It looks like Codemasters will be announcing their next title, Grid 2, in just a couple of days time. On their official twitter page they teased an upcoming announcement this Wednesday followed by the brief teaser trailer I’ve embedded below. if you like seeing pre-rendered tires squeal against digital pavement this you’ll love this trailer!

The original Race Driver: Grid is perhaps one of my favorite racing games of this generation. The handling was suburb and the ability to rewind time and fix mistakes was novel for 2008, when the game released. Let’s not also forget the presentation, from sleek pop out text  to a sexy female announcer who said your name, the original Grid was a standout title in a genre where new games can pass you by.

Presumably Grid 2 will be targeted for a mid – late 2013 release on current gen consoles and PCs.
