A pretty hefty demo of Race Driver:Grid has just launched on Xbox Live (and later today on PSN) includinga time trial competition for which Codemasters will be giving away aBMW 3-Series.
The single-player Grid World events and 12 playeronline racing would usually be the main attractions of a demo. But youmight want to join the lap-time geeks in the Time Trial mode, becausethere's a beemer in it for the fastest lap time.
Instead ofCodies just keeping an eye on the leaderboards though, you have tosubmit your fastest time through the official site. Then theyauthenticate it, and the top five players at midnight on Friday, May 23will compete in a finalists play-off.
Codies will lob the vroom vroom to whoever wins the head-to-head racesat the final in the Zavvi Store on Oxford Street, London, on the game'sMay 30 launch day.
Also in the demo: "Take to the wheel of aFord Mustang GT-R on the streets of San Francisco in the eBay MotorsMuscle Cup; in Japan, compete in a Nissan S15 Silvia in the Advan DriftTrophy at Yokohama Docks, while the sweeping curves and hairpins of theJarama circuit in Spain plays host to the Euro Touring Carschampionship featuring BMW 320si touring cars."
Oh, and here are three new screens to peek at while you download the demo.
