The British game studio will release make new installments to the three franchises under a new banner, Codemasters Racing. One of the first Codemasters Racing titles will be DiRT Showdown, slated for May 25. "Racing is our DNA, it is our heritage, it is our specialisation and it is our absolute focus going forward," said Codemasters communications chief Rich Eddy.
"We have kept our reputation for delivering best-in-class racing games, And best-in-class racing games is now our razor focus going forward. In racing, we are No.2 in Europe and that's not good enough. We want to take racing games across multiple platforms and genres.

DiRT 3 is currently at a stage where the community is like MW3 or whichever shooter.
Most of the time there will be someone using an exploit within a lobby to avoid losing or to appear like a fast driver and increases more and more as the game becomes older.
This has not been resolved by CM since GRiD and needs to be resolved.

keeps you in suspense and demands the full attention
Although I have seen some pretty awesome mods for RBR.
