RARS consists of a Robot Auto Racing Simulator.
The Robot Auto Racing Simulator (RARS) consists of a simulation of the physics of cars racing on a track, a graphic display of the race, and a separate control program (robot "driver") for each car.
The goal of the game is to implement such a control program in order to compete against other programmers. An official formula one season is held every year.
All RARS software and activities are free and open to the public. Currently only Windows and Unix versions are actively supported, but some old DOS and OS/2 code exists and it should be possible to get it back to work.
