This could be a surprise hit

F1 Race Stars is getting closer to its 16th of November launch. But in case you're wondering how on Earth the glamourous yet serious world of F1 could possibly translate into a Mario Kart-esque racer, then there's good news. You can try it for yourself! That's right, there's a demo out today on PC (Steam) and Xbox 360, with a PS3 demo to follow on November 7 in Europe (Nov 13 in the US). While it's downloading, let this trailer convince you of its quality with a 'Wa-hoo!' and a triple turbo Race Star power up .

'Original' is not the first word that springs to mind when we look at F1 Race Stars, as there's more than a sniff of Mario Kart about the premise and weapon set, but the quality level just keeps rising every time we play it. How good can it be? Look out for our review soon. Surely it can't challenge Mario's crown... can it?
