Grid 2 trailer takes you (and Chris Harris) around Brands Hatch

Motoring journalist Chris Harris needs a hand with how best to drive his McLaren around Brands Hatch. Luckily Codemasters are there filming all of the action, so they whisk Harris back to their studios and make some noises about oversteer while he watches footage from Grid 2.

It seems somewhat unlikely that this will be enough to turn Harris into a Brands Hatch master with the skills to overtake McLaren test drive Mat Jackson, but that’s the impression the video wants to leave you with. Unless there’s a surprise twist in parts 2 or 3 where he skids off the track into a hedge.

Witness the combination of live-action and gameplay footage in the trailer, below.
