DiRT Rally 2.0 is a must-have for both driving-sim and rally fanatics. It’s a fully licensed World RX title, providing you with access to the best real-life tracks and Group B vehicles the series has including Motul’s iconic BMW M1 rally car. Codemasters' excellent driving physics give the game a hugely satisfying mechanical feel, and the visual clarity on both cars and landscapes are simply stunning.
