or the absolute opposite end of the spectrum where you almost seem to have a completely different physics engine for your drift. Traditionally developers do one of two things - go super-simmy and involve things most gamers don't understand, like clutch kicks.

"We're kind of battling against gamers' perceptions, particularly those who aren't that aware of what drift is in real life, of drift in videogames as being generally overwhelmingly poor. "I don't think it's all that controversial to say it: drift has not been done well in a videogame," he states. Specific cars with drifting set-ups are used - including many famous D1 vehicles - and they drift easily without using a different handling engine, which was a point of honour for Fulton.

The most striking new racing class is a fairly serious recreation of real-world drifting competition, with a simplified version of the scoring system used by the famous D1 championship series in Japan, that judges you on angle, speed and flair. Ridiculous next-gen detail #89: bunting flutters in the wake of passing cars. We hope they get it right, because it will have an enormous impact on the game's balance, and could quite easily make or break it.

Codemasters is still considering very carefully how to ration use of Flashback (indeed, whether to ration it at all). It's a one-button rewind (available only in single-player, naturally) that allows you to unspool your crash, similar to the Sands of Time in recent Prince of Persia games. Hence GRID's most radical and controversial feature: Flashback. "If you're going to do it, you have to do it properly, and I think that's probably a decision that a lot of people don't want to take."ĭamage can be deeply frustrating to the player though, as anyone who's crashed on the last lap of a Forza endurance race will know.

As is Codemasters racing tradition, there's full damage: "I wouldn't like to insinuate that others are too lazy to do it," says Fulton, who feels that licensing issues are too often used as an excuse. Races sport fields of between twelve and twenty cars - a good sign that the busy tracks we loved in TOCA will return - and a mixture of fictional and real-world racing teams to compete against, including a "boss" team who will be rivals throughout the game.

If you were worried about Race Driver losing its motorsport pedigree with its change of direction, you ought to be feeling a bit better now. It takes 24 minutes in the game, and is a chance for Codemasters to show off their lovely dynamic time-of-day changes. If that weren't enough, the terrifying Le Mans 24-hour race appears under official licence, as a special even at the end of each 'season' of your career. Europe, Milan aside, is all about real race tracks: Castle Donington, the brand-new Istanbul Park, Jarama (a little-known but wonderfully fast and sweeping Spanish circuit), the new F1 track at the Nurburgring (but not the Nordschleife, which is good, because we're almost bored of it now), and Belgium's mighty Spa-Francorchamps, which is the greatest race track in the world - fact.
