The driving in this game looks great as usual but apparently Codemasters have shoved their head up their arse where it's still 1997.

Wow, i've never really been into racing games before but everytime i play one i'm ALWAYS in cockpit view if it can be selected. This looks like a game i could really get into, even though it looks insanely difficult. 
. I might pick it up as soon as my red ringed 360 gets back in!

FOV should always be tweaked for cockpit views. One of the issues I had with the cockpit view in this game was that the FOV was tiny. I still love cockpit view, but yeah.

Nice to see cockpit view getting love, and I applaud anyone using it in Dirt 2 since rollcages take up so much vision and the water will blind.

I'm going to have to reinstall this game. It's one of the best racing games ever in my opinion.

Was so glad to notice this in the 360's Games on Demand Library.  Have been looking for a good racer for my hard drive.  And I am actually glad to hear that racing wheels do not provide much if any of an advantage for this game.  My glass coffee table does not seem like a good place to put a racing wheel.

@snide is wrong about the wheel being useless. I'm using my G27 in D3 and coming in first on high difficulty settings, no assists.

I bet Dave is going to be confused when he sees this in his inbox.

Rewatched this in reaction to Drew's announcement that he's leaving GB.

Can't believe this video was so long ago!
