NIGHT FORMULA

NIGHT FORMULA

Formula machines, a city at night, and not a single accelerator pedal.

NIGHT FORMULA is a portrait-mode racer built for one thumb. You don't manage throttle — the car cruises to whatever its current gear will give. 

What you do manage is everything a driver actually thinks about at speed: where to place the car, when to shift, when to brake, and how to keep a temperamental machine from cooking itself.

Two things decide your race

Driving. Corners don't take themselves. Come off the line and the car runs wide — onto the kerbs, into the wall — and that costs you speed and bodywork. Pick the right gear or you'll bog down; grab too tall a gear and the revs fall out from under you.

Tuning. Between the wheel and the track sits a live setup panel — tyre pressures, boost, suspension balance, fuel, oil temp. Dial in grip and you carve corners; wind the boost up for straight-line speed and you're playing chicken with the oil temperature. Push too far and the engine lets go. It's a constant trade-off, and it's half the game.

Also in the box

• Real-circuit-inspired layouts (Barcelona, Silverstone, COTA…) plus a wide-open oval to learn on

• Time-costed pit stops — hold the pit line to refuel, swap tyres and repair damage, but every second in the lane is a second lost
• A neon vector-scan look and a fully procedural engine note that rises with revs, drops on the upshift and screams near the limiter — no audio files, it's all synthesised live
• AI rivals, live positions, and a co-driver radio calling out what's ahead
• Unlockable secrets — tyre brands, steering feel, engine tunes and more, earned through score and progress
• A shareable password that carries your setup and progress, so a great tune can travel between players
• Plays right in the browser — desktop or mobile
