Release Date: 07/12/2015

The “Flying Finland” update has been released for DiRT Rally which brings with it lots of new content, chief among them being the 12 new stages from Finland.

The version 0.8 update also sees the introduction of two iconic rally cars in the shape of the 2001 Ford Focus WRC and the Subaru Impreza WRC from the very same year. Another highlight of today's update is the custom championships which enables you to select the number of stages and the difficulty of AI opponents. Codemasters have released a fresh new trailer for the Flying Finland update showcasing the new stages and cars in action, check it out below.

Elsewhere, the 60's, 70's, 80's, RWD and 2010 class of cars have all had their handling characteristics tweaked. The changes include improvements to suspension and tyres and even some engine and aero enhancements.

Developers Codemasters have also added the standard array of fixes within the new update which rids the game of camera clipping, cars rolling over at the start of PVP races, odd camera angles, gear setups changing between stages and lots of other annoying bugs besides.

You can see all of the new content in the v0.8 update listed below along with all of the fixes too. Have you braved the Finnish crests and jumps yet?

New additions for v0.8 update 

12 new rally stages near Jämsä, Finland 

2 new cars – Subaru Impreza 2001 and Ford Focus RS Rally 2001 

Mouse Support! – Yep you asked for it so here it is. It’s still a work in progress so please give us your feedback on how we can improve it. 

We’ve updated the engine audio for the 1995 Subaru Impreza in the Group A class. We’d like to say a massive thank you to Ryan Champion for letting us use his awesome car for the recording! 

We’ve added a new ‘Invite Friends’ option in the lobby to make it easier for you to get the people you want into your PVP races.

V0.8 fixes 

The audio FX levels for the surfaces and kick up have been brought back so that you can hear all that gravely goodness. 

Now that they can see better they are also setting faster laps. 

We’ve made some Hyper threading fixes that should now prevent those annoying stuttering issues that some of you were having. 

Toggling Push to Talk or enabling/disabling voice communications through the pause menu is now actually working. 

Cars will no longer roll over on the start in PVP races, ROFL. 

Your PVP opponents won’t be showboating and driving around with the handbrake on anymore. 

We’ve fixed those odd camera angles that were being used in spectate mode. 

When viewing a replay using an interior camera, the speedometers now show the correct speed for all vehicles.
