This is how it should be done. An enjoyable little racer with smooth graphics, fast cars and a gorgeous drifting mechanic all for less than a dollar. There's a career mode, wi-fi multiplayer and even a real-world track in the shape of Ferrari's own Fiorano.

The controls could be better, with a fiddly on-screen wheel, although tap and tilt control are also available. When you do get the hang of it, it's a joy to play. Honestly, it's worth the asking price to sustain a loooong drift around a sweeping curve, leaving thick black tyre tracks in your wake. Check it out.
