While DiRT Rally has become a bona fide rally racing title, many racers in the community have been pining for circuit-based Rallycross racing. Now, Codemasters has announced that DiRT Rally will not only feature Rallycross content, but will be officially licensed by the FIA World Rallycross Championship!

In the above video, we can get a preview of the first Rallycross track to be put in DiRT Rally. Holjes in Sweden is host to the fifth stage of the FIA World Rallycross Championship, and looks to be set for the next update to DiRT Rally. Lydden Hill in the UK will also be in the upcoming update.

Three different game modes have been announced to be coming with the update, but specifics have not been named. It is known that the “Supercars” class will be part of the update, so that could add more diversity to the Rallycross department of the sim.

FIA World RX drivers have also been tasked with providing input, and their opinion on the state of the title. For a full list of what drivers said, check out the source at the bottom of this article.
