I posted just the other day about the predicted release date for Real Racing 3 for iPad / iOS being February 28. Now that date is confirmed and we also know that the game will be a freemium app – as in, the app will be free but you’ll need to use In-App purchases for certain repairs and upgrades and new cars.

This is one of the most eagerly anticipated iPad games for many people, and I’m definitely in that club. I’m very psyched to see and try out this game in a couple weeks. In the meantime, my friend Jeff Scott at 148apps has been lucky enough to get some hands-on time with the game – lucky bar steward!

He’s already posted one of the first full race videos of Real Racing 3. Check it out and try not to start counting the hours before this game hits the App Store:
