Who was the first one? I forget...

Sega Racing Studio in the UK.  Their first and last game was Sega Rally Revo/3.

Its also mediocre compared to DiRT, which was released a few months prior.

It has a dramatically more complex track deformation system though.  Actually, it was more complex than Motorstorm 1-2 as well, and wasn't bettered until Dirt 2, which funny enough a bunch of ex-SRS staff worked on. ;)

I find it funny Codemasters bought that studio. Did they get anything other than a few employees?

Nope, just the talent/tech.  SRS did have a pretty all-star staff though, with key people from Rockstar North, Rare, Criterion and (lol) Codemasters.



Oh, and for anyone wondering the gameographies for Secret Level, SRS and all Sega's other (external) satellite studios since they've been owned...
