ATLAS MOTOR CLUB // FIELD NOTE
FOLLOW THE QUIET.
WINDTRACE is an original browser mountain drive game about reading changing surfaces and the movement of the car on quiet mountain roads. Planning, implementation, vehicle dynamics, UI, and testing are by rin0420.

Contents
The game includes 36 cars with different drivetrains and characteristics, four routes across gravel, tarmac, and snow, per-car SETUP options, best ghosts, split deltas, and medal targets.
Finding a faster line
Brake sufficiently before a corner, then accelerate once the car is pointing toward the exit. If the car begins to slide, easing the input and waiting for the tires to regain grip is usually faster than making a large correction.
Comfort
During play, the camera limits large background movement and keeps the area around the car easy to read. The game also supports short screens, touch controls, and the OS reduced-motion setting.
Updates
Vehicle dynamics, UI, accessibility, and performance will continue to improve after release. The change history and source code are available on GitHub.
