For true fans and connoisseurs of SpinTires, a hardcore map from the author of the maps "Lesozavodsk," "Primorye," "Front," and others.
Currently one of the most challenging maps. Created to show what a real SpinTires should be like! Gather your friends and test your skills!!! Solo play can take more than 30 hours on cheat monsters. In a friendly group, up to 7 hours.

The map features 10 sawmills, 3 loading points, 4 garages, 1 gas station, 4 vehicles at the start, with the rest scattered across the map. The difficulty of the map is not in deep mud or trial-like jumps over rocks, but in the gameplay itself. Sometimes you need to think about the choice of vehicle, its size, and trailer.

The archive contains two versions of the map, differing in difficulty.

Dear viewers and fans!
Only the best of the best had a chance to reach the finals of the Spintires championship in the TrophyStorm trophy raids! They went through a tough journey, knocking out one competitor after another. Neither swamps, nor dense forests, nor breakdowns, nor even rollovers and loss of precious points could stop them. These guys swept through the tournament table like an unstoppable wave, plunging their opponents into despair and trampling all their hopes into the mud, to the very bottom! And now they are ready to fight for the title of Champion!

The stream will take place at 21:00 (MSK) here https://youtu.be/KC7aErrHbJQ (Torhadd) and here https://youtu.be/mcyEgvYjD9M (Mr. BoS)

Races every day at 18:00 (MSK)

Friends, it has become reliably known that players with the nicknames Draconus and Templar GFX are actively working on weather conditions for the game SpinTires!
Here is what Draconus says:
"This is an amazing day, truly, my friends! I received a message on my Dev page from the legendary Templar GFX ... hes, the guy who has been making all the cool global stuff on Mods.db for many years, like the Better Dynamic Mud mod. He and I are teaming up and starting work on dynamic changing weather in SpinTires, since Templar GFX has a great idea to make this a reality... and he will be working on other things in SpinTires, as well as with the Unreal 4 project .... An incredibly talented person, just like me))) So, we will have fully dynamic rain, the ground, buildings, and vehicles will get wet. Light rain or downpours will alternate from time to time or stop for a while, and the new particle system can handle all kinds of weather, so it can rain, which suddenly changes to wet snow... as the work progresses, I will publish our achievements."

New video! Downpour



New video! Fading rain

Hello, friends!
We have some information for you about the future of the SpinTires world.
We managed to talk with Pavel Zagrebelny and ask him a few questions:

- Pavel, hello! There are many rumors online about the further development plans of the game (up to creating a second version of the game). We would like to hear the official version from you (it would be ideal if with details and screenshots) to share with our subscribers.
Pavel: Hi! Unfortunately, I can’t share any concrete news about the game yet. An announcement should be coming soon! The game is not abandoned! The process is ongoing! =)
- Well, alright. We never get tired of waiting!) Can you at least say whether it will be a separate game or an update to the current one? Who will be the publisher (if it’s new)?
Pavel: It will definitely be a new game, not a Steam update. There are just too many changes. Almost every detail has changed. For Steam copy owners, we’ll try to offer a discount. I can’t say who the publisher will be yet – I don’t know myself for sure.
- That’s understandable, so much time has passed. Many are already set on it being a new game and have long stopped believing the current one will be updated. It’s a pity you can’t share details. Maybe you can say when the announcement is planned? When is the release? Maybe a beta test?
Pavel: There won’t be a beta test, the announcement should be within a few weeks. The release will be within a couple of months =)
- An optimistic forecast! Let’s hope it all goes that way :) Will the new version be on Steam?
Pavel: Yes, on Steam
- Great! Since you can’t talk about the details of the new version, maybe you can share your opinion on the current state of the game? I mean what players and modders have achieved. For example, tracked vehicles, (pseudo) amphibious vehicles, etc. Did you expect it to get this far?
Pavel: I didn’t expect it. Well, it’s cool, a lot of interesting stuff has been done =) It’s just a pity that the game and engine themselves are a bit wonky. But in the future, I’ll try to make the new version more mod-friendly!
- You’d think it couldn’t get more mod-friendly, considering how much modders have already done :) As far as I remember, there was no official statement about the goals of releasing the game on the Mail.ru platform. Tell us why it was done and whether it brought the expected results? Will the new version be on a different engine?
Pavel: Still on the same one for now. The Mail.ru version didn’t bring the expected results =) ... The new one is not a sequel, more like a remake with improvements.

That’s all. Well then – we wait, wait, hope, and believe :)
Thank you for being with us!

The final race, where the three best drivers of the tournament will compete for the championship title! They have already proven their superiority more than once, but now they have to find out who will take the top step of the podium!

The race will start at 19:00 (MSK), don’t miss it!
