Dirt Rally 2.0 Announced Promising New Vehicles and Better Tracks

Codemasters has today announced Dirt Rally 2.0, a new entry in their series, a spin-off from their Colin McRae Dirt games. In a report from VG247, the developers promise the addition of long-requested off-road vehicles and six locations, including Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Spain, Poland and the US.

The Dirt Rally series is the official game of the FIA World Rallycross championship and includes cars and recreated tracks from the competition. This time around, again as reported by VG247, the tracks will be hand-crafted rather than procedurally generated.
