I honestly have no idea if it's Codemasters altering the map a bit to their purpose, or if the roads are actually there (or have been when CM visited). I have done a rough suggestion where the stages actually are which you can view by clicking the link above - it seems to mostly check out, except there are some (few) parts where there are no roads according to Google maps. I can't even tell you how much time I spent on this, including studying where the sun sets and so on to help me locate the stages, before the sudden realization. I've been scouring maps of the East coast forests and areas, thinking the "New England" part is at least somewhat accurate.only to finally realize that Dirt 4 prominently featured the DirtFish rally school located in Twin P.Snoqualmie, Washington, and it would only make sense if the US stages were actually located somewhere in that area. In the retrospect, the answer seems very obvious and probably should've been, but hindsight is always 20/20, as they say. Notes: The "New England" stages have by far been the most difficult to locate. Real life stage: Forest area near Snoqualmie, WA - Suggested routing of the stages In-game name: Valle de los Puentes a la inversa Also, please note that I am aware of the fact that in-game stage lengths and real-life stage lengths do not align perfectly - I did not see much sense in trying to pinpoint the exact spots, plus it wouldn't guarantee a perfect match anyway. But as there really only are two stages per country that do not share roads (and if, then only short sections), I'm only including those two stages here, and I am including them in the direction the stages were apparently last ran in real life. And each of these four stages is then further divided into two short stages, giving us the total of 12 stages per country. The two stages are raced in both directions (which is often done in real life as well), which makes four long stages per country. Note that the game basically features two long unique stages per country. I will try to include more stages in my post as they are released. Also, some of the stages in the game haven't actually been used for several years in real life rallying, so you have to locate them not just in space, but in time as well, so to speakĪnyway, I've managed to locate basically all of the stages currently available in Dirt Rally 2 (including DLC, but that's not so difficult as it's just been stages from the previous game so far, so plenty of info on those) and here they are. However, it made it a bit more challenging to locate the actual real-life locations and stages, because on more than one occasion, they use real location names, but the real-life stages are actually located in a different part of the country completely, and to make things more confusing, the location names used in the game might even be tied to some rally competitions. As you might be aware, unlike some other rally games, the original Dirt Rally featured recreations of real life stages, and you could look at some of the roads and location in say Google Street View.
