Trivia / DiRT

Go To

  • California Doubling: Fans worked out that the supposed "New England" stages in Rally 2 are actually based on nearby roads and trails to the Dirtfish free roam location in Washington state. Presumably the location change was to allow the graphical flourish of orange autumnal leaves on the trees.
  • Distanced from Current Events: Colin McRae died in a helicopter crash along with his son and 2 other people the day after the first DiRT was released in the UK. Out of respect, Codemasters withdrew their advertising campaign for the game.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: A number of entries from the franchise have been pulled out of circulation, most recently DiRT 4 and the original DiRT Rally.
  • In Memoriam: To real-life driver Colin McRae, who did a lot of the consulting on car handling for earlier games.
  • Role Reprise: Nicky Grist returned in DiRT 4 to serve as one of the game's English-language co-drivers, years after he lent his voice in Colin McRae Rally 2005.
