DLC #211 - Dirt Rally 2.0 - Season One

Cruising straight from the Platinum trophy and into the first dose of seasonal DLC drip-fed throughout the game's life cycle.

Dirt Rally 2.0 was supported by a host of post-game content gradually fed into the game on a bi-weekly basis for a set period of time, with each overall batch of content referred to as a "Season" - So here we are with Season One.

Season One adds Monte Carlo, Germany and Sweden Rally locations into the game, as well as the Citroen C4, Skoda Fabia, BMW M1 Pro Car, Ford Focus RS and Subaru Impreza vehicle options.

Alot of the content released across the seasonal packs has been carried over from the original Dirt Rally lineup, which is a little bit cheeky given the fact this is arguably heavily recycled content just locked behind a paywall. The successor of a game that you already purchased is effectively charging you to have it present as playable content in the sequel.

Either way, it does also add 4 trophies to the overall list, and this is one of the easier packs to complete.

Earning a podium finish in the Citroen C4, completing a stage at Monte Carlo and completing any event in the BMW M1 Pro Car all grant individual trophies and can be comfortably earned within 30 minutes of active play. You won't even need to purchase the vehicles with credits, as they'll be readily available to race upon purchasing the Season One content.

The "Rock 'n' Roll" trophy, awarded for Driving 66 km at Monte Carlo in the DS 21 is a little bit more time consuming. I set up 10 stages of a custom Championship to reach the total mileage accumulation required to unlock this trophy and managed to earn it at the end of the 9th stage. This took around an hour or so of casual driving.

You only need to use 3 different vehicles across just the Monte Carlo stage, and you can comfortably unlock all 4 trophies in well under 2 hours. There is even potential to mix and match some of these trophies to make it an even quicker completion should you so desire.
