GamingAge posted a review of Namco’s Ridge Racer V:

Usually you either love the control in the Ridge Racer titles or hate it, though that isn't really the case for RRV. It is both easy to pick up for beginners, and deep enough for veterans, and doesn't really require you learn to powerslide perfectly, to compete and have fun. Of course, some hardcore RR fans may frown on that, but I believe it was a good choice on Namco's part. The "bumper car" effect, when hitting walls and other cars has been toned down as well, thankfully.
