Summary

Racing Academy is a massively multiplayer car racing and vehicle engineering simulation which allows students to engineer and race realistic virtual models of cars. Online facilities allow teams and communities to collaborate and compete on the web. Racing Academy is already available as a prototype aimed at Key Stage 4 students, but this project has been established to develop an edition for use in Further Education (FE) and Higher Education (HE).
