Designer’s note
Early 3D racers faked depth with a stack of road slices and a lot of nerve, and we did the same on purpose. The drift ribbon turns a risk into a number you can watch growing, and banking it is the whole game. Every run is recorded as a short ghost code, so a friend can race the line you drove.
