Driving over £3 million worth of top-spec racing cars down gamers’ download
pipes, Codemasters® today announced the launch of the new downloadable
“8 Ball” premium content pack for Race Driver: GRID™,
the hit racing game of the summer, for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer
entertainment system. The 8 Ball pack will be available today, Thursday
4th December, from PLAYSTATION®Network (£6.29 / €7.99 / $9.99).

True to the original game’s quality ethos, the 8 Ball pack delivers eight
superb high performance new cars to drive in the game’s ‘Race Day’ mode
and online races. New featured cars include the McLaren F1 GTR, TVR
Cerbera Speed 12, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, Honda S2000, Nissan
GT-R (S-G2008), VW Nardo, Pontiac Firebird Trans AM and the Volvo C30
(full details below).

In addition to the cars, there are two new multiplayer events to compete in set on existing circuits from across Race Driver: GRID’s three continents and designed to test drivers to their very limit
online.

Each downloadable pack will require players to have a full copy of Race Driver: GRID on
the appropriate format in order to experience the additional content. For all the latest information and videos, be sure to visit www.racedrivergrid.com

THOSE “8 BALL” CARS IN FULL:

• McLaren F1 GTR –
The McLaren F1 GTR wrote itself into the history books as the only GT
car to ever win Le Mans outright in the modern era and is considered
one of the finest examples of automotive engineering in history.

• TVR Cerbera Speed 12 –
The TVR 12 smashes past 60 MPH in just under 3 seconds. Production
models were planned, but they were considered too powerful to sell to
the general public.

• Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X –
For over a decade the Evo has been billed as a supercar slayer – now
the Evo-X in GRID lets you unleash its sledgehammer aggression in the
Pro-Tuned class.

• Honda S2000 – This roadster is heavily modified for drifting and has become a cult-favourite thanks to its award winning engine. (Hell Yeah!)

• Nissan GT-R (S-G2008) – One of the world’s hottest cars makes its debut in Race Driver: GRID in its fully tuned racing spec.

• VW Nardo – This powerful concept car made real from VW uses its 600BHP engine to rocket to 60MPH in 3.1 seconds.

• Pontiac Firebird Trans AM – The 1971 racing edition of this true American legend is a worthy addition to GRID’s exclusive group of muscle cars.

• Volvo C30 –
Adding to Race Driver: GRID’s touring car roster comes the C30, Volvo’s
agile, cutting edge hot-hatch straight from the STCC grid.

Personally I'm glad to see my favourite car, the Honda S2000, get some recognition. I still need to pick this game up though...
