In parallel to these scenes, the narrative arc builds on the glamour and all of its trimmings that is associated with high-end motor sport and the player's increasingly high profile career. Many of the scenes are dedicated to showcasing the various cars and motor sports available in the game. To this end, there will be a lot more information divulged in the scenes pertaining to both the cars the player will drive and how to get the best out of them on the track. In this game, we are focusing a lot more on both the aspirational and technical elements of motor sport. TOCA Race Driver 3 will continue the story-driven precedent established by the previous titles. You've kept the cinematic narrative element for the game's World Tour mode, by the sound of it - how will the approach this time vary from what we've come to expect? What we want to do with TOCA Race Driver 3 is to provide an accessible sim that everyone can enjoy, but with enough depth to keep the more hardcore sim fan happy. Trying to strike a balance with just one main mode has always been difficult, especially as console and PC gamers have different views on what constitutes a race sim or more casual racing experience. The TOCA series has always done this to some extent, but TOCA Race Driver 3 will take this to its natural conclusion - we have two main modes that cater to two different player types. Why did you decide to do this? Do you see TOCA as attracting two specifics but separate sets of fans? TOCA 3 seems to split things down the centre between simulation and arcade. Speaking to Eurogamer, studio head Gavin Raeburn outlines the team's plans, and also spares a little time for our cheeky questions about next generation versions of the game and the difficulties in producing a PlayStation Portable version. With TOCA Race Driver 3, the British team aims to expand the game's focus in both areas, work more with the story mode and the nitty gritty of the simulation side, include more online options and shift the technology into another gear. After a promising start, the last few years has seen TOCA Race Driver emerge as one of Codemasters' most successful and critically acclaimed game series, not to mention one of the best of its class - and when you consider that it's shooting somewhere between arcade and simulation racing, genres that are hardly understocked as it is, that's no mean feat.
