Summary
Spirit of Speed is a racing simulation set in the early years of motor-sport and featuring 12 historic cars on nine authentic race circuits from around the world.
Players can test the individual handling and racing ability of the Bugatti 35Bm the Auto Union C (the precursor to the Audi), or if they prefer, the Alfa Romero P3, the Napier Railton and if these don’t suit, there are eight more historic racing cars to pick from.
Tussle for the lead as each car finds its optimum race line, but they will have to get tuned into the various demands and challenges of nine race circuits including Italy, France, United Kingdom and United States. The detail of the original cars – from the dash board to the shining metal surfaces is all here. Each car is accurately simulated using four wheel suspension and advanced physics model to make the car behave as it would in real life! But here you survive the crashes! Keep an eye on your oil, water and petrol – and choose your moments for a pit stop – if you break the car – you’re nowhere!
