Sorry, I'm honestly not sure how long it is. It's hard to see in the career mode because you can't scroll past what you've unlocked.
Maybe someone else here has an idea?

Has Multiplayer been patched yet with private lobbies and an increase in party size, can't belive that wasn't in there day one
I've been waiting for a sale but this post made me want to drop $60
Maybe not Black Friday but probably very soon. Codemasters always heavily discount their games within a month of release, so as good as this game may be I don't see the point in buying any of their games full price anymore when they do this.
I've got the physical version and just about to jump in, after spiderman. Is another patch due soon? I heard the Dualsense trigger stuff was being worked on so id rather wait to play the patched version, if it's coming soon.
Here's my 1st place race on one of them if it's any help to you. Stay Left at all times is my advice.
Between 10-15 hours to 3 Stamp all Events on normal difficulty for me. (20 hours for the platinum trophy more or less). It all depends on how much you care about getting all 1st place finishes, of course. You could fly through the career in about 5-6 hours if you just want to get to the end. You can also set the difficulty to Easy in the options to make it even shorter.
Just wanted to say that I adore the games sound design on PS5. There's an in game 3d audio toggle that is separate from the audio type (head phones, home theater, etc.) and it really works great on both my atnos sound system and my Sony golds. Probably my favorite part of the sound design is when you are near speakers set up around the track and you can suddenly hear the music louder and then quieter while totally getting the positional audio of where the trackside speakers are. Its really impressive how all these audio sources feel independent from each other which really helps the world feel alive. I also could have sworn that this game used my atmos speakers during one event where a plane flew overhead. Maybe the impressive 3d audio fooled me, but dammed if it didn't sound good either way.

Agree. I have not played a lot because I am waiting on the next patch, but it looks really great. And you know the reason the game got a lot of shit is because it was the first gameplay on Series X and you had all the fanboy's taking pot shots at the game....even someone called it a Mobile Game. The game looks pretty incredible with some amazing lighting and the arcade driving mechanics are fantastic.
Awesome! I really think these guys deserve any support they get for the solid track record they've had over the years, despite the games obviously not selling a ton.
I think my issue with these particular kinds of sprints is that I genuinely don't know what I'm meant to be doing on corners. Tapping accelerate? Drifting into accelerate? Barely pressing it? I end up overshooting and then having to correct every time.
I definitely tapped the accelerator and never drifted (on purpose). Just eased off coming into the bends and tapped to keep a constant speed around it without drifting towards the outside where the AI are.
Thanks, I'll give this a try next time I'm on.
Is anybody else experiencing frequent crashes on PS5?
Maybe it's because I just played through Hotshot Racing recently which has nearly unbearable rubberbanding, but I honestly haven't noticed it much in Dirt 5.
I sure am! Every night I play, I have the game crash right when a race finishes. It's a huge bummer because everything else about this game is really fantastic.
Like, for real, I know there is at least one Dirt dev in here... this game really nails the driving, visuals, and music for me. It's exactly what I've been wanting out of a racing game for so long. So thank you! I hope the game does well.
dirt 5 is several times better than grid 2019 which was very disappointing.
I haven't noticed that much, either. One thing I will say, though, is that the AI are like trains on rails, so much so that you can use them to cheat your way around bends. Just smash right into the side of them while drifting towards a bend without slowing down and they barely budge. Like, you could literally be T-boning an AI racer and you won't move them. Meanwhile, you get thrown around like a ragdoll when they so much as scrape against you.
Last game I remember being able to cheat bends like this in was Top Gear Rally on the N64. lol You could slingshot your way around bends in that by sticking to the outer barrier at top speed like a space shuttle being flung around the moon's orbit.
Prioritise visuals is your bet. also I think it's the one mode that isn't borked on xbox.
Can't say I've noticed that too much. I've won tracks by 4+ second margins numerous times. What I would say is that a number of cars you're racing (in the first 2 series series/sections at least) seem to have significantly better acceleration or top speed so if you mess up a final bend, they eat up the gap really quickly on some tracks final straights.
What I want to know is how to get through the Sprint events. Have all but 3 races in the first 23 events but on the Sprint one I haven't gotten anywhere close.
I enjoyed Grid 2019 more than most I think. It's biggest knock is the track variety is a bit lacking, so expect many events to be repeated on similar course variants with different conditions. I did enjoy a lot of the tracks though, but it was one of the biggest issues for many.
Didnt play on a controller, as its wheel support was real good, which helped elevate it a bit for me. Had native support for features that many games don't, like pedal vibration. It's aggressive as hell with its FFB, which was a fun novelty for this arcade/sim-lite game.
Looks very nice, has lots of events, a good selection of unique classes to compete with. I pop it in now and again for a palette cleanser just to do an event or few. It balances arcade thrills with sim logic in a way some despise, but again I still play it now and again and have a decent time with it.
Im still waiting for wheel support on Dirt 5, which has kept me from playing much of it.
Yes it crashes constantly for me, always at the end of an event when looking at the finishing positions. It's the same for me in that it's just a normal smooth game crash but it does mean I have to play the event again.
It's a shame since I'm loving the game, but I've put it down until this is fixed, having to do every 4 or 5 events in the career again after already winning isn't fun. Its definitely the game's fault as well, I haven't had a single crash in any other game on my ps5 yet.
I think very hard AI and no assists is the way to play this game, they are a bit rubber-bandy but it's not too bad, I've seen much worse.
As for sprint races, I'm not sure if very hard and no assists is the trick or something like that but I had no trouble, I've done two of them in career and won one first try and the other with only three or four attempts. Once you get into first it's easy to pull away, the AI are pretty bad.
For sure, despite my grievances with a couple of the Sprint Races and the crashing, I actually think it's a a damn good racer and I'm having a mostly great time with it. I too hope it does well for them, it just needs patching, which I'm sure they're aware of.
That's quite reassuring in a way, as at least I now know it's not my PS5 that is at issue. Only other game I've played is Demon's and that hasn't crashed once, but I'm then I'm only quite early in that.
Definitely use an all wheel drive car for ice races, that makes them a lot easier. Then you've just got to try and take smooth wider lines, keep up as much speed as possible since acceleration is hard. Overtaking the AI on the inside tends to be the way to go I think.
okay great, thank you! I was under the impression that was the bugged mode but sounds like I was mistaken. Cheers :)
I'd disagree with that poster. Pretty sure Resolution is the most stable 60fps mode. It has some settings turned down compared to the other one.
edit: Resolution there doesn't really mean it's more suited for UHD screens. They both target 4k.
No wonder turning on all assists didn't help me 😂

Have you tried turning off traction control? I had trouble with Sprint and Ice events when I had tc on. Turned it off and it was much easier.
Grid 2019, in my opinion, is not a good game. This is regardless of any thoughts on Dirt 5. My biggest purchase regret of 2019.
The PS5 is really weird, i´ve played a lot and never had the game crashing...
I've had a lot of crashes on the PS5 version, 3 today in about 2 hours play, all at the end of the race, 2 were back to PS home menu with report error screens and the other the game just didn't load the podium and wouldn't progress. I have 6 PS5 games and have played some PS4 titles on it too and this is the only game to crash on me, let alone repeatedly.
Also any tips on driving the Jupiter Hawk Sprint race? The dam thing always wants to steer left but if you hit the wall on the right it sticks to it like glue and won't steer left at all! Really struggling with just this one event in the first 35 or so. Also it's a minor nuisance that if you hit restart at the podium presentation it doesn't save your race rewards/earnings, instead you have to come out to the event selection screen and reload again. Assuming the game hasn't crashed!
edit: seems that XP does add after a quick restart. I swear it didn't when I paid attention earlier but maybe that might have been a glitch, wouldn't be surprising seeing as I had 4 crashes by the end of my morning play through.

I've heard negative reactions from people very generally, but I played a good chunk of the career via Stadia, and had fun with it. I think part of that was bolstered by the novelty of how I was playing it, but for the sale price they have on the normal edition, I don't think you can go wrong.
I only recommended IQ mode because you get better graphics in that mode and I had assumed the FR was roughly comparable for both modes. Does it really drop more on IQ mode? I still prefer the extra bells and whistles anyway, but horses for courses, it's good to have choices.
My game crashed like 4 times today. The last time corrupted my save and lost a lot of progress. I think I'm taking a break from the game
