Golden Lap is available NOW!

Hello, wonderful people of the internet!

art of rally turned 4 earlier this week, and what an incredible adventure it has been! Itโ€™s been even longer, more than 7 years, since we teased the first concept gameplay for our motorsport management game, โ€œThe 107% Ruleโ€.

Thanks to your unwavering support, we managed to complete Absolute Drift and art of rally! And now, in 2024, we joined forces with Strelka Games to create another exciting game!

Huge thanks to the amazing people that worked on the game, from artists, producers, developers, translators, marketing, community management, rally marshalls, and more.

Thank you for making this dream a reality!
