- Adaptation Displacement : Some non-British gamers seriously thought that Colin McRae is a fictional racer made up by Codemasters to help market their series...
- Growing the Beard: Though it's still a matter of debate which of the installments is the overall best, it's generally acknowledged by critics and fans alike that the series only kept improving as time went on. 2.0 and 04 were seen as particularly successful refinements of the existing formula.
- Older Than They Think: This was not Codemasters' first attempt at a rallying (or rallycross) simulatornote , but at least they did things right with improved hardware in these games.
- Sequel Displacement:
- The first game is somewhat less known than the second (which itself was a Surprisingly Improved Sequel).
- And then there's the whole Broken Base debate about the Sequel Series DiRT. Some think it could be a decent Creator-Driven Successor or Even Better Sequel. Others blame it for being too much of a Sequel Difficulty Drop, or even betraying the feel of the original series.
