Codemasters has announced the latest instalment in its Colin McRae racing series, DiRT Showdown, for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in 2012.

Showdown is described as "an arcade-style spin-off" that takes the extreme-sports elements of Dirt 2, mixes in the Gymkhana events from Dirt 3, and then lobs in Destruction Derby action for good measure.

The game takes place in Codies' extreme-sports-enthused "theatre of racing," with new stunt- based Hooligan events on offer, as well as Need for Speed Autolog-style challenges you can send to your friends.

Controversially, handling has been changed for "a simpler arcade feel that should make keeping your car on the track and performing outrageous stunts much easier," it's claimed.

I saw a trailer for this yesterday and I'm interested in the destruction derby and sprint car stuff.  It looks like it could be a lot of fun.
