Space Kart Racing application info
Are you good enough to join the Space Kart Racing League? It's an uphill battle against some of the toughest race tracks in the galaxy. Only the best pilots need apply. Think you've got what it takes? Go ahead, post your best time and try to qualify! We dare you!! Many tracks, ranging from short and easy, to long and challenging. Use the shorter tracks to practice your driving and racing skills, then race to beat your best time on the harder tracks. Easy to pick up for just a quick race, or dive in deep and redesign your ship from scratch, then give it a test drive on a longer course. Remember, this is space, not asphalt or dirt, so things move a bit differently up here. You're flying through a vacuum, not plowing through dirt or climbing a hill - there's no asphalt in space, this is as off-road as it gets! But watch out for those barriers - a space ship is not meant to crash into walls! Realistic physically modelled rocket-style controls, though implemented as simple two-finger controls. Want to go forward? Fire both thrusters. Turn right? Fire left thruster. Reverse thruster controls are also available for advanced play, allowing tighter turns, flat spins and better drift control - but only if you can handle it, and only if you choose to, otherwise stick with the simpler controls. Design your own ship in the garage, nearly endless possible combinations. Ships are physically modeled, and any changes made can affect performance, handling and speed. Even just moving parts around to adjust the weight distribution can have an important impact on the race. Like drifting? Put on large wings with small tanks, and slide the engine to the rear. Dislike drifting? Larger fuselage for mass, larger tanks to reduce fuel sloshing and over-steer, smaller wings to reduce turning strength, a bigger engine to counter the extra mass, and slide your engines forward a bit. Experiment to find your favorite setup. Tune your ship until it drives and handles the way YOU want it to. Now you're ready to race with the big boys, so let's go set some new records in the Space Kart Racing League!
