## Where should you start in this wiki?

Pick the route that matches what you want to do next. Each one opens with a guide or a table built from the game's own menus.

- **Your first race:** read [How to Play DirtBound](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/guides/how-to-play/) for the home screen, the stage menu and your first run, then check the [controls](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/controls/).
- **Faster times:** the [Stage mode](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/modes/stage/) page explains the 5 second reset and the 10 second spectator penalty, and the [faster stage times guide](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/guides/faster-stage-times/) turns them into a plan.
- **Choosing a car:** the [cars table](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/cars/) lists all 17 in garage order, and the [best car guide](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/guides/best-car/) explains why the choice is about looks.
- **Racing other people:** [Multiplayer](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/modes/multiplayer/) covers lobbies, codes and votes, and [Experimental](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/modes/experimental/) adds item boxes with the nine [power-ups](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/power-ups/).
- **Building a track:** the [circuit editor](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/modes/circuit-editor/) page walks through drawing, bridges, limits and publishing.
- **Something is wrong:** start with the [troubleshooting guide](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/guides/not-working/). The [update log](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/versions/) shows when we last checked the game.

## What can you look up in this wiki?

Browse 7 collections of verified game entries.

- [Game modes](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/modes/): DirtBound has two solo modes, Stage and Circuit, plus a daily challenge, online lobbies, an Experimental mode with power-ups and a circuit editor. Stage and Circuit play without an account. Online lobbies, leaderboards and publishing a circuit need a Google sign-in and a username. (6 entries)
- [Cars](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/cars/): The DirtBound garage has 17 rally cars, from the Alpine A110 and Audi Quattro S1 to the Subaru Impreza WRC2008 and Volkswagen Golf. Each car has five liveries. In the build we checked, the car you pick changes the model and paint only: every car runs on the same handling and top speed. The game starts you in the Audi Quattro S1 with livery 1. (17 entries)
- [Official circuits](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/circuits/): The Official tab of the DirtBound Circuit menu lists four tracks: the built-in Kenney Circuit, Tarte à rivière, Olufsen and Chantier publique. The last three were built by players in the editor and promoted by the developers. Every official circuit has an online leaderboard. The Community tab holds the rest of the published circuits, and My circuits holds the ones saved in your browser. (4 entries)
- [Experimental power-ups](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/power-ups/): DirtBound's Experimental mode has three power-up families, Rocket, Lightning and Turbo, and each one has three levels. An empty-handed pick from a box gives a random family at level 1. Every box you pick while holding one raises its level by one, up to level 3, and the family stays the same. Use it with E or Enter. (9 entries)
- [Stage options](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/stage-options/): Before a DirtBound rally stage you pick a theme, a landscape and a length. The four themes are seasons: Marshmallow Vale, Buttercup Meadow, Russet Wood and Frostvale. The landscapes are Varied, Lowlands and High mountains, and the lengths are 1, 2, 5 and 10 km or Endless. The Random button rolls a new road with the same settings. (12 entries)
- [Controls](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/controls/): DirtBound drives with W, A, S and D or the arrow keys, with Space for the handbrake, R to get back on the road and C to switch between the top view and the chase view. Gamepads use the triggers to accelerate and brake, and touch screens steer by sliding a finger. You can change every keyboard key on the Settings, Controls tab. (20 entries)
- [Settings](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/settings/): DirtBound has three settings tabs: Graphics, Sound and Controls. The graphics presets are Low, Normal and Ultra, and the game applies a new one at the next start or right away from the pause menu. Sound has separate sliders for the engine, the tires and the music. Controls lets you bind two keys to each action. (10 entries)

## How should you use this wiki?

Start with Game modes to compare 6 records or Cars to compare 17 records. Open a named entry when you need a definition, its key stats or screenshots. This wiki has 6 individual entry pages and 78 records overall. A record without a separate page stays in its collection table. Use the table filter to search a name or fact, and use the source links to check where a value came from. The version badge identifies the build checked for that page. For play instructions and access requirements, follow the Play button to the DirtBound game page.

## Which guides can help you play?

5 guides cover DirtBound. Start with these 3:

- [Faster DirtBound Stage Times: Penalties, Lines and Resets](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/guides/faster-stage-times/): Faster DirtBound stage times come from avoiding the two time penalties and the slow grass, not from car choice, because every car drives the same.
- [How to Play DirtBound: Your First Rally Stage](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/guides/how-to-play/): DirtBound starts on a 3D home screen in your browser, and a first rally stage takes three clicks: Solo, Stage and Start.
- [Best Car in DirtBound: Does Your Choice Matter?](https://ubg76.uk/wiki/dirtbound/guides/best-car/): There is no best car in DirtBound: in the build we checked, all 17 rally cars share one handling model, so the garage choice changes looks only.

## How was this data collected?

We played DirtBound in desktop Chrome on November 1 and 2, 2026: rally stages in all four themes, the Kenney Circuit, the circuit editor and every settings tab, with no account. Car, circuit, power-up and key lists come from the game's own menus and from the public script and English text files the site sends to every visitor. Multiplayer and Experimental rules come from those same files and the game's English text, since lobbies need a Google sign-in, which we did not use. We did not open the game's encrypted car models. Verified on November 2, 2026 against version Nov 1, 2026 build.

## Which DirtBound questions come up most often?

### What is the best car in DirtBound?

In the build we checked, no car is faster than another. All 17 share one handling model and the same top speed, so pick the one you like. The [best car guide](/wiki/dirtbound/guides/best-car/) explains how we checked.
