well I'm relieved the thrust is not back and although I didn't play pure yet I'm not that found of the idea of the barrel roll ...
mostly coz it doesn't seem 'real' (imagine a F1 car or a NASCAR doing it ) and the ' tekken combo' involved to acheave it. :-
I'd rather have the Boost as a weapon as in wipEout ( imo still the best wo, SE close 2nd coz of the thrust. as said before I haven't played Pure yet )
Or just put some fat quadruple speed pads on a well chosen sraights and before turns or hairpins as at the Silverstream hairpin!
okay just checked it's only double ...
