Started in 1998, the franchise has been a critical and commercial success and is generally acknowledged as a pioneer of realistic rally sports racing games. The series is named after the late World Rally Championship driver Colin McRae, who provided technical advice during development.
Despite McRae’s death in September 2007, Codemasters retained the use of his name on their rally games until the release of DiRT 3, where the moniker was dropped.
