En this new installment of Supertuxkart being its final stable version 0.9.3 we We found a great new function, which is to be able to record the game during the game. This new version brings with it several new tracks and features. Among the new track scenarios we find a track set in a farm; "Candela City", a night track in the European city; "Estadio Las dunas", a new stadium for battle mode.
