Nice 3d but you need to work at controls. in expert mode you release the acceleration and drift, I change the direction and I stilll drift without control even spinning. So control is the soft point.

Hi guys, thanks for the comments.
Ralfo, once you learn how to drift, it definitely does help, in fact it's the aim of the game. It enables the car to turn faster and sharper. To see some decent drifting in action, check out my recorded replay from the controls menu :)
Frtmeeeee - When not drifting, the grip is around 95%, the car has almost no sideways movement at all. The cars also have significant weight - if you release accelerate, the cars roll down hills etc as they should, and lose power uphill.
Obviously the handling is very stylised, as it's an arcade style racer - it's not meant to be realistic. The main inspirations are Ridge Racer and Initial D.
Proj and ozdy, thanks - the 3D engine took a huge amount of work to get this performance ;)
PS - The game is best played in Firefox, the camera is handled better in FF.
Cheers,
RumbleSushi.

The graphics are decent but too many flaws. The car doesnt feel like it has any weight or grip whatsoever its like driving a paper car on a sheet of glass and the camera angles often hide the entire road from view, especially when going downhill.

Technically a real gem, fast and fluid. I makes me think, that this intensive game runs superb on my old notebook, even if the rendering quality get reduced automatically, but a lot of other new flash stuff, where there is only simple 2D rendering, just lags like hell. Still i don't like this game to much either, courses are to curvy and narrow, most of the time just bumping from one edge to the other. sliding doesn't help at all.2/5
