The "Global" License
One unique feature for the PSP version (missing on the PS2 counterpart) is the "Global Star" system. You are graded on braking, cornering, and consistency for every sector. It forces you to learn the tracks properly, not just floor the accelerator.
The Physics
- Simulation vs. Arcade: This is a simulation. Cars have weight transfer. If you brake too late and turn in simultaneously, you will lock up and slide off.
- Traction Control (TCS): The 2006 cars were high-revving V10/V8s. Without TCS, wheelspin is aggressive. For beginners, keep TCS on Medium or High. For a challenge, turn it off—it forces you to be gentle on the throttle.
- Braking: The game features realistic brake bias. If you lock the front tires, you lose steering ability.
