DocStrangelove 165 Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) I've found 4 of DR2's 6 locations in the database of rally-maps.com, but even though looking through all of them I couldn't find USA and Australia***. No luck with Google Maps either, but that's the needle in the haystack of course. Does anybody know where these tracks are? Here are the ones I found in the database (many of them have been used in many rallies, I'll just name one of the real world events): Argentina: Rally Argentina 2019 - SS16+18 (Copina - El Cóndor) New Zealand: Raglan Rally of the Coast 2018 - SS6+8 (Whaanga Coast) Poland: Rally Poland 2018 - Zagórze: SS12+15 (Baranowo) - Zienki: SS4+8 (Stare Juchy) Spain: Rally de España 2015 - SS11+14 (La Figuera)* Scotland: Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally 2010 - SS3 (Craigvinean)** *DR2 deviates from the original stage by turning left at 22.9km. That location has been used in a lot of rallies with some variations, but none in the database takes that turn there. **Same location, but the stages aren't identical. ***EDIT: Australia has been revealed, see posts below Edited March 22 by DocStrangelove 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those stages can be found in WRC7. The stages in Dirt Rally 2.0 are located more to the south, in Łęczna County, close to the city of Lublin where I live, which used to be a part of the Polish rally event called "Rajd Nadwiślański". Here you have the Józefów stage on cam: https://wrc.net.pl/video/rajd-nadwislanski-2018-odcinek-specjalny-7-9-jozefow Edited April 3, 2019 by danielofifi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocStrangelove 165 Posted April 3, 2019 I'm positive it's these stages. Look: Wouldn't be the only time they gave the locations misleading names. For example, Hawkes Bay is on the east coast of NZ, but Whaanga (definitely DR2's NZ stages) is on the west coast. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
N1NjAp0r0 1 Posted April 3, 2019 You can find some parts of the Australia stages in WRC 2017 Rally Australia stage called Nambucca. It got divided to two separate stages in 2018 which use the same roads but thats where I got lost. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The other stage is in the same location (they cross at that memorable point), but some of the roads aren't even registered on Google Maps even though you can see them when zooming in, so I can't use the directions function. edit: 23 min?

Pistro 128 Posted April 18, 2019 This might help. Dirt stage starts at 1:33, I don't know what it's called in game. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flens07 85 Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) It may be that many stages have real origins, but sometimes I am reminded of Dirt4. Curve combinations (Australia, Spain, New Zealand) and bridges (especially Spain) are repeating, and I can not imagine that in Spain, for example, guardrails will be on the side, but they will then be off on a sharp turn. (Sorry for offtopic) And the co-pilot was also able to pronounce a "don't cut" when inside guardrails are (hard to see). These are surely self-constructed and not reality Edited April 19, 2019 by Flens07 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pistro 128 Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) Found another onboard, from New Zealand. Yes, I watch a lot of onboards. Dirt stage starts at 0:45: And for comparison (not my video): Interestingly, if you play them both together, from the same point and at the same time, you can clearly see how much more grip there is in DR2, compared to reality. Quote These are surely self-constructed and not reality Agreed. They are there to prevent corner cutting/cheating, most probably.

Tranzitive 309 Posted August 14, 2019 from around 3:10 (video starts here) is in the game, right? pretty sure i remember those sequences of corners. but for the life of me can't remember the name of the stage in the game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocStrangelove 165 Posted March 22 Update: added Scotland. Confusingly, it actually is in Perth & Kinross, just as the game says. This is unheard of in DR2. The location is SS3 in the Colin McRae Forest Stages Rally 2010. It doesn't use the exact same stages but it's close. This location has also been used in the Rally of Scotland, but the McRae rally stage is a closer match for the DR2 stages.
