Race Driver: GRID demos this week

On PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Codemasters has told us to be prepared for a Race Driver: GRID demo at some point this week.

The official website promises it will appear on all platforms other than DS - so that's PS3, 360 and PC. It will feature three events to put your foot to the floor in.

First of these is the eBay Motors Muscle Cup that puts you in a Mustang GT-R on the streets of San Francisco. Then there is the Advan International Trophy where you'll drive a Nissan S15 Silvia in the Yokohama Docks - probably not actually in them - and finally there is the Euro Touring Car Series where you'll thrash a BMW 320si around the curvy Jarama course.

Codemasters is also planning some sort of competition for the demos where you'll be able to win an "amazing prize". Maybe it's a car. That would be nice.

Race Driver: GRID is due out on PS3, 360, PC and DS this summer, and has impressed us with its arcade charms on multiple occasions.

Pop over to our most recent hands-on with Race Driver: GRID to find out much, much more.
