I'd sum it up as Television show "Top Gear" meets "Gran Turismo".. Game has an accurate driving feel, coupled with a profile building experience.. Your accelerated to drive on & improve your ranking. Earning Cash quickly & testing out a wide variety of Cars within your 1st day. Your not limited to only driving your garaged cars. There are plenty of Manufacture Races & other Time Trial Tests to hone your skills. One you begin to tune your cars to met track needs, you're really beginning to master the game. My favorite part is the Start of the race, the initial battle to get to the lead, avoiding drivers & spinning people out. You will quickly recognize rival drivers who give you a hard time on the track.
