2.3.0

SPEED DREAMS

Speed Dreams is a Motorsport Simulator featuring high-quality 3D graphics and an accurate physics engine, all targeting maximum realism. Initially forked from TORCS, it has now reached a clearly higher realism level in visual and physics simulation, thanks to its active development team and growing community. It mainly aims to implement exciting new features, cars, tracks and AI opponents to make a more enjoyable game for the player, while constantly pushing forward visual and physics realism. It is also intended for any research, study or teaching activity, around physics and AI, thanks to its GPL V2+ license, and the clear and modular architecture of its C/C++ code base.

 

Lastest version (2.3.0):

The day has come! Finally here we have the 2.3.0 final version and we are very happy to offer it to you. It has been many months of hard work to get to this moment, and finally the time has come to make it public. Since our previous release, 2.2.3, we have made more than a thousand commits to our source code, so you can see that we have not stopped working on this project at any time.
As you know we have gone through a period of beta and Release Candidate, where we have fixed a lot of bugs and even improved some features that we did not want to be left behind. Here are some of the most important new features of this version:

  • Added tire temperature and degradation in Supercars, 67GP, MPA11 and MPA12 categories, in addition to the existing MP1.

  • New interiors and animated drivers in some Supercars models, like the Boxer 96, Cavallo 360, FMC GT4, and the Kanagawa Z35 GT-S.
