Posted by @ 7:50 AM, EST
Codemaster just announced a new Colin McRae game.
Here’s a bit of the press release:

The Ford Focus RS World Rally Car for Codemasters’ Colin McRae Rally 3 is set to be the most detailed and authentic driving machine ever recreated for a video game. Racing onto store shelves in Q3 of 2002, Colin McRae Rally 3’s development team is eyeing a level of visual detail that surpasses any other racing game. The game will provide a breathtaking sense of being on and off the road in a fully weighted and authentically functioning Ford Focus RS WRC.

Colin McRae Rally 3 will capture both the sense of driving an actual rally car and being part of a professional rally team thanks to the close working relationship Codemasters has formed with Ford Racing. Making use of their vast expertise and passion for the sport, Codemasters has unparalleled access and is working directly with the key members of the team responsible for the Ford Focus RS WRC. The game’s team is being given exclusive access-all-areas privileges during the 2001 World Rally Championship and to the Ford Racing Headquarters in Cockermouth England to gain a complete insight of getting a car through a stage and winning the rally.
