Fantastic driving mechanics, a well realised sense of speed, jaw dropping visuals (on the PC version, at least), and a neat soundtrack all contributed to what is probably my favourite current-generation racing game.<\/p>\n<p>So naturally, I&rsquo;m pretty excited about the sequel: DiRT 3, which we now know is being released on 24th May, 2011.<\/p>\n<p>DiRT 3 boasts double the track content contained in the last outing, and will focus on off-road racing events. The majority of the game&rsquo;s career mode will be made of rally racing, and rally courses will be split across three continents: North America, Africa and Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Codemasters celebrated the announcement by releasing two new screenshots which show off distinctly African terrain. Kenya has been confirmed as a playable location in DiRT 3.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"thumbnail.php?file=dirt_3_screen_shot_478545793.jpg&amp;size=article_large\" border=\"0\" alt=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/thumbnail.php?file=dirt_3_screen_shot_478545793.jpg&amp;size=article_large\" width=\"340\" height=\"191\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"thumbnail.php?file=DiRT_3_screenshot_kenya_960182171.jpg&amp;size=article_large\" border=\"0\" alt=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/thumbnail.php?file=DiRT_3_screenshot_kenya_960182171.jpg&amp;size=article_large\" width=\"600\" height=\"337\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rally racer due out May 24 <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9863","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9863","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9863"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9863\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9863"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9863"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9863"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
