For the sequel to Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed, EA Canada abandoned the Road & Track license in favor of direct agreements with the manufacturers, and took more liberties with the driving model pursuing a gameplay focused on arcade racing, which included a simpler driving style, as well as courses with exotic settings and high jumps.
