The driving gets better on mars, the first vids driving is pretty terrible.

One of the things that' made me less excited about sparrow racing is how easy sparrows are to control. It's not exactly a high skill vehicle to drive. They did some nice things with their track design (Which seems not to be directly from the game, but custom?) The boost/gates system looks like a great addition.

There's some physicality and interactions that seem lacking though. Sparrows dont react when slamming into each other or the walls. The effect is disconcerting (and frankly a missed opportunity).

I'm looking forward to this though, the sense of speed looks great, and it seems like a fairly casual way to lock down high level gear.
