After speaking to its designers, it’s easy to tell Circuit Superstars was born from a place of passion. The developer, Original Fire Games, is composed of just six people–three of whom are siblings who grew up around not only video games, but motorsport. To put it simply, Circuit Superstars is a top-down racing game with arcade visuals, but with more realistic driving physics, and an additional attention to detail only true motorsport fans would probably think of.
I spoke to Carolina, Alberto, and Carlos Mastretta, the siblings behind Circuit Superstars, as I played an early-build. They emphasized their goal is to capture the essence of motorsport with Circuit Superstars, and bring the aspects of the sport they particularly enjoy to others through their game.
