Feral Interactive on Thursday announced the release of Colin McRae: DiRT 2 for the Mac. It costs $39.99 and is available from online download services including the Mac App Store. It comes to retailers on Thursday, September 15, 2011.

Colin McRae: DiRT 2 is an rally-style auto racing game that features nine locations around the world, 41 tracks and more than 100 racing events. As you travel the world, you gain experience and win cash, you get promoted and progress to more challenging events.

You get to drive real-world cars like the Mitsubishi EVO X, the Subaru Impreza STI and others, with customization, adjustable assists and difficulty levels.

A “Flashback” feature lets you repeat the last few seconds of your drive so you can correct mistakes that otherwise would have sent you off the course and out of the running. The game also features multiplayer support with head-to-head online play.

Feral noted that the game was previously anticipated for a July launch. Colin McRae: DiRT 2’s Mac release was pushed back to September in order to accommodate support for OS X “Lion.”
