Now showing: Colin McRae spins, flips and crashes out in the DIRT™!

With Colin McRae at the wheel, strap yourself in for an incredible ride as Codemasters premieres the trailer video for Colin McRae: DIRT , now available to view and download at www.codemasters.co.uk/dirt

Opening with cliff-edge cornering on Pikes Peak, one of the breathtaking Hill Climb events, the video trails the bump and grind of buggy racing and reveals McRae's very own prototype performance car, the R4, in a dramatic crash sequence.

Created using in-game vehicle and environmental models, this is just a first taste of the exhilaration Colin McRae: DIRT promises when it launches this June for the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and PC, with a PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system edition following shortly after.

Much as the video teases just some of the varied terrain that you'll be racing, in the full game you'll be racing the world offering a massive variety of surfaces and visual styles. Terrain ranges from the narrow mountain roads of Spain, the twisting forest roads of UK, the technical vineyard stages of Germany and through to the fast flowing turns of the hill climb racing in the U.S. There's also full on off-road events in Italy, France, Germany, Japan and Australia.

Beyond this trailer video, the first 'in-game footage' video will launch tomorrow, Thursday 29th March, available to download exclusively from Xbox Live® Marketplace. Set to deliver an exhilarating thrill ride through a massive variety of off-road racing experiences, Colin McRae: DIRT is coming this summer.
