Racing Apex is a fast and fun arcade style racing game that takes inspiration from some of the first 3D polygon arcade racing games from 1988 to 1992 and adds modern gameplay elements of car combat and multiplayer mayhem.

Mmm, for any reason it´s remember me interstate 76, looks cool.
:3
Thanks! Interstate 76 was a strong source of inspiration for Racing Apex!
when is the release date?
We are aiming for a full release by the end of the year, if the upcoming Steam greenlight goes well, we hope to offer early access.
Looks like Full Auto with retro Daytona-ish graphics (but Full Auto was more a street racer with traffic).
Color me interested. Any chance of having traditional/no weapon race modes?
Thanks, the early 3D arcade games such as Virtua Racing and Wing War (and even Virtua Fighter) have inspired Racing Apex.
There is the option to race with or without items and weapons, its also an option you can set on multiplayer races. We have separate online leaderboards for things like Online Time Trial with the no items/weapons option.
We're hoping some people will like the damage and destruction of twin Gatling guns and others may just wish to carve out the best racing line, with just the throttle and brake as their weapons of choice!
"There is the option to race with or without items and weapons, its also an option you can set on multiplayer races."
Just a suggestion; I think you might want to put it in the feature list, some people will be instantly disappointed with the inclusion of weapons without knowing the fact that no-weapon mode is a thing.
Many thanks for the feedback. We will update the feature list to better highlight the option of no weapons/items before we launch the greenlight.
If I may add you might want to keep in with touch with these guys, they seemed to be very excited with the game, but turned off big time with weapons/powerups in the same time
