On The Ramp

Your rival is right there – you're racing side-by-side, fighting for the next jump, the next corner. You've barely regained control after a landing, and you're neck-and-neck again. A ramp. A flight spanning dozens of meters. Suspension pushed to its absolute limit. Touching down at 140 km/h. Another corner. Another jump. And the speed just keeps climbing.

You start with a cheap frame and a modest 120 horses. It's a fight for survival. You build your reputation race by race, and as your name grows, so does your workshop. Customers' money goes straight back into your machine: a V8 engine, forced induction, 600 horsepower. Lighter wheels. Long-travel suspension. Aerodynamics – but which ones? Cheap and heavy, or bare pipes to save weight? Or perhaps carbon fiber, costing every cent of your savings?

Inspired by Stunt Car Racer — back when suspension was something you could see.
