DiRT Rally 2.0 DiRT Rally 2.0 Full Car List Reveal

[Paul Jeffrey]

Codemasters have revealed the full car list set to feature in DiRT Rally 2.0 when it releases this February.

The full 50 strong list of vehicles for DR2.0 contain some very impressive manufacturers indeed, featuring a nice mix of historic and modern machines alongside of course the official 2018 FIA World Rallycross category within the game - no less than 12 different Rallycross cars across multiple classes of the series will be present in the title at launch.

As well as the full car list confirmation below, players purchasing the Deluxe Edition or the Day One Edition will also receive the Porsche 911 RGT, with the car then becoming a separate DLC 60 days after the game launches. Furthermore, Codemasters have confirmed additional "seasonal" content will be added to the sim at a later date.

1st gen Ford Focus.... and also the Celica GT4 to go up against the Delta and Escort cossy would be awesome.

Sadly that's probably not gonna happen because Toyota has some kinda licencing dissagreement with Codemasters. That's why there were no Toyotas in DiRT Rally or DiRT 4

Hei Martin,
it´s been a long time and i can´t really remember all the setting. I have a OSW, so i´m used to play with all the steering settings. In the end it felt okay, but never great.

Damper settings can make a big difference in some titles with the OSW as they may rely on certain Direct-Input effects conveyed through Dampening as in RR and ACC, just to name a couple.

From all my testing with both the OSW (SimuCube) and the AccuForce, the best FFB I ever achieved in the Dirt titles was with AccuForce and SimCommander Telemetry-based FFB. Of course, we don't have that option with the OSW although, I and a few others did urge that such support be added by the people of Granite-Devices (as SimXperience offered) but, they declined for one reason or another.

That old DS 21 certainly made me curious, along with the GT4 cars. There are some major absences (037, Manta; seems like nobody truly mastered RWD Group B's) and other cars that I wish they considered, like the 124 Abarth which would be another interesting contender in the fresh GT4 group. Don't really mind the lack of WRC stuff, but hopefully the DLC will further improve the car and track (?) rosters. Just preordered the Deluxe edition, now I just hope this game will be good. DiRT 4 didn't do it for me and refunded it almost immediately, losing a good bunch of my trust on Codemasters. Final chance.

You left out SLRE, an essential title when talking about licensing. Lots of rarities (Group S, historics, Suzuki, Proton, Toyota and more) not to mention plenty of modern cars.

Yup, SLRE is a little oddity in it, however - remember that of the newer WRC cars in the game, many of them are from previous, official WRC games made by the same company. Group S cars were never raced in real life.
I would also like more unique cars, but you'd need them to fit in with the other cars as well imo.

So something like Lancia 037 Rally and Opel Manta I guess, although I've got a range of unique or unrallied cars that I'd like to see.
.

As you say your self, unrallied cars. Would be hard to make properly. However, some of the rather slow Gr.B cars you have mentioned would be cool, but they would be mostly un-used in the game.
The RX7 Gr.B was RWD, and would be a better fit in a Gr.B RWD class, than taking a more unofficial 4WD car.

Sadly that's probably not gonna happen because Toyota has some kinda licencing dissagreement with Codemasters. That's why there were no Toyotas in DiRT Rally or DiRT 4

Toyota have pulled from more games as well, e.g Forza Horizon. It's not just with Codemasters.

The DS21 is interesting indeed. I used to own one, but got conned by some family members, so I don't have it anymore. But I am really looking forward to try it!
Agreed with GT4. I would rather see the Abarth, 370z and a Ferrari (used a bit in Spain), as they have been used more than the two US cars. But I am looking forward to the GT-class!

DLC will most likely give us a total of 4 RX tracks, and 2 rally-countries.

Puggg.... The best car and they have forgotten...... Codemasters, please before sell new dirt rally, give more dlcs for dirt rally original, for free!!...

Lancia 037 (L)

 

[raiod]

No RVs, no buy.

 

[Case_]

Damper settings can make a big difference in some titles with the OSW as they may rely on certain Direct-Input effects conveyed through Dampening as in RR and ACC, just to name a couple.

The reason I asked about the damping is because Dirt Rally FFB relied on damping effect to a fairly large degree, so I have a personal theory (based on what I've seen people mention on the internet over the years) that many people who complain about bad FFB in Dirt Rally are in fact those who blindly set damper to 0 in the wheel's control panel, because somebody (who didn't understand how it works) told them they're "supposed to" if they want a better and "more pure" FFB

But I really can't comment on OSW or direct drive in general, setting them up for each title seems more like black magic

Toyota pulling out from Forza and other games is fairly recent, but they've had some disagreements with Codemasters for several years now

Codemasters, please before sell new dirt rally, give more dlcs for dirt rally original, for free!!...

How about a free DLC for DiRT 3, while we're at it?

 

[Helldriver]

It´s really not that bad. For sure it takes some time, to get used to the new system and software but after that, it´s like before. Turn everthing on, take a seat and off you go. Absolutely no black magic involved. I hope you´ll get to try a OSW for a few hours or days in the future.

The black magic comes in when tuning game-FFB settings in CM titles - otherwise, the wheel-driver settings are very simple with the OSW. SimCommander tuning seems more complex than it is but, the fundamental settings are the same as other wheels but, it has additional effects for use with the Telemetry-based FFB option (Great with CM titles) but, can also be used to enhance, boost or filter certain effects in various ways. iRacing is a good example where telemetry-based FFB can be used to improve under-steer feel and provide surface texture to the FFB.

 

[dgeesio]

ideally for higher end gear you should have great default settings. too many people overtweak stuff. you basically buy highend sim gear for realism and build quality. it doesnt make you any faster though.

Seems like Red Bull/FIA/Whoever didn't like having anything "WRC" named in DiRT Rally.
Maybe because it's also the official Monster Energy WRX game, maybe they are afraid that the WRC-series will sell less because of it, idk. What's pretty obvious though, is that it isn't exactly Codemasters choice.

But in Dirt 3, you had Monster and Red Bull ads together in the game (ex. Citroen C4 WRC and Ford Fiesta RS WRC), and it wasn't an official WRC game.

That's not anything that Red Bull nor Monster have anything to do with though. Also, DiRT 3 wasn't a rally game either, and wouldn't compete directly with the WRC-series.

However, DiRT Rally (and DiRT 4) is the official Monster Energy FIA World Rallycross game. While at the same time, Red Bull is the promoter for WRC. That's a major clash.

 

[omanrak]

I only see a handful of cars, because we know they will handle much the same.

 

[Raymond 18]

So something like Lancia 037 Rally and Opel Manta I guess, although I've got a range of unique or unrallied cars that I'd like to see.

...

• Ferrari 288 GTO Evoluzione(okay, that license name alone would be expensive)
• Mazda RX-7 4x4(Mostly brain child of Achim Warmbold as Mazda Japan at first had nothing to do with the Mazda Rally Team Europe. In other news, I NEED THIS CAR. A Rotary-powered Group B Rally Car!)

Wow, I think I spent quite a lot of time to research and write all of this. But there you'd have it, interesting and unique cars(which would be hard to create since they are so unique).

Especially these two cars will be great to drive. Even in a future DLC!

But for my part some cars are always missing (historic rally & raid I mean) :

• DAF 55
• Hillman Imp (you can verify, it was a contender in the Monte Carlo rally!)
• Nissan 240 RS
• Talbot Samba
• Tatra 815 Dakar

We can still and just hope I'm afraid...

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

well, by that measure (you can verify, it was in the Monte ...) the East Germans beloved Trabant is missing as well and I'm only speaking for myself here, I don't think I'm missing it that much ...

 

[Thomas Lambaerts]

Nooooo my beloved Lancia 037. I absolutely love that thing. It is my single most used car in D4. And I think in DR it was second behind the group A Delta.

I don't get the hate for the gt4 rallycars. They are modern rwd rally beasts. What's not to like? Don't we all like the old rwd stuff, so why not the new ones?

 

[Rob Every]

For me in the original DR game

My faves cars were the GpB rwd cars, just not the 037 on asphalt as I felt there was something wrong with the physics, it would just snap oversteer at times, something the real car never did.

The Manta was a joy.

The 70's cars were great fun as were for me the 60's and kit cars

The GPA era was ok with the Lancia, and the Escort but the Subaru had weird gearing as did the Sierra Cosworth that even in Finland you couldn't get anywhere near the red line.
The R5 Turbo should have been in with the GpB cars as it rallied then, not with the rwd machines form the 90's.

The car lineup looks OK, the Manta has been replaced by the Ascona 400 which is fine, but I would prefer to see some other odd cars likethe Nissan Sunny Gtir, the Starion, a proper GpA Lancer. A Lotus Cortina in with the Mini and Fulvia, and perhaps an old Datsun Violet.

If they are going with Citroen DS21, that hardly even rallied let alone should be int he game, cearly a weird arrangement with Citroen going on

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

It's not even called a Citroën, only a DS. And it won Monte Carlo 1966. I guess it is some "DS-name heritage" deal.

 

[Rallycameraman]

Have to disagree with you there. The cars have different feel through the FFB.
