Quantum Throttle

Race the car you can manage

Quantum Throttle is a 3D circuit racer about strategy as much as speed. You line up on a grid of up to eight cars with a limited tank of fuel. Your tires wear, barrier hits cost you speed and bodywork, and somewhere in the race you have to decide when to pit and what to ask the crew for. A clean exit and a well-timed stop matter more than raw pace.

Features

•         12 hand-built circuits: from the harbour bends of Azure Bay and the desert straights of Copper Mesa to the storm-lashed Monsoon Ring, the fog of Blackline Refinery, the floodlit Neon Quay and the orbital banking of Stratos Bank.

•         Real pit strategy: pause the race and plan your stop on a full strategy screen. Choose fuel, tires (Soft, Medium or Hard) and repairs separately. Your rivals make their own stops too.

•         Damage that matters: barriers cost speed, body condition and tire life. Watch for the CRITICAL DAMAGE warning and decide whether a stop is worth it.

•         Rain, fog and night: each circuit has its own default weather, or set dry, rain or fog and day, dusk or night lighting yourself. A safety car controls the field after an incident.

•         Five championship cups: Founders, Meridian, Stormline, Orbital and the 12-round World Tour, with credits to spend on engine, brake and tire upgrades.

•         Three difficulty modes: Rookie (slower rivals, no crash-outs), Club (the standard race) and Expert (fast rivals, full damage).

•         Your race, your rules: Sprint, Standard and Endurance presets, or set laps, field size, grid position, fuel, damage, tire wear and the safety car yourself.

•         Practice mode: unlimited fuel and no wear, so you can learn every braking point.

•         Two players, one screen: local split-screen on one keyboard, or with gamepads.

•         Your way to drive: keyboard or gamepad (analogue stick and triggers), three camera views (close chase, wide chase, cockpit), a rear-view mirror, adjustable steering response and optional steering assistance.
