Environments

Also, rc2 has the Helix track where there are lightnings in the spiral section.

Regarding environments I hope those are destructable. Remember well from Rollcage intro where Tony destroys building. Then add some terrain effects like icy road. What I disliked from Rollcage Stage 2 was tracks where you could drive yourself out of track into the space. So rather not to have this kind of environments/track design.

You should definitely be able to fall of the track. I mean if not, you would need to place everywhere invisible walls to prevent players from going out of bounds and that would be lame for a new game like grip.
The only question is how you let the cars respawn. (invincibility? starting speed? animation?)

I get it, but in every game there is thing that cannot be described more then just a gameplay mechanism, not everything must be set to lore.

I never said that we should have a magical colorful poof and we're on track, I said earlier what respawning Idea I had.

Also, I talk about those stuff because there is less then zero games with interactive tracks, and Grip has potential for that.

Yes the argument was for falling into the space similarly to the Leviathan track mentioned. Nothing against in falling off a cliff and being able to drive out of there, but rather no teleportation.

I can make an exception for arena mode though. It would actually be pretty cool to see a circle-shaped track where is a pit in the middle. You could push cars there and get points or those who fall into the pit get minus points. Either way works.

imo, falling of the track and respawing always slows down the gameplay and frustrates, specialy in games with weapons where an unlucky hit could sent you flying off the track and cost even more time (everyone who played Mario Kart will know what i mean...)

and about "invislbe walls":
you could always excuse them by having an "energy shield" around the track that keeps cars from flying off (if that fits within grips universe).
ad a little animation when hitting an invis. wall and you are fine
