So, we know all about Real Racing 3's potentially groundbreaking Time Shifted Multiplayer feature. (See developer diary below.)

So, we know precisely how many Game Center achievements there'll be in Real Racing 3. (65, by the way.)

What we don't know about Real Racing 3, though, is its launch date.

Until now.

In a press release on Real Racing 3, EA has confirmed that Firemonkeys's fuel-injected iOS and Android racing sim will line up on the starting grid on February 28th.

It will race simultaneously onto the iOS App Store, Google Play, and the Amazon Appstore.

For those who can't wait that long, be patient, tigers. Oh, and look out for our practice session - a.k.a. hands-on preview - with Real Racing 3 later on in the week.

I, for one, can't wait. Except I have to. Damn.
