Motorsport gaming evolves as Codemasters announces Race Driver One™.

ONE WORLD, ONE THOUSAND RACES, ONE CHAMPION. IT’S ALL ABOUT BEING NUMBER ONE IN THE NEXT GENERATION OF RACE GAMING FROM CODEMASTERS STUDIOS.


Codemasters today announced Race Driver One™, the third generation in its acclaimed 8-million+ selling motorsport series. The title is now in development at Codemasters Studios, creators of genre-leading motorsport video games, and will arrive in 2008 for leading console platforms and PC.

Race Driver One™ will be a true evolution for the series, which first appeared as the TOCA (DTM/V8) Touring Car games (1997-2000) and became the TOCA (DTM/V8) Race Driver series (2002-2006). Taking the series from ultimate racing simulation to ultimate racing stimulation, Race Driver One™ will be the next technical showcase for Neon, the studio’s proprietary middleware system that is already driving Colin McRae: DIRT™ in incredible detail.

Challenging players to become the number one race driver in a new world of exhilarating motorsport, Race Driver One™ will take players on a tour like never before; to beautifully realised racing locations through Europe, the U.S., Japan and beyond. The game will feature the most extensive range of events in the series, combining official circuit-based championships with road races and urban street competitions.

“As each generation of gaming formats shifts up a gear, so does this series and Race Driver One is set to evolve the previously headlined TOCA (DTM/V8) titles as much as DIRT has the Colin McRae series,” says Gavin Raeburn, Executive Producer at Codemasters Studios.

“Combining our racing heritage with the Neon engine, Race Driver One will create a world that goes far beyond the traditional boundaries of motorsport gaming, taking players from the most prestigious race circuits to road and street events around the globe. A completely fresh career structure will engage players in an unprecedented range of racing styles as they build a team capable of becoming number one. The Neon engine will be expanded to deliver a new level of visual detail, physics and an astonishing car damage system.”

This is gonna rock so hard! A pic on codemasters site shows the front of a DBR9 as well:P
 
I'll be looking forwards to this one I'm sure as info is released. The Race Driver games are great fun and are so diverse.
 
I like the fact its gonna be running on the same engine as the colin mcrae-dirt game, and that looks good..
 
I just hope that they will include BTCC again. The last time they had it was Toca Race Driver 1 and that was 4 years ago. I wonder if they will include that Seat touring car.

It's going to be even better if it really is using DIRT's game engine.
