Purpose of the project

Looks good! Here are a few tweaks:

DRAFT

VDrift aims to be a high-quality Free software racing simulation featuring enjoyable and challenging gameplay. To this end, VDrift must be an open platform for experimentation to a cooperative community of creative programmers and artists. The project also strives to take advantage of modern computing hardware to accurately simulate vehicle physics in rich and immersive racing environments.

some notes:

• "the premier" => "a high-quality": i'm unsure that we should use competitive language since we probably want to promote things like forking.
  
• capitalize Free to avoid the free-as-in-beer/freedom confusion; in the final version, "Free software" should be a link to [1].
  
• "using open data formats": sort of sounds like VDrift uses open standard formats (e.g. XML), so it's a little misleading. worked into "provide a platform" as "provide an open platform". could go even further and use wording like "malleable" instead of/along with open.
  
• "developers and data authors" => "programmers and artists": i think this wording is better; it is both shorter and more specific. adding "cooperative community of creative" to the beginning ties in the idea of building a team that works together.
  
• "enjoyable and challenging gameplay": seemed out of place at the end, it feels like good gameplay would only be tacked on as an afterthought. moved into end of first sentence.
