Still hard to tell how much of a simulation this game is from these gameplay movies, as the player didn't really push the car to its max potential through a few of those tighter bends in the Jarama race. Can't blame the guy for racing safe though, since this movie is really only for show.

I know there are people who will want to immediately call this game "arcade" right away after seeing the Yokohama movie, but this is pretty much how drift cars ride. It's controlling the drift and the countersteering that's the challenging part of racing in these cars which will tell how "sim" this game really is.

Anyway, the cockpit view shown in the Jarama race looks really good, but I would've loved to see this view in that Yokohama drift style points competition too. Would've been nice to see the environment from the driver's point of view while the car is going sideways doing all that drifting around corners. At any rate, the view out of the side and rearview mirror looks great.
