Backseat Champions has a pretty clever idea, bringing the worlds of auto-battlers and roguelites to racing games with you managing an AI driver. You’re not quite literally in the backseat but close enough.

The game will feature races that are basically a short burst around the track, that’s hopefully good for people who don’t have a lot of time. The developer says it will allow you to “quickly hop in and get straight to the action” across real races, with “nothing scripted” where each race is different. You can play alone, or with friends too. During the race you pick various random upgrades, in the hope of making the fastest car to win. Not just that but you’ll be able to manipulate the car in a few other ways too, and you’ll also be dealing with dynamic weather.
