Il bravissimo modder "Gecki", attivo sui titoli F1 di Codemasters e molto apprezzato sopratutto per il rilascio del F1 Ultimate career 1998-2007 mod per F1 2020, ha annunciato oggi che entro inizio Aprile sarà disponibile la versione alpha del suo nuovo titolo Formula Circus, sviluppato utilizzando il motore Unreal Engine.
Formula Circus permetterà ai giocatori di gareggiare in più stagioni di Gran Premio, includendo anche quello che si vive fuori dalla pista, con "la politica del paddock che influenzerà le gare in pista", come ha spiegato lo stesso Gecki. Come dettagliato qui di seguito, la versione alpha del gioco conterrà solo due vetture e tre circuiti, ma saranno funzionanti già tante caratteristiche specifiche, sia in pista che fuori, come per esempio la possibilità di giocare i primi 7 giorni della modalità carriera.
QuoteOfficial Alpha Announcement Here are some key details about the Alpha. The Alpha is planned to launch via my Patreon at the end of March or early April (current target date is March 30). It will serve as our first opportunity to evaluate how different aspects of the game are received, secure initial funding, develop the handling together with the community, and identify bugs in the core concept. Please note that the Alpha is still very unfinished, as it is a development build - do not expect anything close to a final game. The Alpha is not optimized for keyboard controls, but it can still be used. Controller support is available, but without force feedback. Currently supported steering wheels:
- Moza (With FFB)
- Logitech (With FFB)
- Thrustmaster T300 (without FFB)
- Other wheels may work, but this cannot be guaranteed.
Please note that the Alpha will not receive updates. Also be aware that if the server hosting the Alpha is overloaded, you may not be able to download it for 1–7 days, even if you already have the download link. The Alpha will not include a racing line, ABS, or traction control.

Additionally, do not expect active support during the Alpha, unlike with previous mod releases. Active support will only begin during the beta testing phase and with the Early Access release. As I’ll be fully occupied with game development and management tasks over the next five months, I won’t be able to process refunds for Patreon who encounters issues with the Alpha. That’s the nature of an Alpha build. However, each Patreon that is part of the alpha includes a key for the full game once Early Access releases.
