I think it looks pretty incredible as it is, what mods are you looking for?
 
I received a Dirt coupon with my 6950s (two in fact), how long does it take for AMD to verify your code and email you the Steam one?

No idea, but I'm on the same boat as you. I activated myn on Thursday, so guessing sometime next week.
 
Just completed this (main tour, 75% in stats), thoughts below:

+Feels like a decent amount of races, says ~9h45 behind the wheel which I guess translates to about 12 hours total, although I'm sure it took me longer than that (no doubt due to Codemasters obsession with intermission screens!)
+Graphically very impressive, one of the best looking games I've played, even the people near the road, trees etc look decent
+Excellent performance I ran with most things maxed generally 90-120fps
+Racing feels generally OK although maybe a little bit arcadey
+Good roadside physics in terms of destructable roadside objects/fences etc

-As mentioned above, it's annoying having to click through a dozen screens between every race
-Saved vehicle setup profiles take as long to select and apply as it does to manually change it :/
-Stupid fake purple video card artifacts when you crash, at least it's not as bad as in Batman since it doesn't look like your PC has locked up but still annoying as I was overclocking
-Felt like there wasn't enough variety of environments/tracks, I don't really feel any great desire to go back and get 1st place in the remaining events now I've beaten the main game.
-Some of the Gymkana events (typically complete xx challenges within a time limit) are very frustrating, towards the end I just skipped those events altogether
-Superseries final is way too easy, set in Monaco which is a very smooth track meaning you can get away with very low rideright and stiff suspension, I just blew them away in my Audi Quattro
-Felt like drift events were a bit underutilised, I only remember about 3 of them?
-Voiceovers felts more contrived than usual
-Graphics aside, not as good as Dirt2
 
I gave up with Dirt 3 when they released the DLC. It really annoys me that it's so in your face all over the game. You can't even complete some of the events without getting the DLC.
 
CM are the biggest rip off merchants. Release DLC within weeks of the games release and make it a requirement to complete singlepayer 100%.

In F1 2011 they break the game with an useless patch then abandon it . . . last game I buy off them :mad:

I enjoyed it enough to finish the tour, but was irritated at the constant in-your-face nature of the DLC. Yeah, if DLC is released, it's cool to integrate it in the game menus - once you've bought it. But not before you buy it.

That said, I am occasionally tempted by the track DLCs, but couldn't care less about the car packs.
