “Aged” art and clean UI for instant readability.

TRY IT: FREE DEMO

- 2 tracks: Sakura Coast and Dunas de Giza.

- 1 single-seater tuned to slide sideways.

- Works with keyboard and gamepad.

- Instant restart to practice and set times.

WHO IS IT FOR?

For players who lived —or seek today— true arcade racing: tight control,

time pressure and the satisfaction of nailing the perfect lap.
