There is a lot of potential in this game, but damn... sadly too many issues.

The cars drive like a boat, very clunky. Unrefined driving physics. Repairing feels very unintuitive, imagine playing Car Mechanic Simulators with no helpers and a pair of boxing gloves on your hands.
My car was not driving because the clutch was not engaging, reason was a carburettor with 60% durability? Does not seem too bad to me...

If you are into fixing cars... get Car Mechanic Simulator.
If you are into modifying your cars with simple building... get Jalopy.
If you want a hardcore summer simulator in which you can build and modify your car... get My Summer Car
If you want to design your own car but not be able to drive it... get Automation



Or stick to Street Legal Redline Racing. Thats pretty much the same game, but plays much better. The graphics even look the same.


Maybe i rebuy it, when the game got a couple of updates and improved all in all.

The car handling is fine in this game. Better than in many games.

Maybe it's the changes in the game (some of which have been specifically for driving physics) since reviews like this one. Maybe it's because the cheap starter car doesn't (and shouldn't) handle well and that's probably the only car someone with half an hour's experience of the game will have tried.

Parts and setup have a large effect on handling (as they should). Tire type, size, wear and pressure. Suspension. Vehicle weight. Steering. Differential. Power. Power curve. They all affect handling. It's simpler than a simulator and more complex than an arcade game, like the rest of this game. You'll probably end up with at least 3 racing cars (offroad, track, drag) because switching cars is easier than changing components to move from one track to another track of the same type.

The driving physics had been updated/modified/tweaked at least three times since your review.
Maybe it's time to give it one more chance?

hey guys, I have around an hour put in the game and I understand what he's saying with the way the car handling feels.
But this is my first car, I didn't upgrade it, I only tried the Backyard track, and I will definitely put some more hours in it before judging.
This review is, in fact, not to take into account if you're interested in this game. Because of the reasons very well explained by InfinityzeN.

If the cars driving physics suck within the first minutes and if the game feels just unintuitive, why would i play more than that? Be a realist, not a defender ;)

the driving physics are still crap , stop the nutt hugging infinityzen

Are you really trying to defend having less than an hour in a game that you refunded 3.5 years ago with "in the first hours"? You don't have hours. Heck, you don't even have an hour.

Did you actually build a car from scratch in the game, trying combinations of varies parts to change its performance characteristics?

Did you engage in a few street races?

Did you go to any of the race tracks throughout the varies zones in the game?

Did you go back to scratch building a car for a single purpose such as drag racing on the 1/4 mile drag strip or the high speed oval track?

The answer to all of those will be no, because you do not have enough time in the game to do any of them if you put any effort into it. Meaning your review is deceptive and has no relation on the product in its current form or in fact in any form it has had for the last few years.

@InfinityzeN How does playtime matter if the game is not good in the first hours. Sure some things have changed since then, but i did play it a year ago, and it didnt feel like much improved.
Problem was, even at that time, that it was marketed as a complete product, not EA.

Why is this even still a valid review on the game? Reviewer has less than an hour playing it, from a build over three and a half years ago on a game still undergoing active development.

shut the fuck up nut huggers , have you kids ever driven a car? the cars are infact like boats.

"The cars drive like a boat" have you ever even driven a 70's muscle car with stock suspension? On top of that you can add sport/racing coilovers to get rid of all that bodyroll
