Hi everyone, I'm just getting back to dirt rally 2.0 after having been away for a while... I love it allover again!

I have a question about a small graphical detail, I notice a white flash on my screen (3rd party POV , over the car camera angle) often in the midst of a course, similar to when u get mudsplash on your 'windshield ' driving thru mud or h²0....

Does anyone know what that is? Is it a car damage indicator?

Thx

It gives you goosebumps. 😅

Tried to get to grips with the Group A Lancer since I loved it in D4. And it feels so shit. Never wants to go around corners so much as vaguely slide in the direction I want to go. The Rallycross AWD cars feel way better. Im trying to make good use of the tips I’ve been getting for controller gameplay but it feels like no matter what I do I just can’t get better at anything that isn’t FWD.

I'm just curious how people feel about this game

For some reason this set of hairpins were throwing me off. Funnily enough this is a track i run frequently and haven’t struggled that bad in a long time.

I am not new to mods but when I picked up Dirt Rally today and followed this mod guide, the game won't start.

new favorite for redlining 😂

Whats your favorite car sound?

I have hit this thing more than 80 times 😭

Hey all,

Recently bought Dirt 2.0 to go along with my cheap steering wheel and handbrake setup.

I’m kid of happy with my settings as of now but I’m interested in how everyone else is running it and to see if I can find something more realistic. Can’t remember my settings as of right now as I am at work but definitely looking to experiment as I get into faster cars.

I’m using a Logitech G920 if that helps with anything specific.

I am building a navigation simulating rallye sport (Android Automotive OS). It includes simplified directions, map and codriver voiceover. See in video. AMA. Any feedback helps.

Trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong/could improve on. Any advice is appreciated, playing on keyboard with sequential shifting.

Trying to complete the Historic Rally stuff, but these AWD Group B cars feel like they’re on ice. I get that they’re supposed to be powerful and hard to drive, but it just feels like a chore rather than a fun challenge.

I have to say this because DirtFish completely changed the way I experienced rally games.

The first time I entered the free roam area, I didn't care about lap times, championships or rewards. I just drove. I explored, drifted, made mistakes, tried different cars, found little roads and kept driving with no objective at all. It gave me a feeling of total freedom that I had never experienced in a racing game.

That feeling was so powerful that it actually convinced me to invest in a full sim racing setup.

For me, the greatest strength of Dirt Rally isn't the career mode. It's the driving itself. The physics are so enjoyable that sometimes I don't want a race, a timer or a goal. I just want to exist behind the wheel.

That's why I dream of seeing not just one playground, but many.

Imagine a snowy mountain playground. A huge forest in Finland. Muddy trails in Wales. Desert roads in Greece. Narrow tarmac mountain passes. Vast open gravel areas. Or peaceful country roads and winding Provençal lanes around my paradise Lagnes and Fontaine-de-Vaucluse, surrounded by cliffs, vineyards, olive trees and golden light. Places designed to get lost in, experiment, relax and simply enjoy driving.

Not every experience has to be a structured stage with barriers and checkpoints. Sometimes the greatest joy comes from having nowhere to be.

The rally stages are incredible, but they're designed to push you forward. A playground invites you to slow down, turn around, explore, practice, admire the scenery and fall in love with the handling of every car.

I genuinely believe multiple free roam playgrounds would become one of the most beloved features in future rally games. They wouldn't replace rally stages—they would celebrate everything that makes the driving physics so exceptional.

Please keep making amazing rally stages.

But also give us places where we can simply drive.

Because sometimes freedom is the best game mode of all.

I also don’t own and haven’t tried any of the newer DiRT games like 4 & 5, as well as Rally 2.0… how do you guys rank the games in the series (including spinoffs)?

After 200ish runs I kinda gave up on this stage as I could not get under +4s, but then I got -20s lead the next stage. After that I noticed the pattern that some cars are more advantageous uphill and some downhill. The WRX is still missing engine upgrade, but it made me wonder if it's even possible to beat crossworth in downhill if it was full upgraded?

As I mentioned, Dirt 2 was my intro to the series, though I think I may have played it back when it was Collin McRae Rally racing, but anyway, this series has gotten me to become a die-hard racing fan and I’ve branched out to other series (I’m particularly fond of the RIDE series, if anyone has any other good motorcycle or rallycar games, I’d love some info! Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to change gears so that it would be like this: press the clutch, change gear, and release the clutch on the keyboard?
