Due for release next year, DiRT 2 will carry Colin McRae's name, as have all the games before it in the series. DiRT 2 will be the first game in series since the legendary rally driver died in a helicopter crash in September 2007.
"Colin McRae was all about the speed, the excitement and the entertainment of rally driving. Even when we first worked with him over ten years ago, he captured a freedom and a spirit that enthralled rally fans." said Gavin Raeburn, senior executive producer at Codemasters Studios.
"Later his showmanship shone through in events such as the X-games, the Dakar Rally and the Race of Champions. He could do things with a car that no one else would and that's where we're taking the series with new events at the extreme edge of rally and autosport. It will be a great tribute to an incredible champion."
