Torcs

TORCS is a highly portable multi platform car racing simulation. It is used as
ordinary car racing game, as AI racing game and as research platform. It runs on
Linux (all architectures, 32 and 64 bit, little and big endian), FreeBSD,
OpenSolaris, MacOSX and Windows (32 and 64 bit). The source code of TORCS is
licensed under the GPL ("Open Source"). You find more information about the
project in the menu bar on the left. If you need help have a look at the FAQ
first, I added a new Researchers section. You can contact us on the torcs-users
mailing list (you need to subscribe to use it because of spam).

TORCS features many different cars, tracks, and opponents to race against. You
can steer with a joystick or steering wheel, if the device is supported by your
platform. It is also possible to drive with the mouse or the keyboard. Graphic
features lighting, smoke, skid marks and glowing brake disks. The simulation
features a simple damage model, collisions, tire and wheel properties (springs,
dampers, stiffness, ...), aerodynamics (ground effect, spoilers, ...) and much
more. The game play allows different types of races from the simple practice
session up to the championship. Enjoy racing against your friends in the split
screen mode with up to four human players.

TORCS was initially created by Eric Espié and Christophe Guionneau, substantial
parts have been added by other contributors (have a look into the "Credits"
section for details). The project is currently headed by Bernhard Wymann.The
TORCS source code is licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License
(GPL 2), most of the artwork is licensed under the Free Art License, have a look
into the packages for details about copyright holders and the licensing.

The next big development goal is an online racing mode.
