Those who know me know that not only am I a huge fan of gaming, I’m also a huge fan of anything automotive related. I’ve been known to tinker with a few cars here and there in my prime but these days, children keep me busy. However, that doesn’t mean I still don’t stay up to date with what’s going on in the automotive field.

One of the genres of gaming I really enjoy playing is the racing genre due to my love of cars. Racing games are an easy way to indulge in my love of cars so I try to check out all the ones that look interesting. RPM: Gymkhana Racing caught my eye. Gymkhana was made popular by Ken Block with his highly popular Gymkhana promotional videos. This game probably has nothing to do with him but the fun and excitement of Gymkhana seem to be present in this game. It’s over-the-top drifting action with insane cars, tracks, and objectives. Think of it as a mashup between your traditional drift events, with a dash of old school Tony Hawk Pro Skater games.
