Codemasters has released the first gameplay footage from Fuel, its upcoming open-world, off-road racer.

Describing said open world, Codies says this - "From the snow-capped mountains of Mount Rainier to the salt-plains of Utah and the Grand Canyon, FUEL’s unique environment, mapped using satellite data, is set to create the ultimate racing sandbox. Players will be able to take any route they choose at any time, on and off-road, across a game world that demands to be raced and explored."

Let's take another look at the stats for how much terrain is on offer, eh? According to Codies it has, "more than 100,000 miles (161,000+km) of tarmac, tracks and trails".
