That is a very good price!
No doubt I'll be getting it. I know the guys have worked at tweaking every aspect for the game and have truly been listening to what the audience wanted. They have struggled to achieve everything due to time constraints and resources but they have done a mighty fine job thus far. Plus the amount of content they have managed to get in the game in the short period of time is very impressive.
From the very little amount I've played of it, it reminded me so much of the Toca games, maybe not a 1:1 but the feel, atmosphere and aggressive AI all brought back memories of the Toca days. The cars can slide but you don't want them to as it slows you down a fair amount.
