About BATracer
v4.080.730

BATracer is a browser webgame similar to some racing manager style webgames. However, it is unique in that gameplay centres around the player as the driver, rather than the team manager. This introduces multiplayer team work as an important part of success.

History

BATracer is now over 8 years old! And yet it is still one of the most detailed and fun racing web games available.

2007 - BATracer enters 2007 with over 40,000 players.
2006 - BATracer released to public as free-to-play webgame.
2005 - Development of BATracer v3 restarted, this time as a conversion on the existing platform and now numbered v4.
2004 - Attempt to restart development with a rewrite (BARracer v3) for another platform abandoned after it emerges the current code is now too complicated for this to be an easy task.
2003 - Game made available online, now known as BATracer v2. Over 1,000,000 hits in first week and several thousand users, but game dropped after web serving system proves unstable.
2002 - Game ported over to a separate platform for testing of a new web serving system. 90% new code.
2001 - Game in playable state, and to be named Jordan GP after an agreement with the Jordan F1 team. But Freeloader.com axed before game made public.
2000 - Initial concept developed for Pure Entertainment in London, UK on their Freeloader.com website.

Browsers

Internet Explorer		Designed in Internet Explorer, because it is still the most common browser.
Firefox		Works in Firefox!
Opera		Works in Opera, but if you have an older version you may need to change your slider bar settings to "Flash" via Edit-Account. Sadly, these sliders are inferior, slower and more clunky than the normal ones. The latest version of Opera should be fine.
Safari		Works in Safari!

Any problems please ensure you are using the latest version of either of the above browsers and your OS is up to date (e.g. XP SP2).

Free to play!

This game is free to play. Enjoy!
