All the same characters from 2, is meant to be an alternate timeline from the start of 2 but it is a totally alternate history with all characters having major reworking.
Still all the endings pretty much the same with an actual ending for Komachi
The racing is old school and pretty easy from outside view, I didn't fail any races except when trying to see if any CG but just goes to restart or quit and end game. I actually had a bit of fun actually chasing times and was easy to lap opponents even though only 3 lap races. Has 4 courses broken into free (practice) Qualifying and race though point system makes no sense and qualifying pointless as always going to start from back of pack.
Again no animations but with different artist doing each character again the anime was worthy. I know genre say not much H scenes but there's 3 sex scenes for each character and multiple blow jobs and foreplay so is actually a decent amount of content and if you want to rush through races its pretty regular.
Asagari was again my favourite story line but Komachi was a nice addition but they did lose a lot of her quirkiness which was a shame,
Again I probably been a little harsh with this review because even though I like some of secondary characters I still despised main character (Rinka) and her entire storyline and still hated the Reiko ending. They did tone down Rinka's violence and emotional bullying but added a massive manipulative streak and way she tries to entrap and manipulate MC with body at start of game was nasty. And with only choices been to bend over or walk away there was no satisfactory pay back. An opportunity to flme the bitch would have been nice.
