Get your international squirrel racing team to the top in this exciting race management sim. Run your up-tree urban training facility, build up your team, equip and train them. Then it’s off to the racetracks in their private jet. From jungles to futuristic cities and streets to deserts, the squirrels face a barrage of opponents.

Watch the race progress from above with live-generated race commentary and, as team manager, dive in with mini-game boosts and power-ups when it’s time to overtake. Spend your winnings wisely. But watch out - squirrels are unpredictable and love the high life.

We ramped up the financial elements by adding a whole banking system - use it to get rich or wreak havoc!
