Desk Top Racer

Desk Top Racer is an online idle racing management game that runs on a strip of your desktop. You build a garage, prepare cars and manage races that can unfold while you work, study or play something else. You can also take the wheel and drive yourself.

Automatic races

In automatic mode, races run on their own while you choose a car, equip parts and maintain its condition. The Tour spans 32 countries, each with championships of ten races. Online races match rooms of 20 drivers by power level, and after completing the Tour you can enter MMR-based League championships. Six weather types rotate, changing which cars have the edge each day; Radar tracks the race, standings and records.

Driving mode

Driving Mode is experimental. You accelerate, brake and take corners yourself, with the same cars available to everyone, so the outcome depends on your driving. Online rooms hold up to 20 real drivers and include qualifying and a starting grid. You can also practise against bots on any track, using a braking guide line, while your automatic race continues in the background.

Improve your garage

Races earn crates containing parts across six part types and six rarities, from Common to Mythic. Drag parts into their slots to improve performance, upgrade them without a level cap, sell them for Credit or dismantle them for Scrap.

Your progression also includes a Mastery Tree for performance, economy and automation upgrades such as automatically opening crates. Complete Mechanical Collection part sets to earn stats for all your cars. Each car accumulates mileage in the Workshop, where it earns paint points to unlock colors. You also earn Credit and Mastery while the game is closed.

Missions and rewards

Five Weekly Missions arrive each week and reward DTR Coin. Ten Mascots, each with its own bonuses, can be won at the Mascot Machine. You can earn each country's TrackCard, evolve its rarity and equip cards as a set for bonuses. Plincar offers a spin for one DTR Coin to win Credit, Scrap or Mastery.

Desktop and Steam items

You can keep a compact race strip on your desktop or open panels for your garage, championship, Radar and progression. Some rewards may reveal special items compatible with the Steam Inventory, marked in the game with an M badge. Eligible items can be transferred between the game and your inventory, and viewed or listed on the Steam Community Market; availability and prices vary.
