DiRT 3 has over 50 rally cars

Since you asked.

2011 racer DiRT 3 will have over 50 rally cars, Codemasters has confirmed.

They will represent "the very best from five decades of the sport".

DiRT 3, officially confirmed with the release of a trailer over the weekend, has more than double the track content of 2009's DiRT 2.

Players will begin the new career mode at the top as a professional driver, with a top-flight career in competitive off-road racing "complimented by the opportunity to express themselves in Gymkhana-style showpiece driving events".

Supplimenting the traditional rally driving will be performance driving showcases and career challenges "where car control is pushed to spectacular limits".

Codies describes DiRT 3 as "the biggest, content-rich racer ever to roar out of Codemasters Studios".

In Edge magazine chief game designer Matt Horsman called it "the biggest rally game ever made".

DiRT 3 is due out on the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 next year.
