Hey, dirt racing is fun, man!Less dirt, more glossy road and race cars.
Especially rally style,if you love rally it can be much more fun than circuit racing and you can do a little bit of pavement ,snow and dirtSlightly off-topic, but does anyone remember the game Saturday Night Speedway? This reminds me of that.

SNS was a classic for any dirt track fan!Slightly off-topic, but does anyone remember the game Saturday Night Speedway? This reminds me of that.

Here's an idea: play through Saturday Night Speedway, then, once you're done with that, move on to NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona. That's the closest you can get right now.Dirt track racing = one of the most under-represented forms of racing in video games. Glad to see it finally getting some serious representation.
Still wish there would be a dedicated oval racing sim that would go, both on asphalt and dirt, from 4cyl Mustangs and Civics to NASCAR-type cars and Sprint Cars and everything in between. They wouldn't even need to have any real life tracks. Guess iRacing is the closest we'll ever get to that.
That's what they look like.Looks great. But what on Earth is going on with that #5 car's rear tire?
iRacing is also making a winged and a non-wined sprint car, and a dirt Legends car.You know, I read cars like dirt late models, dirt street stock, and even the Ford Fiesta RS WRC to be included in the future for iRacing. Same goes for the likes of Eldora and Williams Grove Speedway. This should add a good bit of diversity in tracks.
On PS3 there was also World of Outlaws Sprint Cars.If you want proper dirt track racing some Australian guys did some very good games back in the day:
· Dirt Track Racing
· Dirt Track Racing: Sprint Cars
· Dirt Track Racing 2
· Saturday Night Speedway
· Sprint Cars: Road to Knoxville
· Sprint Cars: Showndown at Eldora
And they also did a fairly fun oddball: Leadfoot (realistic stadium offroad racing!)
DTR2 is my favourite. You only have 3 classes of cars but can race both in ovals and figure-8 tracks and is also the most realistic. Also, gotta love the "unrealistic" shapes of some of the fantasy ovals (sharp egg, rectangle, etc.)!
On PS3 there was also World of Outlaws Sprint Cars.
That one was basically a remake of DTR:SC, which is my least favorite game by them. Dirt track racing with cars is a lot more fun because you can actually make a bit of contact. Open-wheel dirt racing is rage-inducing because contact screws you easily and also because gotta hate that stupidly short wheelbase with the grippy tyres!On PS3 there was also World of Outlaws Sprint Cars.
I have no idea. It might but i always used DS3 controller.I remember playing the crap out of that game. Is it compatible with wheels? Last I tried it was with a pad but now I got my G27 and after throwing a rally car around in GT6 and husling a Dakar Rally vehicle in Dirt 3, I'm looking to see if I do have some fun in it.
