The F1 RACE STARS demo will be available for download today for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft in Europe and North America. The demo will then be available from Steam for Windows PC worldwide and PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system in Europe on Wednesday, November 7th; the demo will arrive for PlayStation 3 in North America on Tuesday, November 13th.

In the demo players can race as Jenson Button, Fernando Alonso, Sebastian Vettel or Kimi Räikkönen and compete with other official and fictional FORMULA ONE drivers, transformed into heroic caricatures that are bursting with personality. 

In the sprint for the chequered flag, gamers can utilise a range of fantasy and FORMULA ONE themed power-ups, from calling in Wet Weather to slow the pack, deploying DRS to speed past rivals and using a range of sneaky bubbles to trap other drivers. If their car takes damage, gamers can race through the pit lane to get back up to speed, whilst a variety of different routes, boost pads and shortcuts will all slingshot players ahead. 

NEW GAMEPLAY VIDEO REVEALED

To mark the news, Codemasters has released a new gameplay video showcasing some of the features set to take FORMULA ONE over the top. The trailer shows FORMULA ONE stars zooming past giant sumo robots in Japan, racing through a carnival in Brazil and dodging a Truckosaurus in the USA on F1 RACE STARS’ unique circuits. In a super-charged sprint for the chequered flag, the trailer shows the drivers using different power-ups – including Safety Car, Teleport and DRS – to gain the advantage on their rivals and race around special KERS corners to get a speedy boost. The video is now playing at www.F1racestars.com. ;
