PRESS RELEASE:

Thursday 10th September/... See some of Colin McRae’s finest motorsport moments as Codemasters today revealed a teaser edit of the Colin McRae ‘Tribute’ video that features in Colin McRae: DiRT®2 as one of the ultimate in-game rewards for players to unlock. The teaser video is now showing at www.dirt2game.com in the ‘Visuals’ section.

Capturing the exhilarating ‘if in doubt… flat out’ natural driving style that earned Colin McRae millions of fans across the world, the full HD video is only accessible in game. To access the video players must first unlock the Colin McRae Challenge, the game’s pinnacle race event.

The Colin McRae Challenge is a unique three-stage Rally event that sees players racing against Colin’s family and friends from the world of motorsport, including Jimmy McRae, Alistair McRae, Ari Vatanen, David Coulthard, Valentino Rossi, Dario Franchitti and Ken Block, driving the Escort MK II that Colin made famous. After competing in the challenge, players will unlock the Colin McRae Tribute video, which was produced exclusively for the game and features some of Colin’s finest, most exciting and most sideways moments from a stellar career.

“Colin is hugely missed by all at Codemasters. We’re proud that this game will carry his name and, while we’ve all felt extra pressure and expectation, we hope we’ve created a game that he would have had a blast with,” said Matt Horsman, Chief Games Designer, Colin McRae DiRT 2.

“We think fans will enjoy the chance to take on rallies and events in some of Colin’s most famous cars, including the special Colin McRae Challenge, and reliving some of those moments that made him such a unique talent and the most exciting driver of his generation.”
