This video has moved! Try our new Destructoid HD video section
I'm often reminded just how amazing it is to work for a site such as Destructoid, and this video is hardcore proof that every day my expectations are surpassed.
Codemasters decided to fly Dyson and me down to the Toyota Speedway in Irwindale, California, for a day of drifting and hot, smoggy air. We got the chance to sit in the passenger seats of race cars as professional drivers flew us around the track (on what felt like a high speed teacup ride!) to experience how real-life drifting would feel, in an effort to demonstrate just how well they replicated it in the game.
Check out the video to see our interview with Brad Schlachter, Senior Marketing Director for Codemasters, to hear about their upcoming release, GRID. You'll also get to see some of the drifting in the game that they spent so much time perfecting.
Look for GRID, coming to stores on June 3rd.

@Toneman - dude... the drifting challenge was awesome
@Merry Ho - I'm sure he will be
@ Toneman: I just report. I can't make any excuses for the product :)
@ Merry Ho: I agree about the figity. But in my defense, we had only slept, in total, four hours the night before and then flew to LA from SF with nothing to keep me going but one, ONE, Diet Pepsi. I'm normally very energetic and constantly moving around, regardless, and that certainly shows ;)
I was a loooong day ...
(If I put one more smiley face in this response, people will start thinking I'm Chad Concelmo!)
*retreats hand*
*plays it off*
WIN.
Stop using this new video player of yours, or patch up some bugs, it autoplays in Opera when reloaded!
Damn your creepy sounds leaking out of my speakers?!
Btw, You guys should've taken that Yaris onto the track and drifted it around a few cones.
LOAN APPROVED!
A Yaris would only crash and burn, have you no respect for Dyson and Husky's safety?
Guess I will have to put up with these Cock Dragons For a little while longer!
Great vid guys :)
I don't think a yaris could go fast enough to even deploy it's own airbags if it crashed into a concrete barrier.
and @wardrox - we didn't get shit either - we showed up in the morning, worked through where lunch should have been, and left at 2.00...
... but we did go to In and Out by the airport... and had time to fall asleep in the car afterwards... best nap EVER!!!
HE'S DRIFTING WAY TOO HARD!!
WIN
so was there an embargo since i remember you mentioned this in a episode of RFGO! a long time ago.
Also... lucky bastards! :-P <-- Jealousy
