![]() ![]() To me that seemed like a street racing thing, and I've long thought street racers have lost their way, by concentrating on the girls AROUND the cars, and some kind of bad boy nightlife, rather than focusing on the cars and tracks themselves.īut a welcome carryover from street racing, is the rewind feature from their last game, Racedriver GRID. ![]() Yeah and it's just goodnatured banter but they shouldn't have bothered with it.
