Formula 1 started the season with Norris’ victory at the Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, so we have a new game at New Star GP, the latest entry from New Star Games. The game is a mix of arcade-style racing, strategic management, and nostalgic visuals. The game lets you start in the 1980s and progress through decades of racing history, culminating in modern-day F1.
New Star GP comes with pixel-retro aesthetics, a nice soundtrack reminiscent of 1990s racing games, a pick-up-and-play simplicity and deep racing mechanics. Players must master tire wear, pit strategies, fuel management, and even weather changes to stay ahead of the competition. Whether you’re fine-tuning your car or outmaneuvering opponents on the track, every decision counts.
The game features a variety of race types, including Grand Prix events, time trials, eliminations, and rival races. As you advance through different eras, you’ll unlock car upgrades, team perks, and legendary tracks from around the world. The smooth animations and progression system make for a satisfying experience without feeling overly grindy.
New Star GP also comes with controller support, giving players full control over their racing experience. While the free-to-play model includes occasional ads, they remain minimal and unobtrusive, making the game enjoyable without feeling disrupted. The game is available on Apple App Store, Google Play Store and Steam, if you want it on PC.
