But the Polish Racing Championship won’t be the only reason to be there. For the first time, you’ll be able to play an early build of Track Day: From Street to Circuit. First Drive. First Laps. First Players Behind the WheelUntil now, Track Day has mostly been something you’ve seen through screenshots and development updates. On September 19, that changes.For the first time, you’ll be able to play Track Day for yourself. The game is still in development, so the build available at the event won’t represent the final version.

Teams in the paddock. Final preparations be…
- Dev log #8: Sound, MAXI & The Road To Testing - 4 August 2026
Hello, racers! Track Day: From Street to Circuit is coming together — and in this Dev Log we’re taking you behind the scenes of three important parts of development: sound, MAXI, and player testing. All of it brings us one step closer to the racing experience we’re building.Capturing The Sound Of Racing A car is not just a set of numbers. It’s the response of the engine. Rising revs. The mechanical details that tell you what is happening behind the wheel. For Track Day, we want every car to have its own character. That’s why we went out with microphones and captured real car sounds directly from the source. Engine response. Exhaust. Mechanical sounds. These recordings are becoming the foundation of our audio work — helping us create a driving experience where sound is not just something you hear, but something that connects you with the car.Meet MAXI Small car. Big attitude. MAXI is bui…

- Dev log #6: preparing for first tests of Track Day & car interiors - 5 June 2026
Hello, players! We're back with another Track Day development report. Before we show you what we've accomplished over the past few weeks, we need to mention something more important...TESTINGIf you're with us on Discord, you've probably already seen that we've started preparing to put the game into the hands of selected players as part of our first, very early tests. These tests will be limited to a small, closed group of participants. We haven't yet decided when they will begin, so keep an eye on our Discord server to make sure you don't miss the launch of the (limited) sign-ups!DiscordCAR INTERIORS Moving on to development progress — while the physics continues to evolve, we're also refining the new car we showcased previously: the Polvo. Having completed the exterior bodywork, we've proceeded to fill the interior. You may have noticed in the screenshots from the previous dev log that…
- Dev log #5: production report - 22 April 2026
Hello, players!We’re kicking off a new, more regular series of dev logs where we’re going to follow the rule: "less talk, more show" ;) Here’s what our team has been working on over the last few weeks.The Career Mode menu is evolving. The concept art we showed last year is transforming into a functional interface complete with music. Of course, everything you see (and hear) here is still a work in progress (for example, we’re still transforming the right riverbank), but we’re dying to get your feedback. How do you like it? :) We’re also working on a new car model that will be used for various "fun" experiments… though maybe not so fun for the car itself. We’ve named it Polvo. Can you guess which car inspired it? There’s a chance no one outside of Poland will know the answer… unless you’re familiar with the work of a certain Jeremy Clarkson, who once treated this Polish icon quite brutal…
- Engines On. Track Day Enters Full Production. - 23 February 2026
Hello, Players,There are moments when you stop talking about dreams and start turning them into reality. That moment has arrived for Track Day. Officially, we are entering full production.A year ago, we said it clearly: to do this right, we needed real partners — people who bring technology, experience, and true racing DNA. Today, we can finally say it: we’ve got them.New Name, Same FireOur team has a new identity — welcome to Apex7 Studios.New identity. New energy. Bigger ambition. One clear goal — to create the most authentic racing game we’d want to play for hours. No shortcuts. No pretending. Just racing.Technology from Real MotorsportJoining the project is ECUMASTER — a company that started in gaming before making its mark on the automotive world. Today, their solutions power race cars and tuning projects across the globe. Now they’re returning to game development, bringing knowled…
- Merry Christmas from the Track Day team and a little sneak peek - 23 December 2025
We spent the autumn working quietly on various cool things. It’s still too early to show them all off... but we didn't want to leave you without a gift for the holidays ;) Please accept our warmest wishes for Christmas and the New Year - and take a look at selected assets we are using to build one of the maps you’ll get to drive on in the game: Tor Poznań.(As a reminder: we design the racetracks in Track Day as open maps, where players have access to every nook and cranny inside the facility, beyond just the main track. This creates a space where you can have fun in many different ways, also many creative routes can be set up there for amateur autocross-style competition.)Once again, all the best and see you again in 2026!
- Dev log #4: Let’s talk about Career Mode pt.2 - 16 October 2025
Hello, players!We’ve seen your reactions to our previous dev diary and we’re honestly blown away by the interest Track Day is generating. Thank you! As we mentioned before, Career Mode is a vast topic - we could go on about it for ages... so we’ve decided to do just that and talk about it some more.We’d like to clarify a few things you’ve raised in your comments and articles.Car RepairsLet’s be very clear: we are not making a car mechanic simulator, nor a survival-style “live with your car” simulator. Players will not be manually fixing their vehicles, unscrewing bolts, or disassembling individual components.There will be no first-person walking in the game. All vehicle maintenance will be handled in a classic, streamlined UI - simple, fast, and convenient. And importantly, we’re making sure not to overdo it with too many windows. In other words, we don’t want micro-management to take t…
- Dev log #3: Let's talk about the career mode - 17 September 2025
Hello, players!Today, we’re diving into a key aspect of our game — one that sets it apart from all other racing sims on the market: Career Mode.It’s a huge topic, and we won’t cover every detail today — there’s enough here for several dedicated articles. For now, we want to give you a general overview of what gameplay in this mode will look like. Let’s start with a look at the main menu of Career Mode (keep in mind: this is a concept art, so the final version will look different):Buy, modify, repair… and hunt for bargainsYour journey begins at the Used Car Dealership, where you’ll pick your starter car. You’ll be coming back here regularly as the offer changes frequently and features randomly generated vehicles: each car will come with its own unique set of parts (bodywork, engine, chassis, interior, etc.), and of course, you’ll need to deal with various defects: from a dented fender, t…
- Dev log #2: Let’s talk about cars - 23 July 2025
As we mentioned recently, it's time to talk about the game itself again, rather than the events where we promote it (although, coincidentally, you'll find us again this upcoming weekend at Tor Poznań during the Polish Racing Car Championships).Today, we're going to discuss a fundamental matter: cars. After all, that's why we're here, right? During conversations with players, we often hear questions not only about which models will be in the game (it's still too early to provide a specific list), but also whether we'll even have licensed vehicles. This is a very interesting topic — and not as obvious as it might seem.While the final decision on this matter has not yet been made, at this moment we are leaning towards using unlicensed cars in the game. Two main factors are driving this decision: money (duh!) and creative freedom. The first is self-explanatory: car manufacturers charge a fe…
- We’re launching Patreon with Tor Poznań 2025 - 4 July 2025
Hello, players! After packing up our stand at Tor Poznań, where the Drive Squad racing team hosted us last weekend during the Polish Car Racing Championships (WSMP in Polish), we've returned home with renewed motivation and a strong resolve to take the next step in the development of Track Day. For two days, we offered an updated version of the Tor Poznań track for testing (on a sim rig provided by Sim-Center) and spoke with dozens of people – professional racing drivers from Poland and the Czech Republic, simracers, and motorsport enthusiasts – all of whom expressed keen interest in what we're creating. That's why today we've launched Patreon. Anyone who wishes can support us choosing one of the available tiers, and all funds raised will be allocated to the production of Track Day. This will allow us to maintain independence and complete creative control over this unique project, which…

Entering the track during WSMP costs 20 PLN (less than $5) and…
- Track Day was at WSMP on Tor Poznań! - 15 May 2025
Hello, players! The last weekend was very busy for us, as we participated in the first round of Polish Car Racing Championship 2025 (WSMP for short in Polish) on Tor Poznań were we met with fans and potential partners in a special atmosphere, presenting the vision for our game (also via the radio on the track, speaking with our legendary commentator Bogdan Wolny). Thanks to the hospitality of the Drive Squad race team, we were able to witness this special event from the heart of the paddock. We had a tent near the garage no. 14, decorated by flags and banners of our friends: Drive Squad, Youngtimer Party (a part of the Automobile Club of Geater Poland) and Sim-Center. The latter entertained our guests with a sim rig, allowing everyone to drive on Tor Poznań. Krzysztof Szymikowski, our leader and the creator of the mod with Tor Poznań for Assetto Corsa, prepared something special for thi…
- Track Day at WSMP on Tor Poznan! - 5 May 2025
Hello, players! We’re back after a short break with some exciting news about Track Day. In the last couple of weeks we were busy looking for partners who would help us make our vision real - and today we’d like to share that we’re making a significant step forward. On May 9-11, the first round of Polish Car Racing Championship 2025 (WSMP for short in Polish) will be held at Tor Poznan - and Track Day is coming there too! Thanks to our partners from Drive Squad racing team and Sim-Center from Poznan, players will be able to taste a teaser of sorts, using a high-end simulator to witness events we’re aiming to have in Track Day. If you happen to be in Poland at that time, please come visit us in Tor Poznan’s paddock on May 10!
- Polish tracks: Autodrom Słomczyn - 20 February 2025
Hello, players! It's been more than two weeks since we officially announced Track Day, and we're seeing constant growth of interest with the game around the globe. We’d like to thank Overtake.gg and all other media outlets for covering our project, as well as players for wishlisting it! To celebrate this ongoing success we decided to publish another… Well, this time it’s not exactly a dev log. We’d like to use this space to promote Polish tracks which aren’t lucky enough to be featured in “international” racing games (apart from mods). It’s part of the reason why we’re creating Track Day. So today we’re introducing to you the Autodrom Słomczyn. Located near Poland's capital city of Warsaw and created in 1994, Słomczyn is a relatively small circuit (the main course for karts has 1,2 km) but it comes with multiple layouts and sees lots of action. It hosts FIA CEZ rallycross events, kart r…
- Dev Log #1: The heart of Tor Poznań - 10 February 2025
Hello, players! We're overwhelmed with your warm reception of Track Day, and we're very grateful for it! Thank you! While we’re getting ready to show you more footage from the game, we'd like to give you a glimpse of our preparations for creating tracks for Track Day. The first location to be released with the future demo version of Track Day will be Tor Poznań. It's the biggest and most renowned race track in Poland, opened in the 1970s and destined for hosting F1 races (which, sadly, never happened). While we already have the main layouts of Tor Poznań (full course and karting track) ready, we still need to fill it with highly detailed areas inside the track. These will be used for exploring, test driving, and racing, naturally. Technical roads and squares are perfect for creating a wide range of technical point-to-point routes for fierce amateur competition. Below you can see some of…
- An introduction to Track Day - 5 February 2025
Welcome, dear players! Welcome to Track Day! Who are you and what is this? We're a small, independent development team from Poland. We love cars and racing, and while we conceived this project fairly recently, we've been actually preparing to create Track Day for years. We did so by releasing mods for Assetto Corsa (like Tor Poznan , created by the leader of our team, Krzysztof “Szymik” Szymikowski), participating in track days or kart racing, and simply by playing and studying racing games. We felt more and more tired with creative stagnation in our beloved genre in recent years, and we finally decided to do something about it. We wanted to take a new approach to driving cars, upgrading them and living the life of a race driver who aims to reach the top. Sure, it's a theme you've seen in hundreds of games, but this time it will be different. You'll be driving different cars on differen…
