Love playing SuperTuxKart. I love the ability to change game files to make it my own experience. I love the ability to download custom content through the form of Addons.

I was curious to know if anyone has made some type of 'Remaster' of the game, in a newer engine like Godot (No proprietary stuff like Unity or UE), maybe with higher resolution textures or better lighting?

Edit: Apparently, I didn't have my graphic settings set to max. After setting them to max, I am amazed. The difference it makes is incredible! Especially on Black Forest, it looks almost like a modern game (without the negative parts)!

I doubt it, seeing as it looks like it's still being actively developed. I'd expect anyone who wanted to have higher resolution textures or whatever to just add an option for that to the main game.

EDIT: It does look like they have abut 500 "addon" tracks, and I suppose that some of those might have higher-resolution textures than the tracks in the base game.

EDIT2: Also, it's not SuperTuxKart, but you're looking for more-realistic open source racing graphics and haven't seen it, there's TORCS. That might do what you want.

EDIT3: Also Speed Dreams:

EDIT4: It doesn't look like you can sort the add-on tracks on the website by size, but you can sort by upload date, and I'd assume that newer tracks are probably more likely to have higher-resolution textures.
