    I love this game. Played 100hrs in Dirt 2 and I'll probably spend more in Dirt 3.  
     
    On PC, if you have a TrackIR device, the first person view unlocks tracking axes such as Yaw, Pitch, Roll, Z depth, X lateral, and Y height. It worked really well on Dirt 2 and it's pretty much the same here. For people looking for maximum immersion, try it out. I'm also running it in Nvidia 3D, it's technically not supported so you have to turn off Ambient Occlusion for your eyes not to explode.  
    This is something I never understood on consoles. Since both the Kinect and Playstation Eye exist now, why don't they use those devices to track your head movements for racing games? There's people out there with relatively simple third-party hacks that enable the tracking on those devices, however they are hooked up to a PC.   
     
    Anyway enjoy

    Nice run!
    I use TrackIR as well, just haven't tried in Gymkhana yet.
    I wish I had a different desk so I could fit a nice racing wheel like the G27, that would be amazing...

    @warxsnake: At the beginning I thought you lost it, all that spinning.. :) But I have to say it looks really impressive and very nice driving as well. 
     
    I might have to look into getting such a device some day, seems to be worth it. Thanks for sharing.

    Man I can't tell if that would make me all kinds of dizzy or not. But it's pretty cool. 
     
    And yeah, very good run.
