You guys really have to check this game out. Its tons of fun and its very easy to pick up for anyone. Its from the people who made the Trackmania series and its sponsored and made for eSports, there's also a lot of Nvidia sponsoring with it.

Here's some screenshots to get an idea of the game:

Also, the game is heavily sponsored by Nvidia, but it will run on ATi graphics cards to very well. There's just Nvidia banners in the game here and there and nothing that's going to annoy you. The games looks just as good as the screenshots and runs very well on my system.

been trying to play this but it needs some way of knowing the map beforehand. seeing as every server has different courses and you only have like 5 or 6 minutes to finish it, its damn hard. its rare that i actually finish a course and usually the ones i do finish are the ones that are more straight forward. ie: dont have a million different ways to go. interesting idea, just needs some more work imo.

this game seems to be more of a puzzle solving type game, not the driving type it looked to be to me. i'd rather the latter

Play some of the tracks solo, that's almost more fun to me than going online. I like beating my best times over and over.
