By my own admission I am no gamer. I love playing games of certain kinds, but I generally don’t stick at it for months or even weeks in some occasions. That said, I love racing cars of any kind (except British Touring) and will generally get excited about any new racing game. No title has impressed me quite as much as Firemint’s Real Racing series. The franchise was so popular that EA snapped the developers up and has invested heavily in the latest version of the game.

Real Racing 3 has just been announced, and it features even better graphics than the 2nd in the series and a whole host of new tracks, including Silverstone! The title will be available at some point this year. Watch the trailer above, the visuals and sound effects look breath taking. If it’s like any of the other Real Racing games, it will be a massive success.
