With 12 vehicles and 19 different tracks and a range of customizable liveries for both your driver avatar and your cars plus helmets and victory celebrations to unlock by levelling up, there is endless fun to be had on the race track, whether you’re racing online or drumming up some sibling rivalry with some side-by-side couch co-op.

We might be biased but we think Circuit Superstars is unique in how it offers charming, relaxed gaming to some players, and a challenging, rewarding racing simulation to others, all in the same game.

There’s a racing style for everyone, with multiple motorsport disciplines represented in the game including Rallycross, Open wheel single-seaters, SuperTrucks, GT racing, Eurotrucks and many more — and plenty more free content to come in the future too!

And who better to help you perfect your racing lines and squeeze absolutely everything out of each lap? How about a certain Formula One star Mr. Lando Norris. IndyCar more your thing? Then perhaps you’ll prefer some tips from Romain Grosjean or Conor Daly. Or maybe you want to learn the to slide around corners like they do in Rally and the Extreme E Championship – paging Catie Munnings and Jamie Chadwick!

As part of a collaboration with BBC Studios and Top Gear, we invited a top-tier line up of 10 motorsport, esports, and YouTube stars to take on a special Circuit Superstars version of the Top Gear Test Track, in a unique take on the “Star in a Reasonably Fast Car” feature. After a tight battle, Lando snatched victory from Formula E driver Sam Bird in the very final moments, claiming victory of the inaugural edition of our (catchily-titled) Top Gear x Circuit Superstars Star in a Reasonably Fast Car Invitational – phew! Surely there is no higher honor for this future world champion!

CIRCUIT SUPERSTARS is a top-down racer built by racing fans, for racing fans. The game celebrates generations of multi-disciplinary motorsport, focusing on driving that feels great – but with a high skill ceiling, that will have players spending hours honing their perfect lap. Starting out is simple but learning the nuances of each car’s handling and finding the best racing line through each corner of each track will be a challenge for a long time to come. Not only that, but with the option of fuel usage, tire degradation and racing damage, even a good pit stop strategy could make the difference between hero and zero.
