First public showing at Autosport International Exhibition

Codemasters have announced that Colin McRae Rally 2, the eagerly anticipated rally sequel, will receive its first public showing at the Autosport International Exhibition at the Birmingham NEC on January 15-16. Visitors to the Ford Racing stand will be able to strap themselves into a dedicated Ford Focus simulator and experience some of the most gruelling courses from around the world. Best of all, Nicky Grist, Colin McRae's co-driver, will be shouting things in your ear, like "EASY RIGHT" and "WRONG WAY, IDIOT!" Probably.

Colin McRae Rally 2 is set to hit PlayStation and PC in late spring, and you can check out our preview of the PC version by clicking here.
