'Micro Machines without cars' in development

Meddlesome rumours abound surrounding a new racing game in development at Codemasters. The Warwickshire-based crew, famous for their splendid Colin McRae, TOCA and Micro Machines games, are said to be working on another racer, mysteriously codenamed 'Little Bastards'.
