Chimp my ride: Ape Escape Racer from Sony

Looks like Sony's Net Catching Monkey Thriller is coming to PSP with an all new twist.
Chimp my ride will be a mascot racing game version of Ape Escape for PSP and PS2 coming for the PSP
(no current release date)
Heres what PSP Extra had to say:

(That, loyal readers, is the BEST headline EVAR created for PSP Fanboy. You can applaud my creative genius in the comments section below.)

Anyways, it appears that Sony's branching out the Ape Escape series into the competitive mascot racing genre. While details are scarce, it appears that what separates this game from other mascot racers is that the monkeys don't drive go-karts... they ARE the go-karts.
