A few days ago we reported that Namco Bandai was releasing a free-to-play(or free2drift) racing game, Ridge Racer Driftopia . You too can drift like all the cool kids before anyone else by checking out the early access beta for free.

Namco Bandai is trying something new with this free-to-play model. Chances are I'll end up trying it and report in on how much of a Drift King I am.

In the mean time, drift fanatics can sign for the PC closed beta by simply heading to Ridge Racer Driftopia official website.

Ridge Racer Driftopia is bound for PC and PS3 later this year.
