SimBin's RACE demo

Looks competitive.

We're still swooning over SimBin's 9/10-rated GTR 2, and already there's a demo out of the next game from the Swedish codeshop: RACE.

The 338MB demo offers a taste of the touring car sim due out for PC on 24th November from Eidos, allowing you to zoom round Brands Hatch in Time Attack mode using a Seat Leon or BMW 320i.

The full game lets you engage in the complete 2006 WTCC championship season with all the right cars and drivers and ten officially licensed tracks. It's also got mega-sounding 26-player online support.
