DiRT Rally 2.0 – World RX in Motion

Codemasters has published a new teaser video showcasing some impressive in-game rallycross action as featured in the DiRT Rally 2.0 title which will become available next month.

Alongside all the traditional rally content in the career and historic rally modes, Codemasters have once more put a lot of effort in the Rallycross section of the game. After all, the Dirt Rally franchise is, in essence, the official game of the FIA World Rallycross Championship.

At release, DiRT Rally 2.0 will feature eight tracks from the 2018 FIA World Rallycross Championship, including some brand new locations to the series such as the Belgian Mettet circuit, the British Silverstone rallycross track, and the Spanish Circuit de Barcelona – Catalunya RX layout.

Fans of the franchise will be happy to hear that they will be able to compete in four different rallycross classes being the official FIA World Rallycross Championship Supercars, RX2, RX Super 1600s, and RX Crosskarts. DiRT Rally 2.0 will add three new Supercars to the franchise including the GC Kompetition World Rallycross team’s Prodrive-built Renault Megane RS RX, the Audi S1 EKS RX Quattro, and 2018 FIA World Rallycross Champion Johan KristofQuattros PSRX Volkswagen Polo R Supercar.

The Rallycross part of DiRT Rally 2.0’s will also be featured in the online multiplayer mode giving players the opportunity to race wheel-to-wheel with their peers in eight-player online sessions. Furthermore, a brand new Rallycross Championship mode has also been added to the game where players will be able to compete in full heats, a semi-final and the final structure of an official FIA World Rallycross event.

Paul Bellamy, Senior Vice President of IMG Motorsports, the promoters of the FIA World Rallycross Championship, said: The partnership with Codemasters gives us the chance to inspire the next generation of World RX drivers through our engagement with Codemasters’ vast gaming community. With the release of DiRT Rally 2.0, which features eight FIA World Rallycross tracks, we are able to provide players with more world-class rallycross content than ever before.

 

The innovations Codemasters have brought to the game through enhanced visual effects and the introduction of weather conditions, and the Joker Lap, really does put fans firmly at the heart of the action.

 

Jonathan Bunney, SVP of Publishing at Codemasters said: Working so closely with IMG and World RX has enabled us to create our most accurate WRX experience. Working with official reference data from tracks, having close relationships with race teams and close access to the incredibly talented drivers gives us amazing insight into this really exciting and accessible sport. We are extremely pleased to have eight of the World RX tracks in the game, with more to come in the post launch service.
