All the car models have been expertly recreated from data collected on real cars from all over the world, that allows players to feel realistic features, such as the heaviness of the wheel, the engine activity, and air resistance on the car's body. Namco took special care to preserve each car's characteristics, down to the finest details. Exciting features such as the Interactive Driver AI System and in-game radio communications bring players closer to racing action than ever before! In Racing Life, two tough racers, Rena Hayami and Gina Cavalli play out their fierce rivalry in a series of breathless races. Their fast-paced story heats up, as other determined racers appear to challenge their track supremacy.

Five years and four sequels later, the series retur...
