The car seems more manipulable at slower paces, which rewards more conservative driving or a focus on simply keeping wheels on the road. It’s usually found somewhere in the blend of tire choice and wear (both new to the game), surface degradation, and the weight and turning radius of the car, of course. It feels like there is more than one way to solve a 4-turn that sharpens into a 2, or those hairpins carved through bare granite in Argentina’s mountains. Sliding through the turns, I am feeling for the edges of a safe speed with every sense I have, including my ass.īut even if Dirt Rally 2.0 lives up to its namesake ancestor, 2015’s Dirt Rally, in how much it demands of the driver, I don’t find it to be tough-as-nails for the sake of it.
I was tensing up through every switchback and square turn, trying to will my Peugeot 280 R2 back from the brink of an unguarded shoulder somewhere in Spain. Each car’s handling has such a personality that their manipulation seems to extend beyond the controller’s inputs.

I take that for granted from Codemasters, whose Dirt 4 I adored and whose F1 series has become an obsession. There is more than a distinct feel to each of its 50 cars, or even how they perform on three different surfaces, whether wet or dry.
Was it yesterday’s hike? The weighted blanket I sleep under? My cheap desk chair?
This weekend I became aware of the fact that my ass was really sore, and I had no idea why.
