In addition to the full Career Mode from TOCA Race Driver 2, you can play Trans-World Cup mode in the PSP title. This is for shorter races for those who want to have a quick gaming session.

The game has 50 available cars for you to choose from.

So, finally we can play one of the most exciting racing games in PSP now. I wonder why it took so long for it to cross over to PSP. It is surely going to bring some real freshness in and with the new features for the PSP version of Race Driver series, it seems like it's going to be a killer.
