Formula Evolution 2024 is a free-to-play MMO racing game developed solo by Petr Šimůnek, currently in Early Access since June 3, 2024. The most recent update on record is from August 27, 2025, meaning the developer was actively posting updates as recently as 13 months ago. Across the period from launch through August 2025, the developer maintained a steady stream of posts — 17 feature patches and 22 bug fixes among 48 total news posts — covering engine upgrades (Unity 2022 to Unity 6 in November 2024), new premium vehicles, graphics reworks, multiplayer improvements, and performance optimizations. The store description outlines significant long-term ambitions: the developer intends to integrate Ph.D. research on procedurally generated terrains and aspires to "capture 150 years of racing in a game one day." The game currently covers 70 years of formula history with 40 vehicles, indicating substantial room to grow toward that stated goal. The developer also launched a companion game, Sidecar Evolution 2024, in August 2024, demonstrating continued creative output across the studio. The historical update cadence has been roughly one update per one to two months. The gap since the last post (August 27, 2025 to October 1, 2026) is approximately 13 months, which exceeds the established update interval — however, this is an Early Access game with clearly stated long-term goals, and no statement of completion or development conclusion has been made. The developer has not signaled any intent to wind down development.

About this game
I have been creating this game since high school and have worked hard through my studies at Charles University in Prague. My aim for this year is to carry over my Ph.D. research about procedurally generated terrains into my game. I aim to capture 150 years of racing in a game one day.
Formula Evolution is a multiplayer racing game that uses principles similar to those of World of Tanks. With each race against 39 other players, you gain experience and credits, for which you can buy various upgrades for your vehicle or unlock newer vehicles. You start with machines from the 1900s. Can you get to the very top and ride on modern machinery?
Controls are simplified enough to give you still the passion of riding but not too complex to take you hours to learn. It mainly focuses on providing players with the best enjoyment from racing fights. The game's core is short, dynamic races with a high action density. The feeling from the ride is very reminiscent of older games; do not expect a hardcore simulator. On the other hand, it's not a mario kart racing game - there are physics, and you need to keep that in mind.
- 40 formulas from 70 years of history
- 40 real and custom tracks
- 1000+ various vehicle setups
- 30+ vehicle patterns, each customizable
- 10 different biomes
Using a simple yet rich customization system, you can customize your vehicle and rider as much as you want. For example, you can paint your motorbikes with any combination of colors or use any of the available patterns to customize them!
The game is based on custom cloud-saving technology. As part of that, it contains many classic MMO features like cloud save, leaderboards, daily missions, achievements, and stats! Compare yourself to other racers!
