Smells Like Burnt Rubber

Smells Like Burnt Rubber is a racing game where you compete online, race with friends locally and crash into other cars on the way to the finish. It has straightforward controls and supports controllers.

Race modes

Online races let you compete against players around the world. You can also race locally with friends, including sessions where another player joins through online co-op. Up to four players can race together in split-screen, either for quick races or a full Grand Prix. Local multiplayer supports one keyboard alongside any number of gamepads.

You can play 14 challenges solo or in local split-screen. Weekly and monthly global leaderboard events are open to everyone: race as often as you like, with your best time recorded on a leaderboard visible to all players that shows your current rank.

Tracks and vehicles

Race high-speed sports cars on concrete tracks or take a monster truck onto mud tracks and shove other drivers into crash barriers. Some tracks have surprises, including oncoming trains. Each track lets you choose a vehicle group; switching groups changes how your vehicle handles corners and how you can target collisions with other drivers, so you can adapt your strategy.

Customize your racer

Dress your avatar in colorful suits, and choose player icons and flags. As you play, you earn fame that unlocks tuning parts, including tires for better grip on different surfaces and chip tuning for improved bike performance. You can also add vibrant underbody lighting to your vehicles.

Soundtrack

The soundtrack features music from German newcomer bands.
