Creating a little buzz today, Codemasters and Asobo Studios have officially announced the development of a new racing title called FUEL. Due out in 2009, the game will feature open-world gameplay with a massive 5,000 square mile environment, day/night cycles, various race-altering weather effects and a whole lot more!
