DiRT Rally 2.0 DiRT 2.0: Season 2 DLC Content Confirmed for June 4th

[Paul Jeffrey]

The next wave of DLC content for DiRT Rally 2.0 will begin this June 4th.

Working to a schedule that sees post release DLC content released for DiRT Rally 2.0 in an often slightly confusing "season" format - Codemasters have confirmed that the "season 2" batch of new cars and rallies will begin to release from June 4th.

Set to have a focus on the World Rallycross aspect of the title, season 2 will add two new locations in the form of the Wales Rally and German and Latvian RX circuits and six new cars, spread across 11 weeks beginning June 6th with the mighty Peugeot 205 T16 Group B Rallycross car and the iconic Ford RS200 Evo. Oh an a special livery too...

The full 'Season 2' DLC launch schedule can be seen below:

Alongside this new DLC confirmation, Codemasters have also recently deployed both the big 1.4 game update, and a new hotfix aimed at addressing the Force Feedback complaints of the DiRT 2.0 community. You can find out more about the FFB update HERE.

“Season Two is a perfect blend of new and old and there is something here for everyone,” said Ross Gowing, Game Director. “Fans will be thrilled at the return of the Group B rallycross cars and we’re excited to give our community two new circuits in Latvia and Germany.

Although our primary focus for Season Two is on rallycross, we haven’t forgotten our rally purists, and we know from fan feedback how much they love taking on the tough Welsh terrain and what better way to do it than in Ryan Champion’s Porsche 911 SC RS.”
​

Players who bought the Deluxe Edition will receive all content as part of their Season Pass. Similar to Season One, players who own the Day One or Standard Edition will have the opportunity to purchase each season and piece of content separately on their digital store of choice.

DiRT Rally 2.0 is available for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC now.

I would say Season 3 is a safe bet at this point. I mean we basically got the 2001 Impreza promised, and they have apparently also been re-recording audio for the 2001 Ford Focus recently, and I think one other car.


I'm almost certain the car you miss is not the Impreza 22B It's a widespread mistake, but 22B was never a rally car. 22B was a limited edition road car based on the 1997 Impreza WRC.

(And as for the car you miss, you are probably thinking of the "bugeye" 2001 Impreza WRC.)

I am talking about ths car....

 

[Martin Larsen]

Yay, more rally location that is just a port from Dirt Rally 1, so we pay for it for a 2nd time and still need luck to use it since still just 6 rounds each season in career mode

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

unfortunately, the Estering track is not part of the wrx anylonger as far as I know. WRX is close too die out

I know, but Dirt 2.0 reproduces the last season, so it should be Estering. Since it will be out in sumer and I won't buy before autumn, I will make sure it really is Estering

 

[SecretLaser]

This game is ****ing joke, instead of release 100%, we get 50% of game in price of 100%
**** THAT.

That car (the Impreza 1997 WRC) is already in the game. Well, the model from previous year, but there's little difference.

 

[testdriver77]

Sorry but i dont know what you want to say.
I just wrote that it would be nice to have the 2-door Impreza (yes, the 22b like) and you first talking about the bug-eye model and now you say that there is already an Impreza (1997) in the game.

Thats nice but this are two different cars what you have mentioned. I know that there is an Impreza in the game but its from 1995 and a 4-door model. So i dont know whats the problem.
Fact is that the 2-door Impreza from McRae is not in the game....

 

[Case_]

No, the 1997 McRae Impreza S3 is not in the game. The 1996 McRae Impreza S2 is and the differences are not very significant between the two cars, as stated, so it's quite unlikely the S3 will ever come to the game. Even the body was essentialy the same, sans some minor facelift and going from 4-door to 2-door, which basically only resulted in the front door being a bit longer than before.

@cossi75 Your point being?

 

[testdriver77]

According to the description in game its an 1995 Impreza.
Anyway, generally every additional car is good for the game.....

 

[cossi75]

@cossi75 Your point being?

This is the Prodrive WRC of 97, which he probably means

Well, the 95/96 versions are Group A while the 1997 is the first breed of cars developed under the WRC rules, which means wider wheel track, hence the wider arches compared to their road going counterparts. Not a massive difference but I see why people would want the wider WRC Impreza(that is supposedly coming) over the Grp A one.

Germany DLC is on Steam.

Germany DLC is on Steam.

Germany tarmac feels miles better than Spain. Nothing actually changed physics wise, it's just something odd that isn't really working with the cambers in Spain.

It also looks bloody gorgeous. The color palette is much more natural than in DR

 

[Case_]

I'd say the tarmac has more grip than in Spain (which I guess makes sense, since the Spanish tarmac is quite different, even IRL). But it's messing with me constantly, especially since the surface looks rather dusty, and it also had less grip in the original DR. So I seem to approach the corners like a lower grip corners, and halfway through the corner I realize my intended line won't work and I'm turning in more than intended (or sliding less than intended)

I always preferred gravel rallies, but for some reason, Germany was quite consistently where I was fastest in the original DR. So it will take some adjusting
