TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge is an exclusive PSP title in the legendary racing series and hits the streets next Friday, February 16th. But, if you own a PSP and you're dying to take it for a spin, you can run the game's circuits today in a trio of skill tests driving with the Ultima GTR, Opel Vectra GTS V8 and the classic Mercedes Benz W196.

So there are three cars, one circuit and event combinations unique to the demo. Jump into the driver's seat of the Ultima GTR to try out "Steering Control" mode in which you must hurtle through a slalom course of cones before the time runs out.

Also, players can engage in a 'Duel' event at Norisring. Racing in an Opel Vectra GTS V8, go head-to-head against one rival who has the advantage of a head start. Prove that you're an experienced racing gamer and catch up to your opponent to win the race.

Another interesting feature which will help players prove their skills is the 'No Damage' test at the Castle Coombe circuit. Racing in a pack of Mercedes Benz W196 classics, compete against aggressive opponents that constantly try to ram into you, as you try to finish the race with minimum damage. Also, there's a multiplayer mode for up to 12 players to battle it out and a game sharing mode where 4 players can enjoy wireless multiplayer from just one UMD.

TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge is the successor to the hit PSP title TOCA Race Driver 2 launched in September 2005, not a handheld adaptation of TOCA Race Driver 3 from PlayStation2 released in February 2006. TOCA Race Driver 3 Challenge launches on February 16th and you can download your very own demo version from this site.
