The interface, the handling and the wildly varied car choice are all seemingly taken straight from DiRT, which it has to be said, is no bad thing.
You compete, as ever these days, for "Rep" - reputation points from wins. These points add up to unlock higher licences in each of the game's three regions - Europe, Japan and the USA - with high point tallies unlocking tougher groups of races. And it's hard enough to begin with, as even the first tier of events at Rookie level on Basic difficulty had us cursing at the screen."
