Added some visuals to our map trave wagon to breath life into it. We might have to just go ahead and add a race or catch a trail level onto the list, this is fun!

Grab your Wii Fitt boards and steering wheel set ups, Summit Drive is a game for only expert cigarette fueled late night taxi drivers. Give it a go before it comes out soon 🚗
3000 people played Summit Drive's demo.
13 days left too until the release! Crazy!
