    This game was my childhood. I spent a lot of time playing it and seeing you destroy it with valid criticism kind of broke my heart. A couple of notes: the first track in the list with the C class car is a pretty difficult track, however there are easier ones that actually allow you to make some money. Also you can switch your car into manual which adds a bit more skill, because the automatic shifting is painfully slow. I think your game was glitched when it wouldn't save, because I never had that issue. It would just autosave after every race. I was able to get a fully maxed class A car in about 2 hours of playtime, so it's doable if you get good at the game. Good video though, just thought I would defend my precious game a little bit haha

    WildTangent app was great for me as an 8 yr old with the only thing to play with being a HP PC. I ran through a ton of adventure point&click games, you were allowed to play them for a couple hours before it asked you to buy them but i 200 IQd that by speedruning them. Early 2000's PC demos were cool, faster internet speeds and digital platforms like Steam&GOG eliminated the need for demos.

    When I was 8, my mom's computer software hadn't been updated to Windows 11 in a long time, so all I would do is play Final Drive Nitro. It was such a mess but I couldn't stop playing it because of my boredom. I only had 3 WildTangent coins to use so everytime I closed the game, I felt like I was ending a relationship lmao

    Seriously they should make another game like this. Need For Speed, but set in a futuristic city with futuristic but otherwise realistic cars. Cars, not hover things like in Wipeout. And with, like, proper racing mechanics and physics, not pure arcade like Xenon Racer.

What a poorly made game it was.. no wonder why I forgot about it lol.

    @@Zynderion117 if you dig throughout the files of the game, you will find something like career.*** (I don’t remember the file extension), and you can change the number of bots by just copying and pasting the line of code for the bot until you get up to 40, where it will start to crash. You change the physics of the car by going to another file that I don’t remember off the top of my head and adjusting the values there. They are in a folder for each different car.

    I have a few questions for you. First of all, did you play in on wild tangent? Also were you able to play this on windows 10 and did you have any issues starting it? Because I trying installing it and it would either give me an error or I would be able to install it but it would never open the game. Did you have any of these problems?

    there is infact a different game in the "final drive" series, i dont know if its a sequel or a prequel, but i would say its worse, it has 3 cars and 1 track to play on, it uses the same engine and the track is pretty mediocre, i actually think its reused from this game (or this game took it from that)
