notes: '"Ryan Silver is a young, confident and adept racer from the beautiful and
  sunny Santa Ana Bay. A fierce, cross-country Grand Prix starts in his home town,
  and takes him to many extraordinary and dangerous locales. Does he have what it
  takes to defeat his rival Renard Wilde? With the support of his girlfriend Justine,
  and the help of his kooky friend and mechanic Todd, he may have a fighting chance.
  So buckle up, keep that foot on the gas, and enjoy the view!

  Downforce is a concept album that brings you to the thrilling world of a Racing
  Game. This album brings flavors of jazz fusion, funk, latin and rock in its own
  unique concoction. Inspired by the music of racing game composers such as Takenobu
  Mitsuyoshi, Kenta Nagata, Richard Jacques, Hiroshi Kawaguchi and more. This album
  contains 100% real performance, and features some incredibly talented special guests
  as well. Enjoy this energetic and imaginative ride!"
