Group B is synonymous with a short-lived period in Rally where light regulation and few restrictions on car development led to manufacturers producing some of the most exciting cars that the sport has ever seen. Group B cars have since entered Rally folklore since cars with their astonishing power couldn’t have been developed during any other era of the sport. Sadly, these iconic cars were involved in an increasing number of accidents, which resulted in the banning of Group B Rally in 1986.Watch the video below or click here for the HD option.
The gameplay video showcases these super-charged icons of Rally being put through their paces in wide ranging conditions, from tarmac to dirt and snow. In DiRT 3, the Group B discipline gives players the ultimate test as they jump behind the wheel of some of the most famous cars to compete in the sport including the Ford RS200, MG Metro 6R4 and Peugeot 205 T16 Evo 2.
DiRT 3 is due in Australia on May 26 2011 for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. For more details, check out AusGamers' recent hands-on preview.

Big Q for the group B cars, little q for the road going cars, and Ur-quattro for the early cars
and really it was all about the pug 205, that thing was hairbrainingly fast, (got to drive one at a show, it was all of 600 meters, but man it was good)

i let it slide, as the point was made well enough to start with
as for the game, it might almost be enough for me to get an xbox 360, and get rid on my trusty mk 1 xbox
looks almost as good (gameplay wise) as some of the dreamcast titles, i just hope it doesn't come out tooo arcadey (i like the history that is brought in by some games, but other screw with fact a little too much)
these cars are still able to give everything on the road a good run for their money, hell, i know for the 25th the audi climbed up a 55% angle faster than a new RS4, and the group b car was on the same tyres and using the same oil that it had when in was rolled into the "hall of fame" 20 years earlier

edit: Does anyone know if this uses that utter failure, games for windows live? I had so much trouble trying to update that stupid thing and get it to run by the end I'd lost interest in even trying to play the game that required it.

Seems pretty cool to me...shrug.
Good for chatting in between races in DiRT2 so others can't see what you're talking about in game.
Kind of email style..
Voice coms works pretty well too - you can mute noobs easily...

This is not to start a PC vs console argument. Consoles have their place and I know that. I can't comment on the Xbox... Just sayin is all :)
I agree the setup for GFWL can be a bit d***y ( or was in the past)- but i'm sure they will sort that out.
