Asphalt: Urban GT, the first game in the series, was released for the Nintendo DS and N-Gage in 2004 alongside simplified J2ME versions for mobile phones. Incarnations of the game for various other platforms soon followed, the latest in the main series being Asphalt 9: Legends released in 2018; a number of spinoffs were also released, such as the endless runner Asphalt Overdrive, Asphalt Nitro, a minimal version of Asphalt for low-end devices with procedural generation as a selling point, Asphalt Xtreme, an off-road-centric entry into the series, and the drag racing game Asphalt Street Storm.


The series puts emphasis on fast-paced, arcade-style street racing in the vein of Need for Speed, along with elements from other racing games such as Burnout; the spin-off game Asphalt Xtreme takes place in an off-road racing setting, with open-wheel buggies, sport-utility vehicles and rally cars in lieu of supercars as in previous games. Each game in the series puts players behind the wheel of licensed sports cars from various manufacturers, from entry-level models such as the Dodge Dart GT, to supercars like the Bugatti Veyron, and even concept cars such as Mercedes-Benz's Biome design study.[1]


A free-to-play spinoff entitled Asphalt Overdrive was released for iOS and Android in September 2014.[6] Unlike prior titles in the series, the game is presented as an "endless runner" similar to the Temple Run franchise and Subway Surfers, and does not offer a traditional racing mode. Overdrive was then followed by Asphalt Xtreme, which focuses on arcade-style off-road racing, and in 2016 with Asphalt: Street Storm, a rhythm-based drag racing game in the vein of NaturalMotion's CSR Racing. Street Storm was quietly released in the Philippines in December 2016 for iOS devices.[7] Asphalt 9: Legends was released worldwide in July 2018, for macOS in January 2020, and for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S on August 31, 2021.


I've had a chance to race my car on both asphalt and dirt. I am by no means a great driver and I'm sure I don't get my set-up's close a lot of the time. But in three years I have driven about 10 asphalt races and about 30 dirt races at tracks all over the state in my vintage mod.


There has been a lot of talk about T-Mac needing asphalt experience to have a shot at being succsesful in the Trucks or Busch. Personnaly, I think racers are racers and the good ones get it done on any surface or configuration. A lot of the folks on the board disagree.






Question - if you have actually raced on both surfaces as I think for example, "The Jet" has - what do you think? Which is tougher? I read an article about Lee Osborne (for you young-in's one of the best asphalt mod and sprint car drivers of the 60's - 80's). He said he thoguth that Daytona was the easiest track he ever drove and could have ate a sandwich going down the backstretch there if he wanted to. Anyway, from my limited experinence trying to handle a car on dry slick dirt track seemed a hell of a lot more challenging than running asphalt. Again - this is only coming from a novice so take it for what it's worth, but I'm curious what others think who have done it.


A driver with dirt experience will make for a better asphalt driver. My impression of the drivers that run just asphalt and have no dirt experience is that they are missing the car control skills. If their car gets a little sideways, they panic. Either they let it come all the way around, or they over react and wreck. A driver with dirt car control skills isn't phased at all when his car gets a little out of shape. He just counter steers and drives it out of trouble. I've actually seen instances where the asphalt-only drivers were so intimidated by getting loose that they wouldn't run over speedi-dri. They all went around or tip-toed through it. Well one of the former dirt drivers in the same race took full advantage by driving right through the slippery spot and passing to win the feature race.


As far as FUN goes, it also depends. A well prepared dirt track is a ball. But, sadly many of the dirt tracks are in such poor condition that asphalt would be more fun. The thing with asphalt is at least you know what to expect every time. Sure there are variations, but not nearly as extreme as in dirt racing. The best nights on dirt are better than the best nights on asphalt, but the worst nights on dirt are much worse than the worst nights on asphalt.


I can say that after running asphalt, I don't have as much tolerance of the dust and mud anymore. Also, the equipment stays much nicer on the pavement (and that goes for everything from the helmet to the trailer and tools and tow rig).


Track size and layout are a big factor too. Like everyone says that the asphalt killed Flemington. Well when it was dirt they drove each corner separately like a square. When they paved, the quickest way around was to run the place almost like a circle. It completely changed the strategies and the way races played out. A better configuration for asphalt is a paper clip. Long straights, but tight turns that require a lot of braking and maneuvering in the turns which leads to more passing (like Martinville). Nose-to-tail racing is no fun for the drivers or the fans. And it's not like you'd ever see that on a slicked over dust bowl of a dirt track!??!


In conclusion, I don't really know which I like better. I lean towards asphalt, but the tie breaker really is in the fact that there is less work to do to the car and equipment each week. Unfortunately, we're in dirt country so there aren't too many choices anyway.


Kenny Schrader sent Carl Edwards to dirt to learn how to really drive a car, his performance on asphalt this year proves it's a great way to learn how to really drive a race car...asphalt will force you learn how to set one up perfectly.


Just keep in mind that of all the asphalt tracks, the Catskill Mtn (previously White Lake or Kauneonga) track is run the most like a dirt track. Bigger asphalt tracks or short but with sweeping turns need to be driven much differently. You can go to Catskill with a dirt set up and dirt driving skills and do pretty well because of the configuration and size of the track. Nobody would ever try backing a car into the corner at Stafford or Oswego.


The World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing is nine nights of door-to-door action on one of the fastest half-mile asphalt short tracks in the United States. Super Late Models, Tour-type Modifieds, Pro Late Models, Florida Modifieds, and much more will all be in competition throughout the entire event!


The World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing consists of nine straight nights of racing at New Smyrna Speedway, one of the fastest half-mile race tracks in the world. First held in 1968, this year's event is being. billed as the 57th Annual World Series of Asphalt Stock Car Racing.


Throughout the nine nights of racing, storylines evolve and drama is all but guaranteed as drivers in some divisions are tested with seven nights of racing during a nine-day stretch. For the majority of drivers, this will be the most they'll race in such a time span all season long.


On the Super Late Model side of things, two-time champion Derek Griffith will be joined by the likes of this year's Red Eye 100 winner Casey Roderick, 2021 All American 400 winner Matt Craig and William Sawalich, one of the hottest drivers in Late Model racing one year ago. NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver Stewart Friesen will also be racing a Super Late Model on February 13 and February 14.


The Asphalt 9 Legends Arcade DX 5D Simulator is the ultimate premium attraction for racing fans, yet still accessible for all ages and abilities. Unlock and get behind the wheel of a Lamborghini, Porsche, McLaren or any one of the 20 supercars inside the game and race through multiple routes based on real-world locations. The DX Driving Simulator is unparalleled and a true premium attraction that will allow you to charge a premium price per play.


The 7" inch asphalt treaded tire is a very economical setup for small to medium sized asphalt tracks. It offers great traction with increased tread life.

So decided to dive head-first into on road asphalt racing and have absolutely no clue what I'm doing. I've been racing solid axle monsters for a few years now, but the local hobby shop started on-road asphalt every other Sunday and after going over to watch last week I think I'm hooked, looks like so much fun!


Club (TT02R) - Not many rules in this class, basically a novice class. Motor limit is 12t, but I'm going to run a Reedy 15t for now with a bit of timing. Car is built stock from the kit and not really planning on any other modifications for now. Most guys are running stock TT02s, Fazers, Redcats, etc. in this class so I'd rather upgrade as necessary than go all out at first. Any tips for setting up the TT02 would be nice, no clue what I'm doing with on-road stuff. I did remove the rear 3 degree uprights a while back because I didnt like how they looked, would it be in my best interest to put them back on for racing? As far as tires, it seemed like the guys running stock Tamiys slicks were OK, but the Tamiya road tires were awful so will probably just stick with the stock slicks for now.
