Amazing first screenshots from FUEL

I'm just now hearing about Fuel for the first time. Created by British game studio Codemasters and due for release in 2009, Fuel is an open-world racing game featuring five thousand square miles of navigable terrain: if you can see it in the game, you can drive right up to it. Fuel takes place in a near future where the environment has run amok and global supplies of oil are running out: sorta like Mad Max meets Grand Theft Auto.

Here's the image that made me take notice and decide that I might have to add Fuel to my library...

In addition to tornadoes, players will also have to deal with snowstorms, driving rain and a realistic day/night cycle.
