Using a stereo camera, the system scans the road surface up to 15 meters ahead of the vehicle at speeds up to 130 km / h (81 mph), and it adjusts the shock damping at each wheel to account
for imperfections in the road.

It requires lots of steering corrections as it instantly follows any
imperfections in the
road, and the short wheelbase and low - profile tires make
for a pretty harsh ride.
Road noise and surface

This is more apparent when talking about the difficulty of the game too, as it's not just a straight up arcade game where you can rely on riding guard rails to get round corners, as FlatOut 4 does incorporate some realistic physics, this combined with the extremely aggressive AI will lead to a lot of restarts as quite often you'll be rounding a corner with the chequered flag
