Up to five of you, on the same circuit, in about a minute from now. No download, no launcher, no accounts, and nothing for anybody to install on a work laptop.
Create a room nowThat is the whole procedure. There is no friend request to accept before you can race, no party system to fight with, and no lobby queue to wait in — the room exists because you made it, and it is gone when you all leave.
This matters more with friends than with strangers, because with friends you will hear about it. Your browser never tells the server where your car is — the only thing it sends is which keys you are holding. The server runs the physics for all five cars and tells everyone the result.
So a speed hack or a skipped lap is not something Sliplap detects after the fact. It is something the protocol has no way to say. The same simulation runs in your browser at the same instant, which is what keeps the steering responsive rather than laggy while the server stays the authority.
| Circuit | Length | Race | Good for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sunset Mile | 2.20 km | 4 laps · ~1:54 | A group where somebody has never played. Wide, forgiving, and everyone finishes. |
| Highwood | 7.00 km | 2 laps · ~3:24 | The default. Long enough to slipstream, short enough to rematch immediately. |
| Albion | 5.89 km | 2 laps · ~3:05 | A group that has raced before and wants punishing. Mistakes are expensive here. |
| Crown Harbour | 3.55 km | 2 laps · ~2:24 | A group that has raced before and wants punishing. Mistakes are expensive here. |
| Freight Yard | 0.98 km | 5 laps · ~2:25 | A group that has raced before and wants punishing. Mistakes are expensive here. |
| The Comb | 0.85 km | 6 laps · ~2:36 | A group that has raced before and wants punishing. Mistakes are expensive here. |
| Skydeck | 1.31 km | 4 laps · ~2:35 | A group that has raced before and wants punishing. Mistakes are expensive here. |
| Undercroft | 0.92 km | 6 laps · ~2:38 | A group that has raced before and wants punishing. Mistakes are expensive here. |
Start on the beginner circuit if anyone is new. Losing by thirty seconds on lap one is how people quit.
A room can fill its empty places with AI drivers, and they are not cheating either — a bot is a player without a keyboard. It holds a slot and a grid box like anybody else and produces the same four inputs a person does, through the same physics. There is no bot rubber-banding and no lap-time table: they are quick because they brake late and use the road. Difficulty runs from a driver you can beat on your first evening to one you probably cannot.
They spectate until the next race rather than being dropped onto a live circuit at 300 km/h. When the race ends they are on the grid with everyone else.
Sign in and you get a friends list, and with it two things that work across time zones: challenges — set a lap time and dare someone to beat it, and they are told when they do — and ghosts, where their recorded lap drives beside you on the circuit. Losing to a friend who is asleep is a specific kind of motivating.
Five. It is a deliberate number: five cars on a hand-built circuit is a real race, and it is small enough that every one of you matters to the result.
No. The game and every circuit are free, forever. There is an optional $3 Premium — racing your friends' ghosts, challenges and a badge — that changes nothing about the car; see the terms.
Usually. It is a normal website over HTTPS with a websocket. If websockets are blocked entirely, nothing will get through — that is a network policy question rather than a game one.
Yes, and you should — Discord in one window, Sliplap in the other. There is also text chat in the game itself.
