The best parts of the random tracks are the many subtle changes, like rocks and logs placed roadside to cripple straying vehicles, fences that can hold drivers hostage off the road, and banks that obscure corners and prevent cutting. To increase stage difficulty, the narrower and bumpier track sections are favoured by the algorithm, but it also mixes contrasting track pieces: joining straights with tight corners, exploiting track camber based on approach, and using changes in elevation to hide upcoming corners. Some stages lacked variety though, with numerous moments of déjà vu because of repeated track sections. The game strives to provide visual diversity by adding or removing buildings, advertising, trees, railings, posts, emergency vehicles, and spectators. This is not a bad thing familiarity helps the learning process as you nail the tight corners. After a few hours in one location, the repeated pieces become fairly obvious, especially those that consist of multiple corners strung together. But you will see the same corner many times. You can play forever and probably never see the same stage twice. Corners, straights, crests, junctions, hairpins, dips, and everything in between are jumbled together to create each stage. The random stages are, for the most part, an excellent technical achievement. Junctions like this are used effectively by the algorithm

This is perfect for rally because you are meant to be a good adaptive driver that listens to the co-driver, not a memorizer of routes. There's an important reason for this-all the tracks are procedurally generated by a mysterious algorithm. The locations of Wales and Sweden make a return, but the great news is that none of the stages are copied from the previous games. It takes drivers across the world, from the red-clay dirt roads in Australia to the winding tarmac in Spain, to complete in long unidirectional stages. Rally is not the name of the game, but it probably should have been there is a lot of rally driving in DiRT 4. Delving into this off-road aspect of the career is hardly essential, apart from having engineers that can repair vehicle damage, but it's nice to be more involved with a fictional racing world. It's basically a lightweight team management simulator. If you are savvy enough, make a deal with sponsors and increase their payouts by completing specific objectives during events. Money is also used to improve car reliability, purchase facilities (like more garage space), and hire engineers that service vehicles between stages. Vehicles can be purchased and will provide greater event income than driving loaners. Completing events will reward players with credits and reputation. The career is long (approximately 50 hours) but the progression is excellent.

You will need to unlock licenses for subsequent championships by finishing events. Despite the breakdown, the rally component probably makes up around 80% of the career due to stage length and the number of events. Whichever handling type you choose, the career consists of three disciplines: Rally (modern-day and historic), Landrush and Rallycross. The difference between the two handling presets is not transparent but most obvious when it comes to traction and consistency simulation requires a lot more work to keep vehicles on the road. From the get-go, this racing game wants to be taken seriously, which encourages the simulation style of handling. They plainly teach drivers about straight-line braking, weight transfer, traction control, handbrake turns, and the various subtleties of the different drivetrains. This location sounds like DiRT 3's Gymkhana zone, but thoughts of those dizzying donuts will quickly fade. DIRT 4 starts by asking an important question: are you here for fun, as a gamer, or are you here for a challenge, via a simulation? Before you commit to one answer, it's a good idea to complete the Academy tutorials that take place in an abandoned industrial estate containing warehouses and shipping containers.
