We’ll be watching the fastest times all week — and maybe even rewarding them 👀

This weekend we showcased Speed Rivals at Jarama Classic, thanks to our friends at FLY Car Model.
Hundreds of players tried the demo—including families, collectors, and motorsport fans.

🏁 We recreated the iconic Jarama track
🚐 Added exclusive FLY vans to the game
🏆 Hosted a time trial competition with real-world prizes!

It’s been incredible to see how much love the game got—even in demo stage.
Thanks to everyone who played, and stay tuned: the FLY vans will be coming to the next update 👀

Thanks for your idea! Let’s build the most chaotic slot car collection together!

“I’ve dreamed of making my own video game since I was a kid…”
And now that dream is becoming real with Speed Rivals, my indie slot racing game.

After fixing a major physics issue, I dived into a phase filled with excitement, frustration… and endless menus.

In this second devlog you’ll see: The evolution from a barely-moving car to a full demo.
Car selection, track system, lap tracking and big-room settings.
How phonk & lo-fi music ended up in the game.
The madness of building a settings menu from scratch.
And the moment where I almost lost it with “one more little feature.”
