Hello community,
Weve just patched Cranks and Goggles to version 1.1 in order to fix some of the issues that surfaced since our last update.
As you may guess, the major issue was the "crash" which has upset many of you. We've stripped down the code to the last bit to find the cause, we found it and fixed it. Meanwhile, Unity launched several updates and caused us a lot of trouble, we almost had to rebuild the game from scratch (It might have been easier actually).
Long story short, the game is now stable. It's still not an arcade but is much more playable with new and improved controls.
If you encounter any crash related issues while playing please e-mail us hello [at] playnative .com
One more thing...
We will soon announce online racing events. But before that, please come and join us on our discord channel, meet other pilots around the world.

Racing quote of the day:
"I learned to approach racing like a game of billiards. If you bash the ball too hard, you get nowhere. As you handle the cue properly, you drive with more finesse."

Cranks & Goggles is a single player top down racing game set in late 1920' and early 1930's. Players can create their avatar and enter different races in England, Italy, France and more. By unlocking harder events, players will need to purchase and upgrade higher class cars to progress. We must say it looks much easier to drive these cars than it is. Each car has unique driving behaviour and handling difficulty, so it is a top down racing game with a simulation touch.
