Exec producer Gavin Raeburn leaves Codemasters

Man responsible for racing reboots moves on
Executive producer Gavin Raeburn has left Codemasters after successfully helping to reboot a number of the publisher's racing franchises, including Dirt and Grid.

"Following the recent success of the award winning Dirt 2, it's positive for any individual to move when they feel they're at the top," Codemasters' vice president of development, Gavin Cheshire, said in a statement.

He did a really good job and is a stand up guy. I'm sure they'll miss his input a lot in the coming years.

good riddance. he messed up toca and mc rae. hopefully polypohny isnt his next port of call to ruin my other favroite racing franchise....

I agree with Collyboy, this guy helped ruin Colin McRae and Toca so his leaving of Codemasters can only be viewed as good news. I can't see these games moving back to their glory days in the foreseeable future, so his 'legacy' will stink up these arcade racers for years to come.

I liked his 'Gothik' c64 music from the game in the 80's though.

I had no idea he was at Codemaster's i must admit.
All i remember him for was some half decent game tunes on the commodore 64.
