DRIG: a Race Driver: GRID engine reconstruction

DRIG reimplements Race Driver: GRID in Rust and Bevy, loading tracks, cars, textures, sounds, and other data from the user's PC installation. Its research uses Ghidra on grid.exe and compares reconstructed driving, AI, audio, and selected routines against original behavior. The author describes the playable engine as early and experimental.
