Codemasters is today celebrating a new milestone for its critically acclaimed rally game Dirt Rally 2.0, which has recently surpassed 9 million players since launch, with an infographic that details some interesting facts and figures.
A blog post breaks down the facts:
Distance Travelled
Your millions of Stages, Time Trials and Rallycross events have seen us go quite a long way, over 1.5 billion kilometers (or to put it another way, 981 million miles).
That’s the equivalent of a single trip from the Sun to Saturn, or roughly 10 trips from Earth to the Sun. Hope you brought plenty of spare tyres.
While you were at it you completed 196 million Stages;that should hopefully be enough practice to win the DiRT Rally 2.0 World Series.
Most Popular Locations
DiRT Rally 2.0 sees players travel the world, taking in 26 wonderful and challenging locations, and you’ve all been busy to say the least.
Hawkes Bay in New Zealand is your most popular place to visit, with its smooth gravel and banked corners helping you tame even the toughest of rally cars.
The tarmac treat of Spain was your second favorite, with the terrifyingly high-speed Poland in third. You clearly like a challenge!
Most Popular Rally Cars
DiRT Rally 2.0 features over 50 rally cars spanning the history of the sport, and your favorites are mixed across a wide range of classes.
The humble MINI Cooper S is your top pick as a great beginner’s car, with the powerful Volkswagen Polo GT R5 coming up next.
Another Volkswagen, the Golf GTI 16V, is your third favourite and Colin McRae’s legendary SUBARU Impreza 1995 is your fourth.
Rounding out our top five is the Ford Fiesta R2, a modern front-wheel-drive car that rewards those that push it hard.
Everybody starts out with the Lancia Fulvia HF as it’s given to you for free, so we’ve excluded it from this list.
Most Popular Rallycross Cars
Over in the world of Rallycross it’s the World RX Supercars that you’re all jumping into the most, with the Audi S1 EKS RX quattro your top pick, followed by the dominant Volkswagen Polo R Supercar.
For those not ready to take on the 600 horsepower those cars provide, the Volkswagen Polo S1600 comes up third.
The SUBARU WRX STI Rallycross is another fan favourite, with the RX2 car, the Ford Fiesta OMSE SuperCar Lites, completing the Top 5.
As with the rally cars we’ve excluded your free “starter car”, the Opel Corsa Super 1600, from this list.
