About this game
NEW STAR™ GP is the arcade racing game where every decision counts - on and off the track! You take control of your own motorsport team, guide your team’s technological development, plan your race strategy, take the wheel, and drive to victory! With a simple but deep gameplay experience and appealing retro visuals, NEW STAR™ GP puts you in the driving seat for every twist and turn as you manage and race your team through decades of racing, from the 1980s all the way to the present day!
STUNNING RETRO VISUALS
Beautifully rendered retro looks and a driving retro soundtrack that bring back fond memories of the iconic racing games of the 1990s.
CHOOSE YOUR RACE STRATEGY!
A pick-up-and-play arcade driving experience that has more depth than you think. While anyone can take the wheel and have success, those who want to truly master the game will want to make use of tyre choice and wear, component reliability, slipstreaming opponents, fuel load, and even pit strategy. Anything can happen in races, from catastrophic component failures and dynamic weather changes, to tyre blowouts and multi-car pileups.
START YOUR CAREER IN THE 80s
Compete in GPs, Elimination Races, Time Trials, Checkpoint Races, and one-on-one Rival Races. In between events, choose how to upgrade your car, or which staff perks to equip: from sponsored car components to faster pit stops. When you’ve won a season, progress to the next decade of racing and face a new set of opponents and challenges in a brand new car!
RACE ICONIC LOCATIONS AROUND THE WORLD!
Race a myriad of events across the decades at some of the most iconic racing locations around the world. Earn rewards for setting personal bests!
CHALLENGE YOUR FRIENDS IN SPLIT-SCREEN MULTIPLAYER!
Enjoy the game with your friends with a fun split-screen social multiplayer mode.
Play with 2, 3, or 4 players, choose your car, driver, handicap, and play mode, and any of the tracks to compete on. Points carry over from event to event, so it’s as easy to play one race as it is to play a whole season of racing together.
WRITE YOUR NAME IN THE HALL OF FAME!
Can you beat competition from all over the world to clock the fastest Hot Lap time? Outpace your opponents’ ghost-cars and claim your place on the Steam leaderboards!
