As you might be able to deduce from the game's name, Team Sonic Racing is all about teamwork. SEGA has released a brand new trailer that drives this point home, focusing on the techniques you and your teammates will be utilising to stay ahead.
Skimboost is a manoeuvre whereby you drive close to a teammate who's struggling to give them a running start back into the race. You can also enter a partner's slipstream and slingshot past them with a speed boost, and you can trade Wisps - power-ups - between cars. Using all these moves will help to fill up a team ultimate meter, which will give everyone on the team a big speed boost.
The game is looking solid, and it'll be interesting to see how effective its team-based racing is when it launches later in the year.

It might be a bit unambitious but personally I just want another good old-fashioned cartoon kart racer. I'm really not sure about this one.
You can tell what gameplay is on PS4 and what isn't in this footage just looking at fidelity, and more obviously, frame rate.
Also, hi Big.
It looks okay, but it's a bit of a shame after the excellent Transformed. Just doesn't look quite on the same level.
@RogerRoger I agree. This is Sumo after all. They're never shy with content. They even managed to cram tons of stuff in to Outrun 2006!
I'll l get this. I really love the mechanics of the Sonic racers. It is a shame it's not closer to Transformed in roster terms - but I'm cynical enough to think that Sega will happily dlc every possible character/track they can for £££.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO big the cat!
@RogerRoger The Outrun stuff was technically dlc for Transformed, even thought it was included in the LE version.
But yeah - I guess it will depend on sales.
