GameSpot has a preview of the Formula One 2006 game coming from Sony. I know it’s not PS3 related, but there’s some interesting stuff in here that may bear some relevance. The game has all sorts of new features, like pitstops and the like. It is being released on both the PS2 and the PSP this summer.

And here’s where things get interesting - PS2 and PSP owners can race each other! I don’t recall seeing this before, where a person on one console/portable platform can play against a person on a different platform. You’ll be able to join the same lobbies and compete in the same races. Pretty neat stuff. I assume this is part of where Sony is going with the PSP and PS3 integration. I wonder if one day PS2, PS3, and PSP owners can all race against each other?
