About
Pretend Cars Racing is back—rebuilt from the ground up. Keeping its signature balance between arcade fun and simulation feel, Pretend Cars Racing 2 brings more cars, more tracks, and more ways to race. Create and share custom circuits with the built-in Track Creator and Steam Workshop support, experience a dynamic day–night cycle designed for long multi-class events, and enjoy a long list of improvements across the board.
A refreshed physics approach makes the game instantly enjoyable from your very first laps—yet deeply rewarding as you improve. You’ll find yourself chasing that perfect lap time whether you’re racing AI, battling friends, or pushing for the top spot on the global leaderboards.
The game supports split-screen multiplayer so you can race against friends, locally or via the Internet even if they don't own a copy, through Steam's Let's Play Together!
The base game includes 37 tracks inspired by real-world circuits and original layouts, plus 7 car categories spanning multiple eras of motorsport—each demanding a different driving style.
Alongside nearly 40 included tracks, you can expand the roster with your own creations or community-made circuits. The Track Creator is easy to use and fully integrated with Steam Workshop. You can also customize the names and looks of the entire driver grid to make every championship feel personal.
Time progression during races adds fresh challenges. Let the hours pass naturally—or speed them up for faster transitions—to recreate night races and endurance-style events, even under the rain.
The revised handling model improves control and steering feel, and supports FWD, RWD, and AWD cars. It brings the game closer to simulation while keeping its arcade spirit.
It’s not just lighting: upgraded particle effects, improved audio, and persistent skid marks make every race feel more intense and alive.

It's just fun! Love the look, gameplay and physics! And it's a steal for the price. Only wish: Option to set an individual (closer) zoom especially for SteamDeck (runs like a charm btw) to make out the cars better and enjoy the pixel art even more.
A fantastic little racer that gives you plenty out of the starting gate. I really like how the cars have actual weight to them; you'll understand what I mean once you give it a try. There's a nice selection of fictional and real world courses, plus a bunch of different car classes to choose from. I also rather enjoyed the very retro sponsors you see on the trackside, very cool throwbacks ;)
Despues de jugar mucho al primer juego, baje la demo del segundo hace unos meses, ya se notaba muchas mejoras, pero la mejora de esta segunda entrega es magnifica , el comportamiento de la IA (ahora siento que se dan mas cuenta cuando estas ahi) el motor de impactos es mucho mejor, la sensacion de manejo y control de cada auto le da una personalidad particular a cada categoria, la curva de aprendizaje es notoria con el pasar de cada vuelta, y la suma de un modo online estimo q le va a alrgar muchisimo las horas de vida. El precio es muy accesible, realmente creo q vale la pena cada centavo. La compra es un SI rotundo. Pd: Los carteles de ati y coleco son un puñal a la nostalgia. Jajaj
Excelente segunda versión del PCR, mejorando en todos los aspectos y con una jugabilidad espectacular. Estoy dándole al joystick como nunca, si sigo acelerando así voy a tener que hacer un pit stop para cambiar gatillos. Muy bueno el modo día/noche y los montones de upgrades gráficos y de juego desde el PCR1.
Handles Really well and it has a good variety of cars and tracks.
Muy buen trabajo con respecto al primero, detalles y lindos detalles por todos lados. Muchos circuitos nuevos y coches muy bien recreados, me encantan las físicas de los obstaculos como los conos. Aparte del aspecto gráfico que te sumerge en todas las carreras. A seguir con el trabajo, felicitaciones!
Pretend Cars Racing 2 is an awesome racing game. Just like the original but with everything turned up to 11. More cars, more tracks, better graphics.. And it's even getting a campaign & map builder. Watch this space - I will edit this and link to a full review when 1.0 releases!

I have played many racing games in this genre and believe this to be one of the best. Once I got accustomed to the car handling the game became very addictive (just one more race). The developer is very attentive on the discord server and seems intent on listening to the community to better the game. I'm looking forward to the upcoming editor and the community-made maps. I fully recommend the game as one of the best values around!!!
Прикольная игра чтобы защипнуть на часа 3-4, за это время можно пройти все, если очень постараться
