Description
Race Engineer v1.2 is an engineering-first motorsport game about running one car from the workshop and pit wall. Study telemetry, plan named tire sets, fuel, pit windows, and weather contingencies, then make every call yourself. Five rival teams use component builds, tire wear, heat, fuel, and deterministic 120 Hz physics, with no hidden grip bonuses. Review decisions after each race and reuse evidence through an engineering notebook. Built largely with GPT-6 Astra in Codex. Free for Windows.

Could you build this?
Partial A 2D strategy interface is manageable, but developing a balanced, deterministic motorsport physics and degradation simulation with reactive competitor AI is a complex mathematical and systems design task.
What it would actually take: The game needs a deterministic simulation engine (e.g., in Unity, Godot, or TypeScript) running mathematical models for tire thermal dynamics, fuel-weight penalties, aero balance, and track evolution. The hard part is balancing the complex heuristic AI for rival strategists to dynamically adapt to race conditions and safety cars without exploiting predictable patterns.
