The game is Classic Sport Driving, it's a very competitive racing game, directly inspired from classics from the 90s (Lotus Turbo Challenge and JaguarXJ220 were my favorites). Windows version: https://steam.classicsportdriving.net/
Linux native beta test:
https://classicsportdriving.net/res/A7267C58-5C94-4917-B82B-51D4BFDC6C40/ClassicSportDrivingLinuxBeta2024.07.18.7z
If you wanna help, simply extract the archive, and run Classic Sport Driving.x86_64.
(it's not mandatory, but you may want to have Steam running when starting the game, to avoid having to create an account to play online)
The recommended hardware is: Ryzen (or equivalent, or better), GTX1060 (or equivalent, or better), 8GB+ ram.
Feedback is welcomed here, or by DM on our Twitter (@cSportDriving).
Thanks a lot!😊
Sylvain (from France).

Tested with Kubuntu Linux 5.15 i76700K GTX970 32G Ram M2SSD
Graphics are nice and crisp and driving feels a lot like the classics, for better or worse. I like it. Well done and thank you for doing a native Linux release.
(You got me with Jaguar XJ220. Played the crap out of it on my Amiga 500.)
I don't know what those mean, but I have a Framework 13" AMD 7 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics and it plays *fine*. At least as well as /Art of Rally/ for instance.
There is a small graphical corruption at the bottom of the screen, in menus, that looks like a left over strip of road, but other than that, no offline single player issues so far.
Except. Wow. It's hard. The first race has a nitro boost that doesn't expire till after a tight turn, just before the first checkpoint, for instance.

Thanks for trying. Your GPU is about on par with mine, so that does not explain your issue.
Which driver do you use? Open source or Nvidia?
Thanks for the feedback!
Please not that I'm *considering* a native Linux release.
As of now, I'm a bit scared, as it seems that like half the PCs have issues (also from other sources), while the Proton solution works great... Which is a bit sad, of course...😥
Thanks for the feedback!👍Could you screenshot the menu display issue?
Yes it is (by design) a demanding game...😉

and this is after playing a level (made it to two checkpoints this time !)
That's... Well, sorry, at least until now, unsupported... ;)
Launching the game from Steam (and therefore using Steam-provided libraries) seems to solve the issue. At least on one computer...
May I DM you a Steam key, to check if that works better?
(to others: of course if you don't face those lags, you may still ask me for a key... ;) )
