Killarney International Raceway, South Africa – Available Now in DiRT Rally 2.0

DiRT Rally 2.0 Season 4 is here and a whole host of thrilling Rallycross content is coming your way over the next few months. First up it’s the fast and technical Killarney international Raceway.

The Killarney circuit is located in Cape Town and was added to the FIA World Rallycross Championship calendar in 2017. The inaugural race was won by Johan Kristoffersson for PSRX, after the notably action-packed Semi Finals and Finals. It was also the scene of the thrilling 2019 Championship decider between Timmy Hansen and Andreas Bakkerud.

If you’ve been around the simracing scene for a while you may have head of JSR Devon, the South African creating many entertaining videos about all sorts of racing games. Earlier this week he got to try out his home track in DiRT Rally 2.0 and needless to say he’s excited about its inclusion, check it out above. Once you’re done, have a look at how the track compares to a real-life onboard run, courtesy of our friends at the FIA World Rallycross Championship.

See Colin McRae’s 1995 SUBARU Impreza at Prodrive

When people mention Colin McRae, the first thing that comes to mind are his daring days behind the wheel of a SUBARU Impreza. Prodrive, the British motorsport and engineering firm, played a significant role in the development of many championship-winning SUBARU cars, including Colin’s 95 Impreza which you can drive in DiRT Rally 2.0.

If you’re in the UK over the coming months be sure to head down to Banbury, as this very car (amongst many other fine machines) is on display. BBC Top Gear presenter and general “I have a dream job” person Chris Harris has been taking it for a spin too, and that’s a video I definitely want to see in the future.

That’ll do it from me this week, see you all again soon!
