About

Traction Control is a prototype downhill exploration racer where only some of the laws of physics apply. Pick your vehicle and drift, jump, flip, spin, roll, and boost through a series of time and point-based challenges to get to the top of the leaderboard. The game evokes early kart-racing games and will keep you thinking of the best way to get down the mountain to the finish line!
