Activision have announced that the next Grand Prix event for Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled is getting a hot new addition as Spyro the Dragon is joining the roster, along with some of his friends.

Spyro, Hunter, and Gnasty Gnorc will be added as unlockable playable characters with all of the personality that you come to expect from them. Each of them will also come with their own ride, perfectly matched to their personality.

As this is a Grand Prix, players will also be able to unlock a whole host of new content for the game, in the form of stickers, decals and paint-jobs. There will also be two new skins available to unlock that are Spyro themed, Dark Spyro and Gnome Velo, in addition to more for the existing characters.

Finally, a new track is also joining the game and in Spyro Circuit, racers will find a love letter to the purple dragon, in fact there is so much in it, you are best to head to the PlayStation Blog, to learn all about it.

This is the final planned Grand Prix, that I am aware of and it kicks off on August 30.
