DiRT Rally 2.0 The Old and the New Feature in Latest DiRT 2.0 Previews

Paul Jeffrey · Nov 5, 2018

Check out two new preview images from the upcoming DiRT 2.0 rally game from Codemasters...

DiRT 2.0 looks likely to fill that rallying need for many sim racing fans when it launches next year, and Codemasters are doing a fine job of whetting the appetite on build up to release with some more rather fine looking preview images from the title, this time giving us a taste of both the old and new with the wonderful MkII Ford Escort (a classic for any rally game worth its salt), and the lesser spotted Porsche 911 RGT.

We already know that DiRT 2.0 will be comprehensively covering the 2018 FIA World Rallycross Championship when it releases February 2019, but what we are less sure about is the makeup of cars that look set to feature in the title as part of the vanilla build release. Both the Porsche and Ford (who would've thought I'd be more excited for a Ford in that sort of comparison?!?) will form part of the 'Deluxe Edition' of DiRT Rally, a special pre-release version of the title that looks set to contain "the first two seasons of post-launch additional content, each with three locations (split between rally and rallycross) and five early vehicles unlocks (Ford Escort MkII, Lancia Stratos, Subaru Impreza 1995, AUDI Sport quattro S1 E2 and Ford Fiesta OMSE SuperCar Lite)". Of course, should you purchase the standard version of the title, both the Ford and Porsche should be available to purchase separately as additional DLC content.

So, who's excited then?

DiRT Rally 2.0 will release February 26th 2019.

The way I read it I think they mean that the cars are already unlocked ingame as such you will not have to buy them in game with the deluxe edition. So the cars will be available for every one who buys the game but they will still need to buy the vehicle ingame for career etc.

Wreckfest is actually great with a wheel, and it's ffb is not strong enough to damage your wheel.
I mean the handling with a wheel is really great, just like a handling of underpowered bangers. Nothing cruically wrong about that.

Yes, sorry there are some titles I could do either..... F1, Forza, Wreckfest , ATS-ETS

I was meaning more in relationship to time spent then physics

Unless you have bullet proof gear most hardware you have xxx hours before wheel, shifter, pedals gave up.

However long that is I just rather spend that time I have in the titles I mentioned
