has anyone played it? if your a bit of a fan of the old Demolition derby/ Demolition derby 2 games, this will intrest you.

its a branch off of the normal Dirt series, you've got your offroad races, your gymkhana, and my personal favorite, demolition derby and knock out's.

the game does lack some certain realism, once you've been knocked out, you just go back into the ring again. the same with demolition derby. once you've been taken out, you re-spawn. a slight dissapointment. but still a bit of fun to have when you are bored

finished the game last night. was worth the money spent.

knock-out and the demo derby are the best part of the game. especially when you get up in the list of cars, the holbrook growler is probably one of the best cars for the knock-outs. but it struggles a bit when you get into the "legend" demo derbies.

if you havent unlocked that car yet, then get the Jupiter del rio and get all the upgrades for it.

as for the races, go for the Jupiter san marino. not only does it sound good, its got the most power out of all of the cars. the Janzen modified ( looks similar to a AMCA/ Dirt modified) has better handling, but you've got to constantly use nitro to keep up with anything. so go for the san marino

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
