New Star GP looks like it could be a lot of fun for motorsport fans! It just released on March 7th after a period in Early Access, and it is Steam Deck Verified.
If you love racing games that aren't too serious, this could be one for you with a great low-poly style to it like some classics. You know what this reminds me of? Going to the arcade a lot when younger, seems like it gives off that same sort of feel.
"NEW STAR GP is the arcade racing game where every decision counts - on and off the track! You take control of your own motorsport team, guide your team’s technological development, plan your race strategy, take the wheel, and drive to victory! With a simple but deep gameplay experience and appealing retro visuals, NEW STAR GP puts you in the driving seat for every twist and turn as you manage and race your team through decades of racing, from the 1980s all the way to the present day!"
Direct Link
Lots of different race types including GPs, Elimination Races, Time Trials, Checkpoint Races, and one-on-one Rival Races and then you've got car upgrades, staff perks to deal with and much more. It's quite a feature-filled game.
Something else that's great about it that we really don't see enough of in racing games is split-screen multiplayer, good for a laugh when you've got a few friends over. And since it's Steam Deck Verified, you can take it on the go to show off. No ProtonDB reports for it yet, but it should work just fine on Desktop Linux with Proton since it's Deck Verified.
Available from the Steam store.

We've come a long way since this:
The gameplay posted here doesn't do it much justice though, so I invite people to check out the videos and screenshots they put on Steam.
