How to play D1 Professional Drift Grand Prix Series on Mac
Game summary
D1 Grand Prix recreates the exhilarating art of drifting, including all the cars, tracks, drivers and physics that has made the D1 Grand Prix the pinnacle series in drift racing. Players will be able to select from 39 American and Japanese drivers, as well as vehicles from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Subaru, Pontiac, and more.
In Japan, this is the second D1 Professional Drift Grand Prix Series game (short: D1 Grand Prix). Updated D1 Grand Prix data from the 2005 racing season is included, as are new cars and new courses, including more than ten technical courses. Also features GT Force and GT Force Pro wheel support.
For American gamers (this being the first of the series here), the game has been kept close to the Japanese original (including all the real pro Japanese drivers). A tutorial mode is added to teach players the unique demands of professional drift racing, and the game's brutal commentator team has been redone with snide English-language voices.
