Ragtag Racing (2021) - Every PC F1 Game
2Ragtag Racing by Vince Vector/Credit 1 Studios/Haphazard Studios, 2021.
Yet another Unity based little arcade racer! This one features 1960s style F1 cars. The name Ragtag Racing is apt, as the computer controlled cars can be a bit, well, ragtag! They collide, spin, crash, but also race hard on occasion!
There are 15 tracks (none based on real life) and a turbo feature (which drains fuel, so watch out (see the last "crash" clip below!). Cars are just a variety of colours with no real performance difference.
Overall, a mildly challenging, somewhat ugly arcade racer; the game has some sort of low-resolution internal resolution, making for lots of stepped/blocky edges on objects. Gamepad control is a bit old school, with buttons for accelerate and brake!
I should note that the banding visible is more down to the capture, though there is a little of it in-game too.
1. Race Start (Monza): 0:00 See how sketchy the computer controlled cars can be, off the line! No real race tracks here though.
2. Spray Effects (Silverstone): 0:22 A swoopy track surrounded with jets and a hill-based runway! No rain in this game though.
3. Tunnel & View (Monaco): 0:40 There's not really a city track, but here's one with a boat in the water. You can't get to it though, due to invisible walls.
4. Wet Track (Spa-Francorchamps): 0:58 A sort-of Eau Rouge style bit, and then some less Spa-like bits! Again, no rain.
5. Pitstop (Interlagos): 1:20 There are no pit stops, despite you running out of fuel! But this clip shows how long cars take to stop!
6. Huge Crash (Montreal): 1:38 I use the turbo boost to extreme here, to take out other cars (and myself)... with an amusing ending, should you run out of fuel!
