Valve Software has announced that starting this Thursday, Steam users will get the chance to try out "RACE: The Official WTCC Game" unil Sunday afternoon.

"From acclaimed Swedish developers, SimBin, RACE is the first title to deliver the intense action of the WTCC championship to PC gamers.

"RACE embodies the SimBin mantra of 'easy to learn; hard to master,'" says Henrik Roos, SimBin CEO. "Novices can get into the game and be racing immediately. And, with several game modes, the game remains challenging for expert drivers as well. RACE has been very well received by the media and we are excited to offer this extended test drive through Steam's upcoming free weekend."

To celebrate the successful launch of this new franchise, Race will now be offered at $29.95, attracting even more racing fans into the growing multiplayer action. Additionally, for a week after the Steam free trial starts, customers can save an additional 10% off the new price."
