What was it?

Sunset City Racers was a game that had its beginnings dating all the way back to late 2007. It was created by a studio called Vector Entertainment with the hopes of becoming a leader in social online games for kids. It was an achievement based game where players would be encouraged to design their own cars and participate in various races across 13 cities. Each city was a level of different sizes comprised of different characteristics and each having its own unique flavor. The game was primarily funded by a venture capital fund and would later be abruptly be shut down in December 2010.

I remember this... it was the place where I made my first steps on the English-speaking Internet, and it’s the place where I first used the nickname “Catbird”... it holds a special place in my heart, can’t believe it’s been 10 years. - Catbird 2 2020

I haven't played this game since January 2011 (when it was taken down so you had to pay to play). Now you can't play at all. Club Penguin is just a stupid version of this. I really want this game back. :( - Adeetard 2016
