Codemasters has cemented a deep working relationship with Ford Racing for this project and will be making use of their vast expertise to add realism and a passion to the game?s atmospherics. Visually, Colin McRae Rally 3 will be a feast of cars, stages and countryside, with the Ford Focus RS World Rally Car returning as the lead car. The in-game Ford Focus is being designed to feature fully moving working parts, such as suspension, and the enhanced damage engine will result in a totally destructible car ? panels can be ripped off and punctured as well as dented.
