Superstars V8 Racing took many people by surprise when it was announced in mid-2009 due to the immediacy of its release, just a few weeks later. The game is based on the Italian Superstars racing series and the majority of the tracks included are in that country. As the title suggests the game features cars with V8 engines from manufacturers like BMW, Audi and Jaguar.

There has been a bit of criticism on some message boards that Superstars V8 Racing’s content does not match the series on which it is based. Now that the game is released, it’s possible to look in detail at what is included and just as importantly, what is not. Most notably, several manufacturer licences are missing, as well as a significant new addition to this year’s calendar of circuits.

A couple of weeks ago a demo of Superstars V8 Racing appeared on Xbox Live for premium members to play. Today a version has been released for PC gamers and it remains a small file to download at just under 400MB. The content is the same as the console version – a choice of 19 drivers to race at a variety of difficulty levels on the Portimao circuit in Portugal.

A demo of Superstars V8 Racing has just appeared on Xbox Live Marketplace. At 258MB, it’s one of the smaller trial games available on Xbox 360 and it is currently restricted to Gold members only. The small file doesn’t mean it is short on features though – you can choose any of the 19 drivers to race on the relatively new Portimao circuit in southern Portugal.
