Our take on Formula TOP
Rather than presenting formula racing from a conventional trackside chase view, Formula TOP uses a view from above and makes tire choices, pit timing, and changing weather central to race decisions. Its career also tracks team changes and driver moves across seasons.
What is Formula TOP?
Formula TOP is a 3D top-down formula racing game with a career that starts in a backmarker team.
Race results contribute to team development, and teams change over time as new ones enter and others leave. Driver-market decisions let racers seek a seat with another team for the next season. On track, the driving model emphasizes grip, apexes, slipstream overtakes, and side-by-side racing. Tire choices, pit stops, changing weather, car damage, and engine modes shape race strategy. Online multiplayer supports races with friends, while time trials feed into leaderboards. Driver and team data and texture files can be modified and shared through Steam Workshop. Spectator mode lets players watch AI races.
