World of Speed was a racing session based game, wich developement was started by Slightly mad studios (http://www.slightlymadstudios.com/) and then by Allods Team (Mail.ru games https://wos.mail.ru/)
Now the project is closed, maybe it will be sold to some other studio, maybe not. It was a nice game and our players really loved it, unfortunately our company executives decided that it will not bring enough money, so there is no point in finish the development.
Some of UI's and features are not finished, we didn't had enough time. Our team did enormous work: new UI, new UI technology (1st AAA project with CoherentUI as UI engine, so its all in HTML+JS+CSS), new resource system, and many other cutting edge technologies. Very sad, that we can't finish this project, but it was great experience anyways.
