Dirt Track Racing 2 announced

Infogrames has announced Dirt Track Racing 2, the next game in its popular Dirt Track Racing series. The game will let players race against up to 14 other vehicles on a variety of dirt tracks including ovals, D ovals, tri-ovals, egg-shaped tracks, and figure-eight tracks. It will feature realistic physics and graphics, 14 different tracks, and three classes of vehicles: pro stock, late model, and modified.

In addition to driving the cars, players can tweak the cars' performance by adjusting their springs, shocks, tire pressure, stagger, and other components. The game will feature an arcade mode that lets players quickly jump into any race with any vehicle, as well as a more involved career mode in which players must pay race entry fees, purchase new vehicles, make upgrades, and repair damaged vehicles. The game will also include a multiplayer mode and the option to record a race to review later and share with other players over the Internet.

Dirt Track Racing is in development at Ratbag, the Australian developer that created the previous games, and it is scheduled for release this fall. For more information, take a look at our previous coverage of the Dirt Track Racing games.
