As long as driving by Kinect is not the only way. Honestly, I could also do without the 'fluff' of exploring the car.

thats only demenstrating the way you can explore the car ect ect and the new use of kanetic.
their is/was talk how they need to push the kanetic or controll less for the xbox.. its the new sales point of an almost outdated system. this is just the explorig mode of the cars ect ect.

as a racing simulator without control of the steering,speed,braking it will not survive especially in multiplayer mode.

so i would hope that this is only a mode of the game not the actual working of the game.
