Project Racing 66 (working title)

Project Racing 66 (working title) is an open-world racing game developed by original studio AHP96 in collaboration and supervision by Genki Studios, known best for Shutokou Battle series. It is developed for PC, PS4, and Xbox One consoles.

Set in the wide open-world of United States, the game focuses on the culture of motorsporting, leading the game appeal on various disciplines and terrains on map, and vehicle focus on automobiles and motorcycles. Players can participate in various illegal street races, legal sanctioned pro races either on racetracks or part of a city, or non-tarmac off-road races.

Gameplay
The game targets for the accessibility for newcomers while keeping mastery for the more skilled players, leading to a blend of simulation and arcade handling system similar to Racedriver Grid. Tuning will be present in order for racers to fine-tune their vehicle.

Players can free roam, viewing the landscapes while at the random times encounter another racer for a challenge. Players can check various events on map or discipline-related in a similar manner to Gran Turismo series.

The races are checkpoint-based in similar vein to Midnight Club, Test Drive Unlimited or GTA for some events.

Police cars are also visible when roaming, giving a pursuit to anyone (including traffic cars) who does illegal actions if it's on Police's line of sight.

The vehicles will be customizable in visual and performance aspects. In addition, the legal-road version of the vehicles can be upgraded to specialized homologations such as Performance, Drag, Drift, GT, Rally, Rally Raid, Rallycross, and much more. These specialization effect 3 main types of racing disciplines: Street Racing, Professional Racing, and Off-Road.
