We’ve been working hard on the Circuit Editor, one of the core features of Speed Rivals, and today we’re sharing a first look at how it works.
The editor lets you create, modify, and race on your own tracks — from simple layouts to wild dioramas with loops, ramps, and intersections.

[p][/p][p]Hey racers! 👋[/p][p]Today we’re excited to share something we’ve been working on for a while: the prototype of the track editor for Speed Rivals.[/p][p]In this 3:58 video you’ll see what the system can already do:[/p][p]🔹 Intuitive piece placement with snapping
🔹 Full control over length, elevation, and banking
🔹 Loopings and crazy layouts for those who want to push creativity
🔹 Automatic track closing when the ends connect[/p][p]🎥 Watch the full video here:[/p][previewyoutube][/previewyoutube][p][/p][p]Our goal is to give players the freedom to either recreate classic slot car tracks or build wild layouts that would be impossible in real life.[/p][p]⚡ Keep in mind this is still a prototype, so adjustments and improvements are on the way before the final release.[/p][p]We’d love to hear your thoughts:
👉 What kind of tracks would you like to build?
👉 Do you prefer realistic layouts or total creative freedom?[/p][p]Thanks for your support and for following the development journey! 🏁[/p]
