If you are not spending time on your Playstation 3 playing Warhawk, which was released yesterday on PSN, then you may be interested to know that you can now test drive Colin McRae: DiRT as Codemasters has today launched the European playable demo on the PlayStation Store.

With the full game set to launch on Friday, 14th September , Colin McRae: DiRT takes the rally king off-road in a multitude of race events and the playable demo delivers three events to experience right now, including Crossover, C.O.R.R. (Championship Off-Road Racing), and a point-to-point rally stage.

The Crossover race has players competing against Colin McRae himself. Set in Germany, the Avelsbachring’s smooth but twisty tarmac is the perfect battleground for a pair of Subaru Impreza WRX STI spec Cs. Then, with nine other racers aggressively competing for position, it’s a fierce C.O.R.R. competition in V8 650hp buggies at the Bark River Off Road Raceway, Michigan.

Finally, and exclusive to the Playstation 3 demo, the gravel churning start of the Cuconi B rally stage in Sardinia will have players racing to achieve a best time through Italian vineyards before hitting the tarmac at the end of the stage.
