The series originally focused specifically on touring car racing, but after World Touring Cars, the series expanded to cover a wide variety of motorsport. Race Driver adds a storyline and career structure to the Codemasters touring car racing lineage. You are Ryan McKane, son of a fatally crashed racer and younger brother of a very successful racer. Guide Ryan to the top of closed-wheel racing. A wide roster of championships and cars are featured. You can race a Mercedes DTM silhouette car, a BTCC Peugeot, Australia's V8 Supercars, and more. Realistic circuits are included, although many have to be unlocked. The physics engine is realistic, and multiple camera angles are on offer.

The main coup of the PC version over the PS2, however, is that it that the on-track visuals have been given a massive overhaul. This is no example of cheap porting - the higher resolution that PC hardware affords is only the basis of a wealth of improvements in the engine: car models remain detailed regardless of distance; textures are sharp and beautifully rendered; convincing lighting and reflective effects bathe the cars and environment, even the tarmac, in realism; the employment of motion blur dramatically helps to enforce a sense of speed; and most importantly of all, there's a huge boost in framerate as the engine slings the action round at an occasionally frightening pace. It feels as if the game really has come into its own here, the racing becoming all the more compelling thanks to mere improvements in the engine.
