Port Azur 3D Game Info

What is the Goal of the Game?

Port Azur is a fictional seaside street circuit: a tight 3.3 km lap that climbs away from the harbour, crosses a square at the top of the hill, drops through a hairpin, dives into a tunnel and chicanes back onto the quay. You race it from inside your helmet, at the wheel of a single-seater. In Feature Race you fight seven AI rivals for the best finishing position you can get; in Time Trial you chase your own ghost; in Overtake Challenge you pass as many cars as possible before the clock runs out. The walls are close — Port Azur does not forgive.

How to Play?

Pick a mode and lap count in the menu, then hit LIGHTS OUT. Throttle is W or Up, brake and reverse are S or Down, and you steer with A/D or the left/right arrows. The gearbox is automatic by default — shifting up with Shift or down with Ctrl switches to manual, and M puts it back. Handbrake is Space. Press C to cycle cameras (helmet → T-cam → chase → TV), R to get back on track if you bury it in a barrier, G for the ghost car and H for the HUD. P or ESC pauses. Steering lock falls away with speed: at 300 km/h you only get a few degrees, exactly as in the real thing. Brake before you turn in — downforce grip climbs with the square of speed, so there is very little of it when you are slow.
