Synetic GmbH

Synetic GmbH was a German video game company specialising in racing games. The company was founded in 1996, in Gütersloh by five former members of Ascaron. All five original members were still working for the company until the company was liquidated on 6 May 2014. Although the company with its team of eight employees was rather small and its games are virtually unknown outside of Germany, their titles are among the most popular racing games in Germany and are consistently among Germany's best-selling games.
