Simcade racer Hot Lap Racing is close to release. Ahead of its July 16 launch, the full era-defying car lineup of the title has been revealed, including 53 vehicles from seven decades.
Launch day is only two weeks away for Hot Lap Racing. The game, developed by Zero Games Studios and Vision Réelle, invokes the "spirit of old TOCA and GRID games", according to ZGS CEO Pierre -Luc Vettier, is not a simulator, but rather an arcade racing game featuring some sim elements and cockpit camera view even for the Nintendo Switch version.
As we previously highlighted, the game takes a slightly different approach when it comes to its content, allowing players to pit cars from vastly different eras of motorsport against each other - on tracks that are not found in many sims these days, such as the Salzburgring or Jarama.
While not all of the game's 17 circuits have been announced, the developers and publisher Maximum Entertainment have unveiled the full 53-car list of Hot Lap Racing. It includes cars from the 1960s, such as the Brabham BT24, all the way to current-day machines like the Peugeot 9X8 and even fictional cars from the near future, with some rare cars forming part of the roster as well.
Not all of the cars are licensed, but in some instances, it is obvious which iconic vehicle was the inspiration behind a car. 1960s sportscar fans will immediately pick up on what the Fred Motors GT is supposed to be, we would think.
All things considered, Hot Lap Racing features a very interesting selection of cars including junior formulae, Formula 1, CART, and even 90s Touring Cars. It is certainly a roster that could go toe to toe with many proper sim racing titles out there - not just because of the number of rare gems in the lineup.
Hot Lap Racing is set to release on PC via Steam and Epic, as well as Nintendo Switch on July 16.
