It's been five long years since the last Grid, Codemasters' bold and often brash reboot of its Race Driver series. So much has happened since then - including three separate Dirt games - that it's nice to have it back. Grid 2 may not have quite the impact of its predecessor - I liked it but didn't quite fall in love with it - but it's a solid, smart racer nevertheless.

Ian Higton's going to be playing through an hour of Grid 2's campaign from 5pm BST today to help give you a flavour, and as he says he's a clumsier driver than even me, you can expect to see a fair bit of Codemasters' imperious damage modelling up close. There's also a handful of prizes to be given away, so hopefully it'll be worth your while!
