Product Information

Exhaust drifts across the asphalt as engines roar and tyres scream their impatience against the red-hot surface. Sunlight sparks off the bodywork of the touring cars drawing up to the grid and on the track ahead, heat shimmers transform the raceway into treacherous pools of quicksilver. As a car pulls into the number three position on the grid, the crowd explodes. Ryan McKane, the meteoric newcomer who s taking the ToCA Touring Car circuit by storm, leans from his window to acknowledge his adoring fans. Not yet World Champion, but far from the unknown test driver of just a few short months ago, Ryan s career has its foot hard on the gas pedal, powering towards the chequered flag. It s going to take all your courage, all your skill and all your driving passion to take Ryan from rookie to a world-beating race driver, in this first-of-its-kind cinematic thrill-ride of a game. Power slide around the opposition, face your challenges head-on, cheer the successes and mourn the losses, but above all of these WIN. One driver.. One World... One Champion Ryan McKane, a test driver with gasoline running in his veins, spends his life struggling against his father s disappointment, while his brother s phenomenal racetrack success overshadows every minor victory he achieves. When his father perishes in an octane-fuelled blaze of fire on the asphalt that he loved, Ryan s frustrated ambition galvanizes into a unrelenting determination to triumph over all opposition and become first a ToCA Race Driver, then maybe even World Champion. Petrolheads and mass market gamers alike slam the pedal to the metal to guide the actions of our hero through the hairpins and chicanes of a career in global racing.
