FlatOut is an arcade racing simulator focused on destruction and collision physics, released in 2004. Developed by Finnish studio Bugbear Entertainment, the game quickly became a cult classic among fans of chaotic racing, largely thanks to its unique damage system and iconic ragdoll physics - with drivers being flung from their vehicles during crashes, both unintentionally during races and deliberately in mini-games built entirely around this mechanic.
