The Best Racing Game You've Never Played: Enthusia Professional Racing

If you are into racing games and simracing, you may be familiar with brands such as Forza Motorsport, Assetto Corsa, iRacing and particularly Gran Turismo.
Pioneer of the genre since the PS1 era, the Japanese title is one of the most important brands, not only in the racing game scene, but in the whole video game industry.
“The Real Driving Simulator”, was a concept so popular that it literally dominated the entire market, leaving zero space for competition from other companies, as no one has ever been so brave to challenge the Sony giant.
No one, except for one single title that came out in 2005: Enthusia Professional Racing, developed by no less than Konami.
The game was the company's direct contender to Gran Turismo 4, set to be launched right that year, and saw a promising future ahead as many believed it had an extremely high potential to threaten Gran Turismo, thanks to many innovations, quality contents and incredible mechanics right ahead of its time.
An underrated gem from the past, Konami’s direct challenge against Sony.

This is the story of Enthusia Professional Racing.

We hope you'll enjoy the video! :)
