History
Dirt Track Racing 2 features the ability to run against up to fifteen opponents in Single Player, and up to nine others in Multiplayer. The game was released in 2002.
Career Mode
Players start off at the lowest classes in the game. You're given enough money to buy a pro stock machine and enough to pay for your entry fees and buy a couple of parts. You have to earn the rest of the money you get by performing well and knowing which parts to buy to keep yourself ahead of the competition. Several series are available to join, and each are different from the others. From there, it's a constant struggle as you battle the field for the checkered flag, and simultaneously try to keep your car in racing condition. Winning races will not only earn you much-needed cash, but it will also attract the attention of various sponsors. Eventually, you'll earn enough money to buy a better car and join the better series. The better the series, the tougher the competition, so it is up to you to make your name known in the world of racing.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer allows you to race against up to nine human opponents.
Tracks
The game features fourteen default tracks ranging in size from 3/8 to 2/3 of a mile in length. It also features two figure 8 tracks. Knoxville Raceway is included as well as the Terre Haute Action Track and Williams Grove Speedway. Track editors have made custom maps of other speedways. List of default game tracks:
Track editing has been very limited in this game because no new 3d models or objects could be added. Information was released describing how to edit raw files which led to additional development. This was shared first with the development team at DirtWizard and was used in the release of the first version of Bakersfield. These tracks have a detail level to where they look like an "out of the box" track that came with the game.
Another obstacle in tracks has been the conversion of those from the other games from Ratbag. Due to some formatting issues, these could not be directly converted over without some warping issues at most tracks. Finally after years of trying, all of the tracks (originals and addons) for the earlier games can be converted. In order to do this with no fear of error they will only show up for online use. Also due to those tracks being built on a smaller scale, the grip is reduced in order to slow the lap times and keep them within scale. This allowed developers to convert tracks from not just DTR and DTRSC but also from Leadfoot and even the first of the Ratbag Games, Powerslide. Many of the Powerslide tracks were converted for the NSARA Thunder Trucks (offroad racing) and the one oval from that game was converted and edited to make PA Motosports Complex.
Chassis(car classes)
Dirt Track Racing 2 allows players to choose from three different chassis by default. Players can choose to race Pro Stocks, which are comparable to modified street cars. These are the slowest of the chassis available in the game. The Generation III late models from DirtWizard actually were a grouping of late models that offered four different physics packages that were mirroring real life chassis makes.
Many leagues prefer the late model chassis because its use seems to be most prevalent over the United States. The fastest division of cars are the Concept Modifieds. Some video gamers from Australia and New Zealand play the game and they are more interested in using chassis that have been modified by editors, such as Sprint Cars. Designers have created a much more realistic looking chassis, which they call the NSDRA Generation III Late Models.
This was the third complete body redesign of the late models by this group. This particular chassis as noted above also included various physics packages for the racer to choose from. This allowed the driver to pick which suited their driving style the best. The Gen 5 late model has by far been the single most popular add on chassis for DTR2 since its release as seen with the wide use among so many different leagues. They have also created many more chassis, including one based on the World of Outlaws Late Model Series in real life, that has the same name, and is very different in handling. It was designed to appeal to the taste of the online racer that was used to the much more aggressive feel that was found in the dirt racing game mods for NASCAR Heat. Other chassis include Outlaw Dirt Trucks, NSDRA Super Stocks, Super Modifieds, Outlaw Modifieds, and many others.
