How much data does the game download?
Play loads a 35.5 MB WebAssembly engine. The complete English data set without movies is about 1.98 GB. The player requests menu, car, sound and track blocks as needed. The browser reuses cached blocks. With the complete local data set, the server can supply every required block in offline mode. Downloads and cache →
Can my browser run it?
Use a current desktop Chrome with hardware acceleration. The runtime requires WebGPU, shared memory, cross-origin isolation and origin-private browser storage. The runtime reserves 1 GiB of shared memory, plus graphics and browser allocations. Mobile, Safari and physical controllers require separate testing. Browser and Hardware Requirements →
How do I keep or move my progress?
Save from inside the game. After quitting, export a JSON backup in Player options. Import replaces the current profiles, so export anything you want to keep first. Clearing browser downloads removes cached game blocks. Clearing all site data can also remove saves. Saves and backups →
Is multiplayer or cloud saving available?
The runtime provides single-player Quick Race and Career, with movies disabled. The site language can change independently of the English game menus. Profiles stay in this browser. This player does not connect to matchmaking, online multiplayer or cloud saves. How to Play With Friends →
What if loading, controls or sound stop working?
If the hardware check fails, try current desktop Chrome with acceleration enabled and storage available. Quit any game still running in another tab. Click the game picture again if input or sound is missing. If a scene keeps loading, check the connection or the local data set, then quit and retry. Troubleshooting →
