Exploring the most important aspect of the game, the handling, Gehan Pathiraja, Senior Vehicle Handling Designer, and Tim Dearing, Vehicle Handling Designer, explain how <strong><em>DiRT 3<\/em><\/strong> will deliver the most exciting and realistic behind-wheel experience in the series.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re working much closer with manufacturers and racing drivers to make sure the physics are as realistic as possible for each and every car in the game,\u201d says Gehan Pathiraja, Senior Vehicle Handling Designer on <em>DiRT 3<\/em>. \u00a0\u201cWhat we\u2019ve looked to do is improve the way the weight shifts in the car. It\u2019s far more realistic. It transfers that force in a much more detailed fashion on the springs, dampers and the tyres. Without a doubt the car handling in DiRT 3 is the best it\u2019s ever been.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>DiRT 3<\/em><\/strong> will boast more cars, more locations, more routes and more events than any other game in the series. With more than double the track content of 2009\u2019s hit, players will enjoy a career as an elite professional driver, competing in off-road racing events on the intense, weather-beaten rally stages of Europe, Africa and the US. <strong><em>DiRT 3<\/em><\/strong> will feature the most amount of Rally content to feature in the series to date, accounting for 60% of its extensive career mode. With rally stages set across three continents players will learn to master the conditions on tarmac, gravel and snow in dry and wet conditions for the most authentic rally experience.<\/p>\n<p>The new developer Q&amp;A video is now showing at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dirt3gamem\">www.facebook.com\/dirt3game<\/a> where fans can keep up to date with the latest news, screens and videos straight from the studio.
