DiRT Rally 2.0 is considered by many to be the Dark Souls of racing games, but beneath that reputation lies one of the most rewarding driving experiences you'll ever find.
If you're new to the game and are looking for the ultimate beginner's guide, I'm here to help.
In this tutorial video I'll be showing you the best place to start, providing some basic tips to get you underway, and then we'll finish with the next steps on your rallying journey.
DiRT Rally 2.0 is a difficult game to master, but it also rewards you for putting in the effort, as every time you succeed you know it's down to what YOU have done and how YOU have progressed as a driver.
That feeling is why so many people come back to the game every week, as the driving experience is great when you get the hang of it.

This video seriously helped me. I just got the game yesterday, and was struggeling a lot. Of course I went for a too fast car to begin with, I think I jumped into the Sierro Cosworth first. That was a misstake i quickly realised. After watching this video I tried my hand on some rallycross in the Corsa 1600, and had quite a bit of fun. After that I got a Fiesta R2 or whatever it's called and tried rally again, and it was like a compleatly different game. So much fun! So thank you!

Really like this video PJ. I feel myself not much a beginner anymore however there's a lot of good tips and info in this. The hardest thing for me to figure out was the car progression, and I wholly agree with going the R2-NR4 route. I would also suggest if the person has access to the DLC cars, trying out the Up to 2000cc cars as they have lower repair costs and still make a decent amount of HP to give someone a better idea of what the faster cars feel and act like and there's a bit of a better selection of cars than just the NR4s Evo and Subarau, also a really good starting point after R2. Appreciate the video, and really well made.

@PJTierney 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the kind words 🙂 For this video I wanted to avoid mentioning DLC cars initially, since new players may not have them (like all those from PlayStation Plus). The 2000cc Class is just as good a pick as NR4/R4, and has more variety too, a solid recommendation. As for tips that may help a slightly more experienced player, I'm working on that video now 😉

Something I didn’t realize right away is the daily and weekly challenges don’t give you your full credit rewards until after you launch the game again after the challenge has ended.

Yeah, they asked if they could use one of my designs as a background 😃 Group B cars are all about patience. Longer gears helps, but your main concern is turbo lag. You'll want to briefly hit the clutch out of slow corners to spool up the turbo so that it doesn't surprise you when it kicks in.
