Total Drafting Simulator (Early Access 0.81)

Since the Early Release of this game, a slew of major changes have been made behind the scenes, and a brand new release is planned to replace v0.81 in every way! Stay tuned for upcoming information, and thank you to everyone who played this Early Release.

(Early Release - Version 0.81)

Check out the early release of Total Drafting Simulator now!

This Sandbox racing game lets you take control in a unique drafting experience. Race against a field of AI cars as you try to reach the finish line first!

In this early release, you can experience the full drafting engine, designed to recreate realistic situations as seen in NASCAR super-speedway events and other forms of slipstream auto-racing.

If you're like me and you like crashing too much, you'll enjoy the work I've put into making a satisfying and realistic collision system with tire rub, aggression, smoke, and even not-so-realistic explosions.

Download Total Drafting Simulator right here for free! Available for Windows PC and Android mobile platforms.
