DiRT 3 unveiled in video

Exploding lorries! Tarmac! Mud!

Codemasters had let-out the first video for racing threequel Colin McRae's: DiRT 3.

The footage shows mud-track rally driving, tarmacked race-course racing and, eventually, a car drifting underneath a lorry that explodes.

What that tells us about this third game in Codemasters' rally driving series we're unsure.

DiRT 3's existence was confirmed by Codemasters in March. Publisher bigwig Gavin Cheshire told the world back then that DiRT 3 would be "fresh and new", and "if you don't innovate, you're dead".

No date has been annnounced for DiRT 3. No platforms have been mentioned either, although we expect PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 as with previous DiRT games.

Pinched from YouTube. We'll swap this with a high quality video when one is available.
