I guess this a dumb question but where are the other cars. i thought there would be AI cars to race against?

[WinterWarz]

are they gonna add multiplayer and cars to race against.

[Oyster]

Not a dumb question. But misled, sort of.

This game is meant to be pure rally, which means you're running against time. Codemasters decided to keep it pure this time because the DiRT series was getting more childish at each game, with DiRT Showdown being the epithome of stupidity with all that X-GAME WHOA DUDE MOUNTAIN DEW mentality and destruction-derby like races. But, gladly, they're coming back to their roots now, rally as it always should be.

So, no, you won't see any AI cars in this game, sorry about that. And there is multiplayer already, you can compete with your stage times against people all around the world through the online challenges.

There is a PVP pack coming as well as rallycross. I suggest there will be AI and multiplayer added in a later update. Check the timeline on the website.

[Oyster]

Damn. First step is rallycross, second is Ken Block asking me to upload some race videos to Youtube.

Actually, RanielyJR, you're wrong. They already have PVP on their timeline for an August 2015 release.

So yes, you will be able to race other drivers.

Yeah, dude above already corrected me.

Excellent I was wondering this as well! Thank you for providing me with the DEV timeline...I hadn't seen that yet.

I've been a fan of the DIRT series for a long time, and this version is superb. Bravo Codemasters!

... there should be AI on the normal rally stages, though. Just like in the real world...but there's no word on it, yet :(

[dodge33cymru]

Why, though? You're running an 8 minute stage at maximum, and cars typically set off 2 minutes apart - you're not likely to make up that time unless there's a catastrophic failure with a car. Admittedly, you might go off or get a puncture that costs that time and means you would see one, but that's a fairly niche need.

I would be interested in a running order in the way you can only see split times of cars running ahead of you, but otherwise I'd rather the programming work go into how the AI times are calculated instead of how they physically drive.

In my opinion rallycross is one of the more exciting things to be happening in motorsport at the moment. I welcome a more serious take on it. It's most popular in Scandinavia, western Europe and the UK, so a more "sim" take on it is hopefully likely to be rather devoid of Ken Block and his mates saying "sick" and selling you energy drinks.

Ooh yes indeedy!

I actually liked the rally stages in DiRT 2. I know they wait much longer between starts in real life but that first time I hit a hairpin and the co-driver anounced there was a wreck ahead was amazing.

Don't feel apologetic. Dirt 2 (and 3) was great fun at release. There is no comparison to Dirt Rally although many still make it to try and make a point...

I know what rallycross is but what is pvp going to be exactly?

I think is player vs player, online.
