New York – Friday, July 26, 2002 – Renowned for its high speed and aggressive action, Codemasters’ Pro Race Driver provides some of gaming’s most spectacular racing collisions to date.

As Pro Race Driver comes to PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system, Xbox video games system from Microsoft and PC, those collisions are about to become more dynamic, detailed and realistic than ever before. See the damage in an all-new Pro Race Driver video located at: http://www.codemasters.com/tocaracedriver/english/downloads-main.php

The game’s proprietary Finite Element Modeling (FEM) damage engine accurately simulates the deformation of a car’s structure over the duration of an impact, calculating how both the internal structure and outer bodywork of the cars react. This physics based approach gives unparalleled realism with different results every time depending on the exact conditions of the collision.
