Codemasters Dirt 2 trailer released

Ken Block has been signed as one of the key motorsport athletes who will feature in the upcoming Colin McRae:Dirt 2 title. Ken Block, an X Games team-mate of the late Colin McRae is at the forefront of a new breed of drivers . His main drive for rally driving has been due to the inspiration that Colin McRae had become to him.

“As one of the most talented and exciting drivers on the rally scene today, Ken is a perfect fit for Colin McRae: DiRT 2,” said Gavin Raeburn, Senior Executive Producer, Codemasters. “His insight into car handling and track design has already been invaluable to the development team and his endless enthusiasm for the game and rally as a great sport is absolutely priceless to us.”
