GA: Need For Speed: Shift Review

GA writes: "The first hairpin on Laguna Seca is always a test - in just twenty seconds you instantly sort the noobs from the vets as the noobs plough through the corner into the sand trap at high speed. As I sprint out of last place in my Lancer EVO X I watch two rookie drivers do exactly that - I'm heavy on the brakes as I come down the first hill, probably a little too heavy I realise as my rear kicks out. I swing out hard to the right before I correct myself and punch the accelerator."
