TRIVIA

Released in May 2012.

"2012" in the game's title isn't the 2012th installment in the series, but a reference to the game's release year. It was the 2nd (and the last installment), although advertisements in some of the other games published by Kongregate refer the game to as "Formula Racer 2" possibly due to limited space.

Races in Formula Racer 2012 show telemetry data with position (cyan line), top speed (cobalt-blue line), boost (white line) and lateral G (emerald-green line).

This time no courses are deformed to look like any original track.

The speed is measured in a mile per hour, but it's not shown directly. See a detail in achievement "bat out of hell" saying "reach a speed of 268 mph".

TIPS AND TRICKS

* Choose the tires according to the weather: dry tires are for dry weather and wet for rain.
* Save cash up as the entrance both for next races in the race class (and the class itself) is paid.
* The boost increases slowly during driving, but it'll be filled faster when braking.
* Don't hit any opponent: you'll not only lose speed, but also boost, time and your position will be lower.
* The engine, handling and boost are now adjusted with 3 bars. One element affects 2 other.
