This writer still remembers the first words he told his editor after submitting his demo review of Formula One: Championship Edition: "Next time, give me something less realistically simmy to review while I catch my breath" (well, he got his wish later on...).

Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE)'s F1-study sim (with its amazing detail, it might as well be) is turning over well in Japan, and is still waiting for the green flag to drop in North America and Europe.

So, while still waiting for that green flag, GameTrailers decided to show off three new gameplay vids of open cockpit racers zipping around the track: one in rain, one in the streets, and one that might be taking place in the Bahrain International Circuit, which explains all that sand (is there another F1 circuit in the desert we've missed?).

And apparently driven by a chicken. He turned away from the car-to-car collision, the coward.
