The latest in the series of games bearing the name of legendary rally driver Colin McRae, Colin McRae: DiRT 2, will feature a special rally in memory of him.
Codemasters game design manager Robert Fulton says: “At the end of the game, when the player has competed in world tours, when he has won the X Games of America, we think the fitting finale to the game is what we’re calling the McRae Memorial Challenge.
“This is a special one-off three stage rally in which the player will compete against Colin’s own family, Jimmy and Alister McRae, and a host of as yet unannounced motor sports superstars. We’ll be revealing a list of their names closer to our release date.”
Andrei Dobra, Games Editor at Softpedia, says: “This will certainly make a lot of racing fans quite eager to try out DiRT 2, as the game will not only deliver one of the most realistic rally driving experiences, but it will also honor the man who brought great pride not only for the game franchise but also for rally driving in general.”
The game will be released in September.
