It's not often we get new racing games for the Commodore Vic-20, but searching through the itch io website earlier today, we've found out that Huffelduff has released the Commodore Vic-20 game of 'Formula V20 1985'. A new game in that the developer says is a nod to classic Commodore 64 games such as Pitstop II and Pole position.. In light of this news as ever we've got some new footage of this arcade racer which can be found below.
And here's the latest from the itch io page. "Formula V20 '85 is a racing computer game for the 24k expanded Commodore Vic-20. It has been crafted in the style of the classic Commodore 64 games Pitstop II and Pole position. Pick from seven different racing teams and four different circuits.

Looks somehow promising! Worth for a C64 conversion as well!
