Backseat Champions

An endless source of real, exciting races.

Manage your driver’s race in an autobattler with roguelite mechanics, focused on the thrill of racing. Select random upgrades throughout the race, navigate the weather and pick the most optimal tire compounds. Overcome each race's challenges and win co-op championships!

Feel free to try the demo with multiplayer before buying the game!

With everyone on equal footing, how will you make the difference?

• Upgrade your car. During the race, select random upgrades, unlock bonuses and build the fastest car to win each race

• Manage your boost. Manipulate your car by using boosts and aerodynamics buffs. Assist your driver with overtakes, defending and by setting overall faster lap times

• Quick, exciting races. Each race lasts roughly 10 minutes by default. Quickly hop in and out, or apply modifiers to extend race lengths up to 500%!

• Your choices matter. Everyone starts on equal footing. Infinite possibilities. Where will you make the difference?

Trained on personal servers using the game's tracks. Optimized towards competitiveness with a touch of drama.

• All racing is real - nothing is scripted. The drivers are powered by machine learning. Naturally observe the craziest of overtakes and the hardest of crashes

• All drivers are equally skilled. No one to blame but yourself... well, mostly. How will you take the win?

• Every race is unique. Experience different race lengths, dynamic weather conditions and random upgrades

• Highly customizable. Apply race modifiers, draw your own liveries and build your own tracks. Custom content can be shared via the Steam Workshop!

Many pit stops are planned. However, anything can happen during a race, and it usually does!

• Plan strategic pit stops. Manage your pit stops and utilize 7 different tire compounds to optimize your race. Will you pit early, or risk a puncture?

• Qualify for the grid. Set your fastest lap against the clock in an optional qualifying session. Squeeze in one more lap, or call it in?

• Many tires to choose from. All compounds play a specific role in the race. Pick whether you need track position, better scaling or raw speed

• "Rock-paper-scissors"-like gameplay. Each tire compound works better against another. Outsmart the grid directly or play the long game

Risky upgrades can make or break your race. Do you dare take that risk?

• To pick or not to pick? Fully max out an upgrade on the spot, at the risk of an engine failure that forces you into the pits. Will you take the gamble?

• Safety Car action. Crashes bring out the Safety Car and bunch up the whole field. Races can change dramatically based on what others do

• Extend with modifiers. Rather see more or fewer risks? Enable modifiers like "Shared Card Seed" or increase the Weather Transition slider for your ideal level of action!

Will it stay dry, or do we pit?

• Navigate the weather. Experience dynamic weather changes throughout the race. Can we risk one more lap?

• Race unique cars. From all kinds of Formula cars, to Supercars, Stock cars, and all the way to modern Endurance cars. Face new challenges in different race dynamics across many car types

• Mix it up in multi-class races. Put several car types on the same track, each fighting for their own positions, points and podium. All car types can participate at the same time if you'd like... I won't judge!
