Re: 2008 Game- Overdrive

"And now for something completely different..."

should have been the lead in to the introduction. The GDC has caused a bit of a paradigm shift for teams this year... which is a good thing. No longer is pushing power going to be a factor in design... but cornering ability will be.

We're switching from building tanks to building hot rods this year, people!

This kind of change is good as it keeps teams from doing too much pre-season preparation. While pre-season prep is good, I can pretty much guarantee that every team is re-evaluating their pre-season drivetrain plans from the ground up and we are all starting from scratch today.

Way to go GDC... this looks like another winner.
