I have it on pretty good authority that it will be released here stateside before the end of the year, it actually has "Rally USA" stuff worked into it from the Ramada Express International Rally.
And from all accounts it is supposed to be a great game, awesome effects and stuff I'm looking forward to seeing the real deal.

Colin McRae, Former world champ (what 3 or 4 times?) now "retired" although rumored to be returning next year

Richard Burns, World Champion in 2002, diagnosed with a brain tumor and still undergoing treatment

Petter Solberg, World Champion 2003.

All of them made their names famous running World Rally Championship (WRC)

Same league? in a manner of speaking, yes.

same class? I think that depends on who you're talking to...

With all of them in good health, I expect you could put the 3 of them in the same car and they'd all turn in times that would blow away just about anybody on this continent.

We mere mortals can only dream of someday maybe getting one or two turns in like these guys drive for a living, and they make it look so easy.....

It's been out 4 a while now. Most of you must not visit torrent sites that much. It is a really good game though.

Well, here's all the ratings from the UK publications and websites

That scares me. I've invested alot of time into colin mcrae, and am pretty into what codemasters have been doing with it. Lots of people also claim that rallysport is better than CMR - which is totally absurd - rallysport is an arcade racer, not a sim.

I'll give a shot though!
