DiRT 2 Coming To Macs July 21

“DiRT 2 is an utterly compelling experience,” said David Stephen, Managing Director of Feral Interactive. “For fans of racing games – the Mac just got a lot more interesting.”

With more than 100 separate race events DiRT 2 puts players behind the wheel for a world tour that combines sublime handling, gorgeous visuals and dynamic competition in eight different racing disciplines. From the mud-soaked Malaysian rainforest to the open desert roads of Morocco and on to the rain-slick streets of Tokyo, racers compete in a variety of contemporary sports racing styles including three special ESPN X Games. Additionally, DiRT 2 lets players experience intense multi-car and solo races in head-to-head competitive online play. 

A premiere collection of officially licensed rally cars and off-road vehicles such as the Mitsubishi EVO X, the Subaru Impreza STI, and the Colin McRae R4 are ready and waiting to race. All the vehicles can be set-up to suit the driver’s experience and racing style and with variable difficulty levels the game can be tailored to suit the skills of the individual.

When you’re pushing it mistakes will happen, but with DiRT 2 players can get a second bite at the cherry. The game’s 'Flashback' feature allows racers to repeat the last few seconds of their drive and get the chance to correct the mistake that may have cost them dearly. 

Minimum system requirements call for a 1.4GHz Intel Mac with at least 2GB RAM, 128MB or better graphics card, and Mac OS X v10.6.7 or later. The following graphics cards are NOT supported: NVIDIA 7xxx series and Intel GMA series.

Off roading - Subaru Outback - Subaru Outback Forums

Drove my Outback down to the river a few times this past weekend. Basically a service and access road but as the road progressed it got pretty bumpy and I started having negotiating particular lines to cruise up the rockier parts, staying in first for a lot of it. My buddy was following me in his truck, hes also got and an older legacy wagon so hes a ru fan, said the car looked pretty good as it flexed... Driving over the rough stuff was pretty fun and the car performed great it, was very smooth I could drive faster then he could in his truck, I was smiling the whole time. On the way back up from the river I was gassing it pretty good and the car hooked up really well in the gravel and dirt - I was flying and I finally got the rear end to come loose on the very last turn where gravel turned to pavement probably maybe going 45? idk, but before that when I got to a rather large opening I tried holding the e-brake button down while cruising at a low speed - locking the rear wheels - I wanted to test it in the event I ever need to use such that feature. It did the trick but you really have to keep holding it down... its pretty awkward... I'd rather just have a cable e-brake for sure.
