Hot Lap Racing has shown a lot of promise since it was announced earlier this year for both the Switch and PC, and new details have been revealed about the game. We’ve seen brief glimpses of the vehicles, but it was a little tricky to tell if they were all licensed or not and it is now clear: Hot Lap Racing will feature a roster of over 50 licensed vehicles and one community-created one.
This is impressive because for a game that aims to tackle so many different genres in racing and is a new IP, it would be easy to not go for licenses and go for look-alikes. One way to extend the life of the game would be to have a community-creation suite to draw from, however, so maybe that’s something we’ll see down the line as a way to have fan-made recreations of other legendary cars out there.
Cockpit Powerhouse
Hot Lap will feature various periods of time represented – from the ’60s to the modern era with single-seater Formula-style vehilcles, GT vehicles, Production, stock cars and a variety of different racing styles. There will be over fifteen licensed tracks to race on, including Zolder, Salzburgring, Kuwait Motor Town, Jarama, Laquais, Navarra, Oschersleben and Gingerman Raceway. There will also be several different options for camera angles to partake in the tracks with – from behind the car to cockpit view as well. The POV camera looks fantastic, with a high amount of detail in the cockpit.
