It's a neat idea, but the camera needs a little tweaking - currently, it doesn't track well if you turn and drive TOWARDS where the camera is and it takes a long time to center back behind your vehicle. Not being able to see increases the chance of getting crushed, and being launched into default gray hell.
There's also no kill plane so you just sort of get caught in limbo. I didn't see a menu either to restart, so I needed to refresh the browser.
All in all, I'm interested to see where this goes, as it could be really fun. Love going fast and drifting into things.
