Speed Dreams is a Motorsport Simulator featuring high-quality 3D graphics and an accurate physics engine, all targeting maximum realism. Initially forked from TORCS, it has now reached a clearly higher realism level in visual and physics simulation, thanks to its active development team and growing community.

It is also intended for any research, study or teaching activity, around physics and AI, thanks to its GPL V2+ license, and the clear and modular architecture of its C/C++ code base.

Maximising that support is a priority, however. Please note: unless otherwise stated, EE Keeper will be archived in Zip format and uploaded. Please note, any support ticket that is created should be watched in case any extra information is needed. If you do not plan to keep and eye on your ticket and you have an account on the official Baldur's Gate forum, please be sure to provide your user name with the ticket in case any further information is required. -
