A Crash Team Racing unofficial PC port is currently in the works, and its development has been confirmed to be 70% complete in a new video shared online a few days back.
The PC Port Progress Update #3 video, which can be watched below, showcases all the latest improvements made to the port in the past two months, including proper 16:9 and 60 FPS support, both unavailable in the original PlayStation release, working UI in the Adventure Garage, implemented ghosts in Time Trial and fixes VS and Battle modes.
Releasing this unofficial Crash Team Racing PC port will only be the beginning for the development team, as it plans to shift to content expansion after launch. Alongside introducing custom levels, the team plans to introduce online multiplayer, which would be huge for a racing game like this.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled doesn’t break any new ground, but the 20-year-old game at the heart of the package holds up well and Beenox has done a commendable job of updating it for the 21st century.
