TranslateIt’s the third consecutive day that, once entering the 3D race, the keyboard controls don’t work. The solution is to exit the game and re-enter once the race has already started for it to work. We’ve already had a month from updates and the game is still full of bugs, despite asking players for money. Level 40, a headquarters that deteriorates after every race, paying so that the league works the way it always has, and completely new variables and game dynamics about which there is no information at all… it’s a new game, but not the one that hooked me back in 2018.
The saddest part is that a great part in my community feels the same. The vast majority of players played in 2D, except for new players who have been able to join the game and who probably were already playing in 3D. 2D has been destroyed — in other words, everything that hooked the people who joined and have been playing for as long as I have is gone. It’s a new game… so, well… a new community will have to be created.
This past month I’ve had enough of the game: from fighting for first place in the championship before the update, to finishing 4th at the end of the season, and this season, after three races, zero points. Maybe I’ve gone stupid, maybe I no longer know how to play, maybe the game that hooked me is no longer there.
It’s very likely that this will be my last season in the game, if I even manage to finish it. Good luck with the new direction the game is taking, because I know there is a lot of hard work behind it, but, in my humble opinion, it has been done behind the community’s back and without taking it into account.
P.S. I’m posting this in English because the Spanish-speaking community has been forgotten… a language spoken by almost 600 million people, abandoned and ignored. It seems to me like a huge potential market… or maybe it isn’t.

Hi Erik,
Thank you for taking the time to write this out so clearly. I can hear how frustrating this has been for you, especially when the game no longer feels like the one you’ve been playing and enjoying for years.
On the keyboard controls: what you’ve described is actually very useful. If the issue only occurs when entering the 3D viewer before the race starts, that gives us a concrete condition to investigate, which we haven’t been able to reliably reproduce so far. I’ve passed this on to the team so we can dig into it properly.
On 2D: you’re right to call this out. The 2D experience is not where it needs to be, and we are rebuilding the 2D viewer from the ground up as I write this, with the aim of releasing it next week. The current live 2D viewer dates back to an older version of the game, and it has fallen out of sync (literally, in some cases) with the race simulation. We're rebuilding it to ensure totally accurate car positioning which could open the door to show W2W racing in 2D properly too. Additionally, we're working on 'Classic mode' which forces 2D with no W2W racing system (like the game you fell in love with in 2018). This might be of interest to you and it's coming to league boosts very soon.
I also want to acknowledge the point about the Spanish-speaking community. You’re right that it deserves better coverage, and the lack of clear communication there has understandably been frustrating. While I can’t personally moderate every language, I am working with moderators to make sure issues raised there are surfaced more reliably and not overlooked.
I know this update cycle has shaken confidence, especially for long-time players who feel like something familiar has been lost. The only way to address that is through fixes, improvements, and follow-through, and that’s where my focus is now. I appreciate you sticking around long enough to explain how this feels from your side.
