rrv is a direct sequel to the original arcade game made in a realistic type 4/rageracer style rather than a direct continuation of type 4's gameplay and aesthetic. sort of a rave racer 2.
rr7 is more or less just rr6 with bodykits, and rr6 itself is just ridge racer psp for home consoles. the drifting model is pretty ass but actually makes sense if you've ever played the original rr on psx using a gamepad, which is kind of what it's attempting to emulate. you're on a rail but you still have control over the radius of that rail based on your entry speed and drift angle, it's not quite as easy to master as it looks. rr6 has some cool ass, monstrously fast extra cars and the races against them can get fucking insane. at high speed classes the drifting/boosting model begins to make a little more sense and it's ultimately just namco's version of f-zero.
