The first track pack for DiRT 3 is here. It features eight tight and difficult stages located in Monte Carlo, where the very famous rally is held every year.
These stages will truly test your driving skills, as not only are the tracks very fast and narrow, they are also a lot more slippery than the ones in the main game. Driving without assists is more difficult, and the lack of ABS is a nightmare in those tight bends. That is why I decided to turn it on.
Apart from the changes in handling, we also get one more addition to weather conditions - fog. It does not really affect difficulty, because we can see far enough, but it sure looks nice.
I decided to include real-time gameplay this time, as replays do not fully show how difficult these tracks are.
I raced with the Group B Audi Quattro on the highest difficulty with everything except ABS turned off, and I do not have the skill to win here.
I am using the Xbox 360 gamepad, maybe I could shave off those few seconds with a wheel, but who knows. Maybe more practice would produce better results, and I did not push it to the limit, because I did not want to use flashbacks while recording. Steering at 30 FPS (I cap the framerate for the recordings to look smoother) is not so precise either, but enough excuses.
Game is rendered in DX11 at 1920x1080 with MSAAx8 and maxed out details (except for ambient occlusion, which does not really do anything except lower performance).
