Learn the ins and outs of Rallycross in Dirt Rally 2.0. Discover the cars, tracks, and strategies to dominate the competition and become a champion.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Understand the Discipline: Rallycross races are multi-car, circuit-based events. Unlike traditional rally stages, you'll be racing against AI or other players on a track, often with a joker lap element.
  2. 2
    Master the Cars: Rallycross cars are built for short bursts of speed and aggressive driving. They are generally all-wheel drive and designed for the abuse of close-quarters racing. Familiarize yourself with the different classes, from the nimble RX Lite cars to the powerful Supercars.
  3. 3
    Learn the Tracks: Each Rallycross track has unique layouts, including jumps, tight corners, and often a joker lap – a longer route that each driver must take once per race. Mastering the optimal racing line and the timing of the joker lap is crucial.
  4. 4
    Racecraft is Key: Overtaking is common, and contact with other cars is expected. Focus on clean, aggressive driving. Learn to use the slipstream and anticipate your opponents' moves.
  5. 5
    Joker Lap Strategy: The joker lap is a strategic element. Entering it at the right time can help you gain positions or avoid traffic. Generally, it's best to take it early or when you have a clear track ahead.
Tips
  • Practice on each track with different cars to find what suits your style.
  • Pay attention to your tires and car setup, as they significantly impact performance on the varied surfaces of a Rallycross track.
  • The AI can be challenging; learn their tendencies and how to counter them.
  • In multiplayer, communication and awareness of other drivers are vital for success.
  • Don't be afraid to use the handbrake for quick direction changes and slides into corners.
