Racer aims to be an interesting open source racing game, inspired by (but not a clone of) the F-Zero series.

Racer is distributed under the GNU General public licence, version 3 or later. The full text of the licence is in the file called Copying. It is also available on the web at http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.html.

Racer is currently in a pre-alpha state. This means it is lacking basic features and what does exist is probably full of nasty bugs. :-)
