Dirt Track Racing 2

[superjames1992]

I'm just curious if any of you all still play this? I am looking into purchasing this as I used to love the original Dirt Track Racing game that came out in 1999. I must have lost it sometime over the last few years.

Anyways, I'm looking into purchasing Dirt Track Racing 2 off Amazon for about $7 or so. Is the game still worth playing? I love NR 2003 and all it offers, but it would be nice to have a dirt track racing game.

Thanks.

It's a solid game. Good fun. But if you can find a copy of Ratbag's World of Outlaws Sprint Cars for the PC (released around 2002 or 2003), grab it in a second. PHENOMENAL game -- the best dirt-track racing game ever.

I see that the Sprint Cars game came out before Dirt Track Racing 2. It was the second in the three-part Dirt Track Racing series (DTR, DTR Sprint Cars, DTR 2). So you would recommend picking up the Sprint Cars one as opposed to DTR 2?

Of course, as cheap as they are nowadays, I could just get both.

Get dtr2. It is awesome and there is a ton of people who still play it online. Our league has been averaging 30 cars a race this season which is the most in our history since we started 6 years ago. If you want it for free there is an iso of it at www.ifrt-dirtracing.com and I think they also have WOO 2002 there. WOO 2002 actually has better graphics even though it was released slightly before dtr2...WOO is a great game if you like sprints but there is very little customization which is the main reason hardly anyone plays it online now. dtr2 there are still new tracks and cars coming out so it has stayed kicking over the years.

Man, thanks so much for that link. Great source of information and downloads!

Thanks for the help, guys.

Just one question: Do you all know if the game works with Windows Vista?
