Atari’s Race Pro for the Xbox 360 will be released in January 2009.

Developers SimBin will use the extra months before the game’s release to put the finishing touches to the “ultra-realistic racing simulation.”

A playable demo will be available on Xbox Live before Christmas. The demo will feature online multiplayer and single player racing.

Head over to the game’s official website for videos and screenshots.

Atari has revealed Race Pro, a racing game heading exclusively to the Xbox 360 this fall.

Developed by SimBin (famed creator of PC racing simulators), Race Pro sees players training before working their way up the leaderboards. The game promises to appeal to players of all levels with the Mini Cooper Challenge as well as challenging tracks and advanced modes.

The game includes different cars ranging from 200 to over 1000 horsepower as well as championships such as WTCC, Formula 3000 and Formula BMW. It will include GT cars such as the Astin Martin and Saleen as well as production cars including the Audi A8 and Dodge Viper SRT10. Racing fans will also approve of the WTCC cars from manufacturers including Alfa Romeo, BMW, Chevrolet and Seat debuting on the Xbox 360.

Race Pro will include 13 real life tracks, Macau, Porto and Pau (exclusive to the game) and Laguna Seca and Road America from the US, new to SimBin fans. Up to 12 players can compete online via Xbox Live while the new Hot Seat feature enables players to get behind the wheel for a limited time before passing the controller to the next player.
