Codemasters announces TOCA Race Driver 2006 on GameSpot announces plans to continue the racing simulation series. Accompanying the announcement is their TOCA Race Driver 2006 Q&A with Codemasters studio head Gavin Raeburn. Here's a bit:

TOCA Race Driver 2006 will continue the story-driven precedent established by the previous titles. In this game, we are focusing a lot more on both the aspirational and technical elements of motorsport. To this end, there will be a lot more information divulged in the scenes pertaining to both the cars the player will drive and how to get the best out of them on the track. Many of the scenes are dedicated to showcasing the various cars and motorsports available in the game.

With over 35 disciplines to choose from, the motorsport world is your oyster.In parallel to these scenes, the narrative arc builds on the glamour and all of its trimmings that is associated with high-end motorsport and the player's increasingly high-profile career. We've also maintained the most successful aspects of the previous story such as strong characterization, dry humor, and even a rather memorable wry Scotsman. Technically, we are also raising the bar to give the scenes an extra lick of gloss and realism. Consequently, every scene of the new story will have something of value for every type of player.
