About this course
In this course you build a 3D arcade racing game with power-ups, similar to Blur, from scratch — and add features the original never had: visual tuning, a shop for cars and parts, and an Arena mode. Module 1 is the car and the garage. We write a modular, interface-based controller following SOLID principles: drivetrain, drifting and countersteering, an automatic gearbox with real gear ratios, engine sound, a speedometer and tachometer, a Cinemachine 3 camera, and controls through the Input System. Then comes a garage with an orbit camera, swappable body kits and paint, JSON saves, a shop, map selection and async scene loading. Module 2 is Blur-style power-ups: a homing missile, nitro, a mine, a shield, lightning, a shock, a repair kit and a pulse. The architecture is built on interfaces, strategies, ScriptableObjects and a factory, with a three-slot queue, health and damage, and an Object Pool. Module 3 is the race itself: waypoint bots that also fire power-ups, a minimap without a second camera, checkpoints and laps, a leaderboard, a countdown start and a finish with rewards, an Arena mode with ramming damage, the Audio Mixer, and polish all the way to a finished build. You write all the C# code yourself and we explain every decision. You finish with a complete game for your portfolio and an architecture you can reuse in your own projects.
What you will learn
Write a modular, interface-based car controller following SOLID principles
Tune car physics: Wheel Collider, drivetrain, drifting, countersteering and an automatic gearbox
Build a Cinemachine 3 camera and controls with the Input System
Build a garage with tuning, paint, a shop and JSON saves
Design a power-up system: strategies, ScriptableObjects, a factory and an Object Pool
Create bots that follow waypoints and use power-ups
Make a minimap, checkpoints, laps, a leaderboard, and a race start and finish
Work with sound through the Audio Mixer and take the game to a finished build
Prerequisites
Windows or macOS computer
A PC or laptop that runs Unity 6 comfortably with a 3D URP project.
Unity Hub and Unity 6
Free. The author uses Unity 6000.0.45 and explains what to do on older versions.
Code editor
Visual Studio or Rider — we write all the C# code together during the lessons.
Car, track and effect assets
Mostly free from the Asset Store and Sketchfab. A few packs (the second car, some effects) are paid — you can replace them with your own.
Basic C# and Unity
You should know the basics: classes, methods, components and the Inspector. Advanced topics — interfaces, SOLID, coroutines — are covered in detail.

After purchaseFAQ
I'm a complete beginner. Is this for me?
You need C# and Unity basics: classes, methods, components, the Inspector. Harder topics like interfaces, SOLID and coroutines are explained in detail. Try the free lessons to check yourself.
What computer do I need?
A Windows or macOS PC or laptop that runs Unity 6 with a 3D URP project comfortably.
Which Unity version is used?
The author uses Unity 6000.0.45 and explains what to do if your version is older.
What will the game have?
A car with drifting and an automatic gearbox, a garage with tuning and paint, a shop, Blur-style power-ups, bots that fight back, a minimap and an Arena mode.
What if I get stuck?
Every lesson has a questions section where the author and other students answer. The author's code and files are attached to the lessons, so you can compare them with your project.
Do I need to buy anything?
Unity and the code editor are free, and most assets are free from the Asset Store and Sketchfab. A few packs (the second car, some effects) are paid; you can replace them with your own.
