Short Oval Extreme is developed and published by Dangerous Derk Interactive. The game entered Early Access on 4 December 2025 and is currently available for Windows PC. There are no other released ports or alternate platform versions at this time, although the developers have mentioned the possibility of future expansions to other platforms.

The game simulates UK‑style short‑oval stock‑car racing, focusing on high-intensity, bumper‑to‑bumper action on tight tracks. It features recreated real-world UK circuits with both shale and tarmac surfaces, aiming for authenticity with accurate track layouts and surface characteristics. At launch, the available mode is hot-lap/practice, with a roster of real drivers and realistic physics that take into account weight, surface type, and vehicle handling. Dynamic weather and time-of-day effects add further challenge and immersion.

In promoting Short Oval Extreme, the developers emphasised the game’s authenticity and intensity. Marketing highlighted accurately recreated UK ovals, surface-specific driving mechanics, and support for controllers, with future plans for wheel and force-feedback integration. The Early Access launch was presented as an opportunity for the community to shape the game’s development, with feedback guiding the addition of more tracks, car formulas, multiplayer modes, and full season features.

As of its Early Access release, there are no official user reviews yet, but forum discussions and community chatter provide early insight. Enthusiasts of UK short-oval racing have expressed excitement about having a dedicated simulator, praising the realistic physics and track recreation. Others have noted that the current build is limited, with only hot-lap mode and a small selection of tracks available, emphasizing that it is a work in progress. Overall, the reception indicates strong interest from niche racing fans and cautious optimism for future updates.
