Any details regarding Jam Sessions in Dirt 4?

I would really like to race with another friend in real time and see their car, but from what I understand there will be no ghosts/visible opponents in PVP rally. Does anyone know if that applies to Jam Sessions as well?

Codemasters has said in one of the Road books that there will be real time PVP Rallies and Jam Sessions. There is a Free Drive mode that takes place in the DIRT FISH Rally School which is really cool. So yes you can play with your friends in Free Drive and Rallies.

Here is the statement from the road book.

"One of the most requested features for DIRT Rally was PvP, and we’re bringing it back in two different flavours. You may remember Jam Session from DiRT 3, which makes its triumphant return to provide you with all of your custom lobby needs. Also back is Pro Tour, powered by a new, truly competitive ladder and ranking system.

You’ll recognise the format of our Community Events, which is the new home for your Dailies, Weeklies and Monthlies. Your Stage adds a new edge in that you can’t practice a stage for hours in Custom Event before you go for it for real. Each event is a true test of your mettle and I can’t wait to see how your mentalities shift to adapt to the new format.

Once you’ve finished the events we’ve curated, you can head over to Clubs and set some up on your own terms. We’re putting stage generation code up on DiRT4game.com so you can get the composition of a rally just right before your friends take to the track."

Hope that helps. :)

You can race in real time on PVP rally, and you are correct, there are no ghosts or visible opponents on the stage. You will just receive their split times.

Thanks for the answers. I was hoping for more concrete info on whether opponents would be visible in Jam Sessions. The only thing I found possibly confirming it was a post on steam: https://steamcommunity.com/app/421020/discussions/0/135507855753972152/. I suppose we'll find out in a week though.

Glad to help out. See you on the track. ;)
