Ignite Game Technologies is changing the way people think about racing games. Unencumbered by a single-player legacy, we are building from the ground up to be a multi-player world where racers from across the world can come to compete against each other in the most realistic environment ever developed.

Our game is free to download and play. Just like in the real world, racers can pay to enter races and to buy higher performance vehicles; and just like in the real world, the people that do well in races can take home some serious prizes. Our game never gets “old.” We’re constantly adding new cars and tracks, and more importantly, we’re constantly adding new events where people can test their skill, impress their friends, and, if they’re good enough, take home some coin.
