﷽After last year's fab TOCA Race Driver 2 piled on to PSP with pretty much all its corner-hugging, bodywork-crumpling racing action intact - and 12-player multiplayer - we'd hoped Codemasters would keep its r♊acing streak going. Thankfully, it has with the just-announced TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge, and even better it's due before the end of the year.

Not a port of TOCA 3 on PS2, it's instead a PSP-exclusive game boasting a new World Challenge mode: takin🧔g a cue from other console racers by offering a series of skill tests and race stylꦇes for you to tackle in bite-sized moments of motorsporting goodness.

As TOCA series fans will expect, no matter what you're driving or where in the world you're doing it, there's satisfying physics🎃 at work as you scream around the track - or just scream as you plough into a five-car collision.

Still boasting multiplayer for more players than you could comfortably fit in🐻 the back seat of a bus - and welcome 4-player Game Sharing if your mates foolishly haven't bought into TOCA goodness - we'd be surprised if this doesn't jostle to the top of the Chrimbo PSP pack.
