What this mod does
Speed Island is an island in the Pacific Ocean built around a figure-eight circuit made for flat-out speed. The main layout runs past small towns, logistics hubs and a city, with other areas spread around it for different kinds of driving.
What’s included
- A high-speed figure eight with a one-lap time trial and a pit area that refuels you when you pull up to the pumps.
- A rally route with its own time trial.
- An arena for monster trucks and demolition derbies, with two bowls of different sizes.
- A drag strip with a start light and a timer.
- Traffic lights and crosswalks: AI traffic should stop at traffic lights and stop signs.
- Automatic day and night lighting.
Tips
The AI races (speed, rally, dirt and drag, with up to nine cars) are installed through a separate subscription. The cars parked at the arena jump only show up if you spawn traffic nearby. If it runs slowly, the author suggests deleting the auto_lights group in the World Editor.
Release notes
This is the author’s first map, and version 3.0 from September 11, 2026 fixes materials so it works properly again; he asks players to report any odd color changes on the terrain. The reviews, from older versions, mention FPS drops and the occasional floating object.
