We went to the launch of DiRT showdown to test out the game, and drive around Wimbledon dog track in a van smashing into other journos. Check out the video for some in-game footage, and the highlights from the launch day, including @amitkatwala nailing the van into a fence. Glorious.

Check out next Friday’s Sport mag for a review of the game.

DiRT Showdown will deliver a new world of competitive and combative racing as players race, crash and hoon their way to ‘Showdown’ finals on a chaotic tour of motorised mayhem when it launches May 25th† for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft®, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and PC.
