A new racing experience is heading for PCs and next generation consoles next year courtesy of Codemasters Studios. The creators of Colin McRae: DiRT (360, PS3, PC) have finally pulled the covers from their latest racing title, Race Driver: GRID.

First introduced under the working title of Race Driver One, Race Driver: GRID brings the next iteration of Codemasters’ DiRT engine to bear. Here’s what chief game designer Ralph Fulton had to say about Race Driver: GRID:

GRID focuses on everything that happens between the start grid and the chequered flag: the drama, the rivalries, the aggression and the crashes. This is not a game about collecting cars or spending all of your time in the front-end tuning suspension settings or designing liveries. We want to make racing exciting again.

Choosing from a stable of some of the most powerful race cars – new and classic, circuit and drift – players can compete in official race tracks and championships in Europe and then go beyond to race in city-based competitions, road events and urban street races in Japan and the U.S.

Race Driver: GRID is being developed for the Games for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms and is scheduled for a mid 2008 release. For now, here are a few screenshots for you guys to drool over.
