Eduardo Veigas's car appears as a base car in the game Colin McRae: Dirt, something that no other Portuguese driver has ever achieved. To ensure realism in the game the software developers asked for more than 10 Gb of pictures, a detailed list of the car's setup, and reports of the car's behavior on the track. This process took more than two years. Eduardo Veiga Colin McRae Dirt
