Description
Top-down racing at its best!
Features:
Lap Timing
Track Editor for building your own tracks!
Car Editor
Comes with 5 tracks, 2 by me and 3 by Remcolanting.
The track editor displays tooltips to help your get started.
You can share your tracks with your friends by saving them to the disk. I'm planning on adding a server where you can upload your tracks right from the widget too.
You can also save your tracks to the widget for easy loading later.
The widget will notify you of updates automatically

Thanks! Post your best lap times! You can customize your car settings as much as you want. I got 7.9 seconds in "Where's my straight?"
Default circuit (Slidy), default car (A5, B3, T4, S3): 0:35.031
default circuit and car: 19.687 Cool and addictive game. Kudos!
Nice widget, but needs more of that widgety glossiness and CPU opponents. Also, it would be super cool to race between other my.opera members, but I guess it is going too far
Could you give your ABTS(Acceleration, Braking, Turning, maximum Speed) for good fast normal car (not too easy), meanwhile I'm trying to configure it myself. I made up with something like this: A5 B8 T3 S8. Having custom image as background would be nice too. to Demonstro... with default settings I got 0:31.063, beat that! 8)
Is there supposed to be sound on this widget? Other than that issue, this is a cool gaming widget!
Nope, sound is rather difficult to get working at all, so making it sound good in a game is about impossible at the moment.
Hey guys, New to opera and definately enjoying this widget. I made a fan club... Come join It'll probably be easier to post tracks on a blog... or something. http://my.opera.com/widgetrfc/about/
Nice, joined!
i'm using a 2.80 GHz CPU with 448MB of RAM, but this widget lags whenever i run it. Can you explain this happpening?
Bad graphics card perhaps? I've noticed it seems to affect performance.
maybe.... but zomg, i think the track editor will be a lil more user friendly if we can draw our track on some application like Paint first, before uploading it to our widget......
My only request is an opponent to race, CPU controled with various difficulty settings.
which software did you use to make this widget?
I use Aptana, but you can use pretty much any text-editor to write code. For the graphics I used Photoshop.
I just got a 0:16.531 on default track with default car to eestlane - beat that!
zomg are you aware that ruf_RGT has copied ur widget exept dat he changed the car to a ferrari
do u need a keyboard because i am using an archos 5?
i played something like this on my video game, when i was very little... nice!
Great widget! For me, Opera is a better Social Website than facebook.... I love it! . .
