About
Pretend Cars Racing is back—rebuilt from the ground up. Keeping its signature balance between arcade fun and simulation feel, Pretend Cars Racing 2 brings more cars, more tracks, and more ways to race. Create and share custom circuits with the built-in Track Creator and Steam Workshop support, experience a dynamic day–night cycle designed for long multi-class events, and enjoy a long list of improvements across the board.
A refreshed physics approach makes the game instantly enjoyable from your very first laps—yet deeply rewarding as you improve. You’ll find yourself chasing that perfect lap time whether you’re racing AI, battling friends, or pushing for the top spot on the global leaderboards.
The game supports split-screen multiplayer so you can race against friends, locally or via the Internet even if they don't own a copy, through Steam's Let's Play Together!
The base game includes 37 tracks inspired by real-world circuits and original layouts, plus 7 car categories spanning multiple eras of motorsport—each demanding a different driving style.
Alongside nearly 40 included tracks, you can expand the roster with your own creations or community-made circuits. The Track Creator is easy to use and fully integrated with Steam Workshop. You can also customize the names and looks of the entire driver grid to make every championship feel personal.
Time progression during races adds fresh challenges. Let the hours pass naturally—or speed them up for faster transitions—to recreate night races and endurance-style events, even under the rain.
Follow the journey of a young sim racer as he takes his first steps toward becoming a real racing driver.
From his early years to the challenges of professional motorsport, the story takes you through different stages of his life and introduces a variety of racing categories along the way.
The revised handling model improves steering, weight transfer, grip, and overall control while supporting FWD, RWD, and AWD cars.
Every car has its own character, bringing the game closer to a simulation without losing the fast, accessible feel that defines Pretend Cars Racing.
Racing feels more alive thanks to upgraded particle effects, improved audio, dynamic lighting, and persistent skid marks that leave a visible trace of the battles taking place on track.
From tire smoke and debris to changing lighting conditions, every race builds its own visual story.

Pretend Cars Racing 2 is a fantastic and budget-friendly retro top-down racer. It perfectly blends easy arcade fun with realistic handling.Top features: Great night racing, dynamic weather, a built-in track editor, and a handy rewind feature for single-player.Multiplayer: Perfect for racing against friends via split-screen couch co-op.Style: Beautiful 2D pixel art packed with 80s charm. [1] (https://traxion.gg/retro-top-down-racer-pretend-cars-racing-2-exits-early-access/), [2] (https://steamdb.info/patchnotes/22591378/)💡 Room for improvement:While the rewind feature is a great addition, it would be even better if using it cost in-game points to penalize mistakes. Adding a setting to toggle it completely on or off would also let hardcore players enjoy a truer challenge.
Excelente juego. Me recuerda a la adolescencia, agarrar la pc y meterle a un juego de un emulador con mil jueguitos y en una de esas enganchabas uno de carreras. El juego es súper completo, tanto para jugar y reirte un rato con tus amigos para ver cómo derrapan o ponerte súper pro competitivo. Diferentes modos, súper personalizable, multijugador, por momento casi un simulador. Súper recomendable, una ganga para las horas de juego que te puede dar.

I’m not usually a fan of racing games, but I liked the first one, so I gave this a try and really enjoyed it. The gameplay feels great, and the AI is better than in the first game. The pixel art looks very nice, especially when the cars zoom in. Definitely worth it. If you’re not sure, try the demo.
Excelente segunda versión del PCR, mejorando en todos los aspectos y con una jugabilidad espectacular. Estoy dándole al joystick como nunca, si sigo acelerando así voy a tener que hacer un pit stop para cambiar gatillos. Muy bueno el modo día/noche y los montones de upgrades gráficos y de juego desde el PCR1.
I really wanted to like this cute little game. But after playing for about an hour, I realised i was just repeating everything over and over. I started the career and with every car step up it kinda felt like the prvius car just a littel faster. When I unlocked the F1 car for test, a guy neamed Lorenzo ensured me that this was like driving no other car. It would accelerate and brake like no other, and turning would be like on rails..... But naaah even the F1 car felt like driving a rally car drifting a round all over the place like driving on ice. Pros: -- Cons: - You can cut corners, np penalty - no damage, you can slam into anything,walls and other cars , no damage model - no tire wear - no fuel managing - no pit stops... I was bored after 45 min... sorry
It went through the GIA Refund Lab and it came out a clean Recommend! I didn't expect it to have a story mode! I love it. It makes you feel like you're playing a Game Boy Advance game at times. I didn't play that much, but what I played... I loved and for the price, it's a no-brainer. BUY IT! These are the kind of Devs I want to support. They're giving you a lot here for very little and it all feels thought out and polished. I play some of it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFUq04IO3I0&t=369s
Handles Really well and it has a good variety of cars and tracks.
Muy divertido y adictivo. Pretend Cars Racing 2 tiene ese estilo arcade simple pero efectivo que engancha rápido. Las carreras son dinámicas, los autos se sienten ágiles y siempre te deja con ganas de seguir jugando. No busca ser complicado ni realista, y justamente ahí está su encanto. Ideal para pasar un buen rato y disfrutar carreras sin vueltas. Muy recomendado.
Прикольная игра чтобы защипнуть на часа 3-4, за это время можно пройти все, если очень постараться
Recontra intuitivo! Lo instalé y en menos de 15 segundos ya estaba pisteando como un campeón. Perfecto para apagar el cerebro un rato y tirar unas partiditas en la deck :)
