General concept

I have a dream of a racing game. This dream will most likely never become a reality, but why not spread the idea? The core consept is a wild, weird, actionfilled, politically incorrect and flexible racing game; A crossing of Need for Speed: Rivals, Mario Kart and Carmageddon.
And, yes, I know some elements may be controversial.

Gameplay

Weather Daytime and nighttime Based on Need for Speed Rivals / Hot pursuit When you crash, there will be absolutely NO instant replay, slow-mo, scenic / theatrical view or resetting. The camera view won't change during the crash. Light and light-ish impacts makes you loose some speed and get some damage. Medium impacts slows you down even more (maybe even to a stand still) and gives you more damage. Hard crashes makes you explode, fly for a distance or roll around. Your vehicle flyes or rolls, it will continue to do so intil it ends. Then you will be able to continue racing. If no wheels have contact with the ground for at least 5 seconds, your vehicle will be placed in the middle of the road. Replay
