Last night Codemasters debuted the trailer for their upcoming DiRT 3 on ESPN in the States.
We haven’t been told anything about the title yet but from the trailer it looks like we are going to be rallying in a bunch of different terrains and weather patterns but it’s the ending that I find the most interesting.
The more likely answer is that DiRT 3 is going to include Gymkhana sections but in my limited time of watching Rallying I have never seen trucks explode on purpose so that leads me into thinking that we may be seeing a bit of an extra storyline here.
Possibly one where we will be contracted into some movie studios to perform some stunt driving to supplement our income?
As I said though it’s more likely that it’s simply some Gymkhana stages but I prefer my idea…
It’s coming in 2011 but no platforms have been announced yet, though I think it’s safe to say both the PS3 and Xbox 360 will be getting a copy on their respective systems.

Please for the love of all things good, DO NOT let them put Colin Mcraes name in this…
THIS IS NOT RALLY!
As much as I find the dirt series fun, all this truck bashing, big jump xgames stuff is not rally.

Colin Mcrae in his last few months participated in the x games so he wouldnt be ‘spinning in his grave’ Mcrae trained Ken Block – search on youtube for Mcrae and xgames and you will see what im talking about-

Dirt has nothing to do with Colin Mcrae, Dirt 2 was more focus on guys like Ken Block. I think the direction they’ve taken is cool it’s not just rally that they offer in the game there are some variations like the buggies, jumps and tracks. Personally I’m not sure how much of one type of racing I can take I like to mix it up.

At the same time, you must remember that Rally has never, ever taken off properly as a spectator sport. It’s nowhere near as big as F1, Nascar, Australian V8’s and all of those.
As much as it also kills me to see the old rally style I loved so much becoming more Americanized and “pop”py, you have to give credit to people like Travis Pastrana and Ken Block for actually moving rally forwards and getting people more excited about it.
It all trickles down to the WRC eventually, people see it at the X-Games, they think its cool, so they start watching more WRC or they go to events and then everything picks up for them as well (spectators, better TV coverage etc.).
So as much as it kills you, think about how this is actually positively affecting the sport in the long run.
