If I can't do hilariously long drifts with 360 spinc in it around multiple corners and maintain my speed, it doesn't have Ridge Racer in it.

Hell on some RR's you ACCELERATE while 360 no scope 10km drifting.

Did they really not provide a link to the subject game?

I loved the idea of Auto Modellista, but sadly couldn't get into it because I found the races lacking... something...

But I'm also a huge fan of Ridge Racer, so if they can deliver fun RR style racing with the awesome AM style aesthetics, I think I'll be happy to pick this one up.

If it gives a nice progressive career mode and fast-paced online (or even split screen) multiplayer, that'd be all I need ❤

Yeah, Auto Modellista is a beautiful looking game, but the AI is pretty bad and the driving physics (especially in the NA release) are not very good.

Isn't this by the same guy who made Art of Rally? Either way, it's going into my wishlist.
