The entries are in for our DiRT 3 tournament and we have the line up for the first round!
We received twenty five entries for the tournament, which means that there’s seven drivers lucky enough to get a free by into the next round. The rest will have to organise and complete and report their races before 9pm BST on Sunday 7th August.
Before we reveal the line up, a quick reminder of the races:

Once the races are complete the results are to be posted in the forums, and I will deal with any issues.
But who will you be racing? Now is the time to find out! We used random.org to decide who would race who, and place everyone into a knock-out table. The following was produced:
Spooferbarnabas – by
Tonyyeb – by
SuperJag86 vs. Crazy_Del
Death_In_Flamez – by
MrSpeedyGonzales vs. Freezebug2
CarBoyCam vs. R1MJAW
Baxteros vs. LuckyDogRcs24 Â (SteeeeeevoLapeer on PSN)
Ro6afc11 – by
FunkyMunky – by
JamboGT vs. Teflon
Davidsmall2410 vs. Maneorix
THLNetwork vs. AshGraham99
Rocket_345 – by
Manorhowze – by
Sitorimon vs. SpikeyMikey23
Camdaz vs. beelzie14
This means that Spooferbarnabas, Tonyyeb, Death_In_Flamez, Ro6afc11, FunkyMunky, Rocket_345 and Manorhowze are all going straight through into round 2.
So there you have it, now get into the forum thread and get your races organised. That’s also where you will report your results.
Oh and good luck!

Carboy and R1M…Wow! that’s more like a final match!!!
CarBoyCam
Is R1M good? :P Just added him and ready to arrange our races. :D
freezebug2
Indeed, It should be a great match.
R1MJAW
Damn, I was hoping to get a relatively straightforward first round. This should be a very interesting start to the competition.
teflon
You can tell it was Random.org, because I got matched up with Jambo!
Ah well, it’ll be a shame to see him get beaten in the first round… :P
MadJunkBoy
haha, i was like O_o when i saw ur draw… should be an awesome race…=)
tonyyeb
Any chance I can spectate your round Teffers?! Lol
teflon
I’d be happy with that… Can you spectate in this game?
I know the results a foregone conclusion, really, so I will be going over the finish line backwards.
tonyyeb
Showboating eh?! ;)
Jambo
We shall see!
Rocket_345
Thank you god’s of random.org. I only got the game Friday (i think you could all tell in the meet aswell) so it will give me longer to unlock some stuff and practice some more. On another note i made it further than i thought. :)
Death_In_Flamez
Don’t get too comfy Rocket…you got Manor in round 2 0_e
Rocket_345
Yeah but I still make it past round 1 which is further than I predicted.
freezebug2
Good luck to Baxteros in adding that PSN name to his friends list :P
Baxteros
Ha ha, you know I thought exactly the same, hope he’s typed it correctly. 6 eeeeees in Stevo and 2 in Lapeer?
tom_lord

MadJunkBoy

Death_In_Flamez

MadJunkBoy

tom_lord
Awwwwww, what?! Ash in round 1! He beat me last night too :(
R1MJAW
Tough luck THL, out of all the fixtures there are 2 standout tough draws, you vs Ash and me vs Cam.
You know how it is though mate, a single mistake can cost the race … good luck.
AshGraham99
Awwwww, what?! THL in round 1! You beat me a few times aswell, gonna be a damn close one. Good luck to all participants aswell!
Jambo
Some very interesting first round races there, good luck to everyone who races!
cam the man
Not expecting to do to well in this tournament but it should be fun.
Manorhowze
Yaay, I got a bye in the first round. Considering I’ve only practised the head 2 heads once yesterday its probably a good thing.
Interesting match ups already so should be interesting to see who comes out on top.
Good luck all
Rocket_345
Considering you got me in round 2 you won’t have to do too much practice. Ask anyone in the group with me yesterday and they’ll back me up.
Manorhowze
You got a week to practice so dont give up on it yet. My main issue will be not crashing as its something I have gotten very good at lately.
Rocket_345
I’ve just remembered that me and you raced in the MNR touney in the second round of the tournement and you annihalted me. That’s really got me worried now. I aint counting myself out of it yet as aslong as the tracks are the same in round 2 then i’ll do ok as apart from the 1st one i’m pretty decent. I’ve also learnt that one bad corner can cost you a race so anything can happen.
