It features an improved graphics engine (a common complaint was that even on the lowest setting the graphics couldn't be handled by low-spec PCs) from Colin McRae: Dirt, has over 40 real-life cars and a variety of both fictional and realistic interpretations of tracks.

The developers consequently introduced major modifications to the handling model and built a lean, race-first oriented design for this title.

It is available for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Linux, iOS, Android, and Nintendo Switch.

The game was developed under Fernando Alonso's consultation and employs a new AI system, called "Nemesis".

Opponents can be driven by up to 400 different AI profiles, each simulating different driving styles and behaviours.
