In the PlayStation version, an offer exists between arcade and simulation, the latter being divided into two physics variants.[1] In arcade, the physics are more lenient as the turning is made easier, while slamming into other vehicles doesn't inflict any damage.[1] As the player passes each opponent, a specific number of points is received. The game rewards clean takeovers with more points.[1] All tracks are slowly unlocked through separate difficulty sets.[1] Once the race is decided to be played, a Free Session can be opened for testing the setup. A new mode, School, aims to teach the positioning and braking/acceleration points on any track available.[9] It has a horizontal bar with a middle vertical line, and the closer the car gets to the braking point, the yellow bar begins to fill more. When it hits the line, it will change to red.[1]
Development
The team of 12 people developed the game in Revenge engine, whose creation took about a year.
