More On: Dirt Rally

DiRT Rally, the "highest-rated racing game of 2015," rallycrosses its way to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on April 5. That's a couple months away. Developer Codemasters is sweetening the deal by adding new content to the console release. New Classic Mini and Super 1600 series will be available from the start of the game. Twenty-one advanced rally driving video guides will be built into the game. The vintage full-gravel surface at Pikes Peak will be introduced to the game for the first time. And three of Colin McRae's liveries will be available, too. Plus the team added seven extra cars from Peugeot, Renault, Opel, and Mini. See them in action in the video below.

I fancy myself more of a traditionalist when it comes to racing games. But it's a lie. I want to love Nurburging and Laguna Seca and Silverstone. But those tracks get tired after dozens of games over dozens of years. Give me something grimy and unpredictable. Give me some DiRT Rally.

Again, DiRT Rally is coming to PS4 and Xbox One on April 5.
