It is at this point where I’d like to raise a niggle and, as stated above, I always play my racing games from the front bumper camera view.

The last track to be included is the Rallycross track at Estering, Germany, which is as difficult as the rest. The Wales Rally is also there with a plethora of stages included, most of which are wet and rain covered.

The tracks included in Season 2 are that of Latvia Rx, with a circuit at Bikernieki, featuring the usual array of high speed, drifty corners and tight technical sections. The latter two cars were famous for being part of the infamous Group B rally events, where stupidly powerful cars took to the stages until it all got a bit silly and far too dangerous, banning the class in the process. Also included was the last two-wheel drive car to win a World Rally Championship, in the form of the Lancia 037 Evo 2, along with the Lancia Delta S4 Rallycross and the MG Metro 6R4 Rallycross. The cars this time around came in the form of the Peugeot 205 T16 Rallycross, the Ford RS200 Evolution, and the Porsche 911 SC RS – famous for having the engine in the wrong place and with trickier than usual handling because of it. Season Two again added six cars and three courses, but this time around there were some new Rallycross (Rx) courses added to spice things up a bit. In addition to all this though, this first season introduced a few extra liveries to use, but to be honest, with my preferred viewpoint of being nailed to the front bumper it isn’t something I felt the need to use.

Chicanes make me sad, as when you’re on the raggedy edge of a corner, holding onto grip by the skin of your teeth, and being told by the co-driver “Chicane, Right Entry” usually means that I will regain control of the car on the left hand side of the road, just in time to crash into a stack of hay bales.

Lastly in this season comes the Germany Rally – a twisty series of tarmac ribbons, with some very nasty chicanes thrown in for good measure. The Sweden Rally is again a slip-sliding riot of a course, as deep snow surrounding the stages actually makes it quite hard to crash out, as you instead bounce the car off the snow banks. However, get it wrong, drift off a corner, and you’re in a world of hurt, with terminal car damage being only one misjudged hairpin away. Starting in Monte Carlo, this track is a lot of fun, especially in something low-powered like the Mini Cooper, as with its icy bends it’s almost possible to drift the entire track, and you have a serious amount of fun doing tearing around. In addition to the cars, the three rallies added a multitude of extra stages to the game. Obviously the latter is in there, as every rally game needs an Impreza in it somewhere. The cars were iconic for rally fans, adding the Citroen C4 Rally Car, which gave Loeb such a great run of results, the Skoda Fabia Rally that was used by Colin McRae, the BMW M1 Procar Rally, the Opel Manta 400 rally car (the road going version was the first car I ever crashed in real life, fact fans!), the Ford Focus RS Rally 2007 and the Subaru Impreza. So, Season One then and this was a modest start to the journey, adding six cars and three new rallies. The new DLC that is present here initially arrived in seasons, and what I’ll try to do here is give an overview of each and what they added. Well, this has more than been addressed in the DLC route map that Codemasters set out, along with a number of new cars and liveries being added. It also promoted social distancing through ads that encouraged racers to “Stay Home” and “Save Lives”.It has to be said that the base DiRT Rally 2.0 game was well received, with this very website giving it a storming 4.5/5, but one of the criticisms that was levelled at the game early on was that there didn’t seem to be as many tracks as many people would have liked.

In fact, amid the COVID-19 pandemic Codemasters used Dirt 5, Dirt Rally 2.0, and GRID to promote mental health awareness in the United Kingdom. Of course, all these titles are pretty popular amongst players. This series, which lets players take control of rally cars in adrenaline-pumping races, has been one of the defining racing games of the past few years. These additions to the streaming services are sure to excite many players, particularly the Dirt series which is one of the more popular titles from Codemasters. Though, the acquisition did impact the release of F1 2021, which witnessed massive price hikes across multiple countries after EA’s Codemasters acquisition.

While many worried that this acquisition would alter the games drastically, it looks like Grid Legends will maintain the favorite features of the previous entries with more variety and choice offered to players. This autonomy was shown with the reveal of the next installment in the Grid series, Grid Legends, due sometime next year.
