Still no firm release date you but here goes...

"Codemasters' rally experts are saying nothing in the run-up to the gaming event of the year, but all the signs are hot, hot, hot

12:12 Sources confirmed this morning that Colin McRae Rally 3 will appear in playable form at Californian games expo E3 in May, although details are being locked down hard until the showing. The elite Codemasters rally team, responsible for arguably the finest games in the genre, are currently hard at work on a demo version of the title, but are unwilling to discuss specifics due to certain, unspecified features in the game.
The secrecy surrounding the game is understandable: the world and his wife have suddenly realised just how lucrative rally games are in Europe. Some potentially excellent examples are facing up to McRae's third installment later this year, including V-Rally 3 from Infogrames. Microsoft is on the verge of releasing the beautiful RalliSport Challenge on March 14 for Xbox, with a further edition of Sony's first-party series, World Rally Championship, rumoured for late 2002. 'Bout time the Flying Scotsman had some competition.

Colin McRae 3 is currently nailed for Xbox, PlayStation 2 and PC. We'll bring you a full update on what to expect from what will almost certainly be the cream of the crop this Christmas, direct from the E3 showfloor. Easy right? Maybe."
