Cheers @Xpander. :]

By the way, we've put together some system requirements for DiRT Rally on Linux:

At minimum you’ll need an Intel Core i3-4130T or AMD FX6300 processor running Ubuntu 16.10 (64bit) or SteamOS (2.0 : 2.110), 8GB RAM and a 1GB NVIDIA 650ti/AMD R9 270 graphics card* or better.

To hit the recommend requirements you’ll want an Intel Core i7-4770 processor with 8GB RAM and a 4GB NVIDIA 970 graphics card* or better.

*NVIDIA graphics cards require driver version 370.28. AMD graphics cards require MESA 13.0.2 or better.

Won't work on 16.04 LTS? (out of curiosity, I'll perhaps be on 18.04 when I'll be able to buy this game with a wheel ^^)

The Ubuntu 16.10 surprised me as well. Also surprising is how early we get requirements. I didn't expect those until the last week of February.

well they've changed a couple of times after being announced so who knows.

It's not supported, but it won't be blocked either. So you can give it a go if you fancy!

Hi Jith! Greate news. After F1 now the master peace. :)

Question: Could you recommend any usb steering wheel equipment for Dirt Rally and Linux?

For F1 I had used the gyro of my steam controller, which worked not even so badly. I hope the steam controller works as well with Dirt Rally.
