I really like how much control you seem to have during drifting. Cars don't just become a slippery mess. Lately I've been playing Grid 2, which has a bunch of point-to-point races too. It's interesting how much more enjoyable the tracks seem to be in this game, driving is almost relaxing. Grid 2's p2p races are stressful and often frustrating with the way the tracks are laid out. That game also made me realize that Evolution made a good decision in not making them too long here, and of course the game letting you know the difficulty of each curve beforehand with the color-coded banners is greatly appreciated.
Never even realised the colour coded banner thing. Was too busy looking at the gorgeous scenery and cars. Nice touch.
