❤ Comprehensive Car Customization

Players can fully disassemble and rebuild their vehicles, selecting from a wide variety of compatible engine parts, suspension components, transmissions, and more. This allows for an extraordinary level of control and optimization, as players can fine-tune their cars to suit their driving style and racing needs. Players can swap out even small parts like pistons and camshafts, giving them a true "mechanic simulator" experience as they strive to extract maximum performance from their creations.

❤ Diverse Racing Disciplines

In addition to traditional circuit racing, the game offers players drag racing events, drifting challenges, and even demolition derbies. This breadth of content ensures that players have ample opportunities to test their tuning skills and driving abilities across different racing disciplines. The open-world setting also allows for illicit "street racing" at night, adding an element of risk and reward to the gameplay.

❤ Nonlinear Progression

Rather than following a rigid progression system, the game gives players the freedom to build and race whichever cars they choose. Players can start with an affordable economy car and gradually work their way up to more powerful and prestigious vehicles, or they can choose to skip ahead and build a high-performance racer from the start. This nonlinear approach allows for a sense of player agency and encourages experimentation with different vehicle builds.

❤ Realistic Damage Modeling

When players crash their cars, the level of damage is reflected in the vehicle's appearance and performance. Engines can be blown, body panels can be destroyed, and even the chassis can be compromised. This adds a layer of consequence to the gameplay, as players must carefully balance their pursuit of speed with the risk of catastrophic failure.

❤ Community and Modding Support

Despite its age, the game enjoys an active and dedicated community of players and modders. The game's open-ended nature and depth of customization have inspired a wealth of user-created content, from graphical enhancements to entirely new vehicles and gameplay modes. This vibrant modding scene extends the game's longevity and allows players to tailor their experience to their specific preferences.
