    Will be around a week @baboonJay, depending on a few factors: Amount of applicants I believe is the highest we've ever seen Working from Home and 'My First BETA' could make the decision process a little longer while I make sure all is correct. However long it takes for me to get the list together and the right candidates. Successful applicants will be contacted via email

    Come on guys! Stop asking where the rally content is! 1) Dev letter on Monday spelled out that Dirt and Dirt Rally had split dev teams, allowing Rally to be more focused and Dirt to be more focused. 2) Dirt is not a Rally game - Dirt Rally is a Rally game. 3) If you want to be pedantic about point 2, Dirt is not a stage Rally game. 4) Dirt Rally is a serious Rally game under the Dirt franchise, Dirt was never a serious rally game. It's pure, offroad fun. Stop expecting and wanting things from a serious Rally game to be in a fun offroad game - i'll be looking to pick up Dirt 5 if i can because it looks like it'll be a blast - i'll be still eagerly awaiting the next Dirt Rally because that's where my heart is but i fully understand that Dirt games (not Dirt Rally) are not Dirt Rally games.

    And also, I’m not going to reveal anything about DIRT 5 that isn’t already out there. I will say one thing though. Did you notice the Ford Escort RS Cosworth in one of the screenshots? Wondered why the DiRT Rally 2.0 version got entirely new engine audio a year after launch? There’s your reason, new recordings 🙂

    Revealing DIRT 5 – First Next-Gen Codemasters Game, Launching from October 2020 By Chris Groves · On May 7, 2020 DIRT 5. It’s time to Let Loose. As revealed during Microsoft’s Inside Xbox show, Codemasters is delighted to announce DIRT 5, launching from October 2020 on Xbox Series X, PlayStation® 5, Windows PC (via Steam) and the current generation of Xbox and PlayStation consoles. A Google Stadia version will be released in early 2021. Codemasters Forums users: To chat with the Codies team and fellow fans about DIRT 5, head over to the game's official Discord server! discord.gg/BYGnqQB At launch, we will have a dedicated Support section for DIRT 5 on the Forums, to help players with any technical issues or topics 🙂 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Whilst respecting the heritage and retaining the DNA of the franchise, DIRT 5 writes a new chapter in the legacy of DIRT – bolder and braver than ever before. Check out the official announce trailer, soundtracked by the superb ‘Time to Dance (Sebastian Remix)’ by The Shoes: DIRT 5 is more than relentless rallying, more than suspension-shaking jumps, more than hairpins and handbrakes. Join an energised world of off-road racing, and be part of a vibe that delivers big on epic action, pure expression, and unbridled style. Now, time for some juicy info… Bursting with modes, ways to play, and concepts never before seen in the series, DIRT 5 is an overload of amplified entertainment. Dive into the ambitious Career mode, which lets you choose your path to glory as you progress through an immersive journey. The narrative features a voice cast led by the legendary Troy Baker and Nolan North, partnered by the car culture heroes at Donut Media and more famous names from the automotive world. Make your unique mark and overcome all obstacles to ensure nobody ever forgets your name. Play together in Career and offline modes with split-screen for up to four players, making DIRT 5 the ultimate playground for you to throw down, trade paint and get really sideways with your friends, either online or on the couch. Looking for a fresh way to be playful on four wheels? Take the fun to a global scene, with traditional race events and innovative modes that’ll have you hooning for miles and grinning from ear to ear. But that’s far from all it when it comes to ways to play DIRT 5. Look out for the reveal of a new mode later this year – something you have never seen before from the DIRT franchise. Travel the world to conquer over 70 routes from locations spanning the entire globe, that turn real landmarks into racetracks – from the frozen East River in New York, to the marble mines of Italy, to the Favelas of Brazil. Defy dynamic weather conditions, intimidating terrain and unpredictable elements in eight different race types, covering gravel, snow, mud, ice and more surfaces in between. Your ride of choice? Choose from a ferocious car roster that includes machines purpose-built for off-road dominance – and a few you’ll be less used to seeing off the beaten track. Our first trailer gives you a first glimpse at what you’ll take the wheel of, from extreme machines like the Ariel Nomad, to racing icons like the Lancia Stratos and modern off-road masters like the Citroen C3 R5. Oh, and each car will be visually customisable through DIRT 5’s nuanced livery editor, with more editing options than any previous DIRT game. Once you’re done designing, snap your greatest moments with a dedicated Photo Mode, capturing ever jump, scrape and slide. It’s all set in that amplified off-road world, dripping in style and giving license for you to express yourself, on and off the track. With a backdrop of infectious atmosphere and an unforgettable soundtrack, everything you do in DIRT 5 adds to the vibe. So, what will you bring to the table? Launching on the new generation of consoles, as well as current-gen, DIRT 5 makes use of the groundbreaking technology coming to console gaming. With Xbox Series X, experience heightened graphical fidelity in a hyperreal world, optimised performance no matter the mode, and unparalleled load-times for constant action. With Xbox Smart Delivery, if you purchase the Xbox One version of DIRT 5, you’ll receive the best version of it to your Xbox One, as usual. Then, if you decide to jump into the next generation with Xbox Series X, you will automatically receive the Xbox Series X optimized version of at no additional cost. Be the focus. Be recognised. Be the one to take iconic environments, dangerous terrain and incredible vehicles, and turn them into highlight-reel moments. That’s what DIRT 5 is all about. Time to make it what you’re all about, too. Join the conversation and engage with the DIRT 5 team right now through the game’s official Discord server. Of course, follow the DiRT channels on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube, where we’ll be showing you so much more of the game in the coming weeks and months – from feature deep dives, to art concepts, to peeling back the curtain on DIRT 5’s creation.

    I did a thing today. Removed front bumper and nose cone + rad support of my gf's Chevrolet Caprice. I also gave bunch of tools to my gf and told her to learn how to use those. She want's to learn and I'm more than happy to teach. She did so well today, eventually she can say that se built her car by herself. Our main goal is to get rid of that POS Oldsmobile engine and replace it with 350cid small block chevy + fresh transmission. Also that car needs some new metal (rust fixes) as some parts of it looks like it was lifted from the sea, right next of Titanic.

    Sounds good to me. A racing car engine should sound like what it is. A mass of over engineered metal parts bolted together around a continuous stream of barely controlled explosions. Highly flammable liquid is sprayed into that hellish metal couldren along with its favorite buddies, air and multiple sparks. The resultant cacophony is a chemical party gone wild screaming with almost uncontrollable power as it celebrates only inches behind your back. Vacuum cleaners need not turn up for the audition... 😎

    yeah, looks like it won't have any official connection to the World RX Championship if there's only 10 locations. Dirt 4's was more than solid imo personally, I'm most excited to be able to play 4 player split screen (in career?!). it's going to have stage rallies. chill. why would they alienate the core fanbase of the series? they haven't shown anything about it because when you introduce a new game, you first want to show off what is new and interesting about it. stage rallies being in Dirt games is like parkour and Assassin's Creed: pretty much guaranteed (Showdown excepted, and look how well that did).

    Well, the teaser was a kinda hint (color / style) the game would focus on a more fun note. If I have an impression now, It seems a bit of a mix of DiRT 3, combined with Forza Horizon. Maybe an off-road style version of GRID. Although I don't like GRID, I did like DiRT 3. So we will see. The only difference with DiRT 3, is that D3 was both serious/fun, while D5 shown as fun and a bit over the top game. For now it's not a "day one" buy for me. But that could ofcourse change when more info will be given. * Btw, funny to see the old Mustang with a American flag. Is that a subtle 😉 towards Wreckfest? Cars I did notice (bold is new) GT - Aston Martin Vantage - Ford Mustang (classic) - Porsche 911 RGT Buggy (sorry, i am not familiar with them, but noticed different styles) - Ariel Nomad - Style 2 - Style 3 Rally - Citroën C3 R5 - Lancia Stratos - Ford Escort RS EDIT: Nice to see Sean Bull Design being called in for the livery designs. He is a great proffesional artist.

    Now that they have clearly split the "DiRT" and "Rally" series, I'm wondering if they will make the DiRT Rally 3 logo, cover art and UI more "clean" and minimalistic. Something like Colin McRae Rally 3 would be on point:

    New game, new track with everyone's eye on it now. Would be the perfect opportunity for Codies to show everyone how good they can be. Would be amazing for players of other games to say "wow have you seen the new Zandfoort in the f1 game? I wish we had that version in OUR game..".

    In the same way that dirt rally 2 sucks for those that want a fun, easy to play racing game? It’s quite simple, skip this game and wait for dirt rally 3

    i am working hard, really got no time to set up the wheel and play a few hours of dr2.0 in a month, and put the wheel back to its box, because i don't have much space either. this was my empty evening. do you know how many hours does it take to downlaod 19gb over adsl? sure you do. because afterall you are codemasters right?

    If the trailer is anything to go by, I'm saying that's unlikely. But also from the blog: "The narrative features a voice cast led by the legendary Troy Baker and Nolan North" I'm tearing up. They aren't in a good place right now. I also don't know why them. I'm 100% sure Troy knows as much at cars and offroad motorsport as he does football. "partnered by the car culture heroes at Donut Media" Ugh. I hate to jump on the "dudebro" train, but that guy is rather obnoxious. Split screen is cool though, if only I had friends. Hope I can change the split direction like Grid...2 or Autosport? It's cool to have a second screen and give each their own. 70 different tracks sounds like there should be decent variety, as long it's not doing the DR thing and counting half tracks as their own location. Kind of sounds like this is what the Evo Studios guys have been working on since Onrush flopped.

    So, where or when is the announcement about 'the future of Rally' and the 'big things that boy are you going to love' yadayada?

    On gravel you can exaggerate with full throttle and sliding and therefore drifting and fighting against the centrifugal forces with full throttle, because the loose sand and dirt is scraped away, so the tyres get more grip on the firmer surface under the sand. Rear-wheel drive vehicles don't oversteer so fast on gravel, because spinning rear wheels cut a groove and get something to hold on to. On asphalt you should not overstrain the tyres because the grip decreases. This decrease in grip is not noticeable in DR.

    You could maybe make the wait useful by trying to find a bug in F1 2019 that nobody has found before then tell Codies about it. If you DID find something new it would probably help with your beta application! DISCLAIMER!! I I'm not Codies staff so that is only conjecture sorry! 🤣😎

    Don't you think that the way kerbs are located on track, its shape/elevation is what makes a difference in handling. I strongly believe it is the case. Accurate track model is essential, in my opinion.

    Nice to see the track being updated, but its still nowhere close to real life: I hope this will be addressed and improved.

    F1 have laser scanned models of all the tracks they race on, its part of the 'Grade 1' status of becoming an F1 track so they have accurate models, they require it for safety reasons, planning etc. As codemasters have the Official licence from F1 obtaining this data shouldn't have been too hard

    Hello Codemasters Team I am really surprised how much the wishes from the forum are taken into account, be it the engine sound or the wheelbase of vehicles. Yes and this game is really epic from February 2019 to May 2020 the game has been extended constantly ! 81 cars and 26 locations I would not have imagined even in my wildest dreams. Thanks also for the nice extras between through BMW M1 or Black&White Liveries or the Solberg Liveries Great surprises ! Also a big thank you to @ChristinaMc and @PJTierney who took care of all the requests and also a thank you to all the people in the forum who pointed out details of the cars and mistakes in the game. I hope the next Dirt will be as big as the last one and when Codemasters listens to the forums again it will be fantastic

    Is there an "All of the Above" option? 🙂 Personally, I like all 4 of those options, though I have to agree with TheEmpireWasRight, being able to customize the steering wheel and hud would be my top pick of the 4.
