    I know Kankkunen is credited with the line (and I am well aware of his career) but, as brilliant a driver as he was, the statement is daft and I am tired of seeing it repeated ad nauseam on forums and social media, when it is utterly nonsensical. Group B was an incredible time for car development, but that "...Group B for men" line is ignorant of pretty much everything that has gone before and come after Group B. Group A cars were beating Group B stage times just a few years after the banning of Group B and the current crop of cars would run rings around any period Group B machinery. The current driver stable is as talented and committed as those of any era and to promote the idea that they are not is both harmful to the sport and disrespectful to those competing now. What annoys me more is that, instead of remembering the incredible legacy of Group B for what it was, its memory is being tainted by this distorted rose-tinted view and misguided belief that rally never has - and never can be - as good again (and this opinion is frequently held by people who weren't even old enough to see a Group B car in action). Oh, and if Group B was "just for men", how does Michelle Mouton fit in?

    Seriously, give me the option to turn them off. I'd have 3x the play time in this game if it wasn't for auto resets, losing 5 seconds to an auto reset ****** me off more than losing 30 seconds to multiple mistakes. If I want to drive off into a field and take 30 seconds to find the track, and lose the rally as a result, thats my choice. In my last rally I made the same mistake in 2 runs, 1st one auto reset me when I had already made the save and was headed back towards the course, I would have lost probably 2-3 seconds, instead I got reset with a 6 second penalty and lost an additional 2-3 seconds because of being stopped. Second time, I was an inch closer to the track and didn't get reset, hit a rock and had to back up, lost 6 seconds. 1st time I restarted, second time I kept going and took my loss because the second time was fair. Being reset because I went an inch beyond an invisible barrier, or hit a spectator that in real life could have easily moved 1 inch backwards to avoid the hit is the dumbest **** in any modern racing game, out side of perhaps "slow down" penalties that automatically slow your car. If you can't do that, then give me rewinds so I can fix the games stupidity without having to start a whole stage over. Auto resets are why I never use long rallies in my custom championships. /Rant

    I have just rebuilt my PC with completely different parts. I have gone from Intel to AMD. I have had zero issues with the game (other than gameplay bugs acknowledged or posted by me here). I did build an entirely different Intel machine with random parts and had again, zero issues. This makes me think that there are many misconfigured / faulty machines out there or with corrupt Windows installations. We need to stop issues such as these polluting the forums in TA with stuff that is really "fix your own house before coming here and slating Codemasters". I'd like to make an offer. Send me or enable me to purchase other GPUs to try to replicate actual hardware issues. I'm sure I could validate actual hardware issues with any AMD/Nvidia hardware. It seems to me that next gen or Nvidia hardware is the worst. I have a low opinion of the quality of Nvidia drivers, not saying AMD is perfect, not saying other games are / are not an issue. I'm perfectly happy to have a build /test rig, just need funds or parts sent. I don't even want to own them ultimately, I can test the game with any combo. I'm confident it works, it's just poor configuration or lack of attention to drivers and installation methods.

    Thought I would make a thread on multiplayer features that are missing from 2019 and where the issues still are with this game, right now people are so frustrated that the forums are falling apart and threads are going far off topic. I'm doing this on multiplayer as this is the area I care about, I only really do campaign to pay for cars, this is why Grid 2019 was such a disappointment and why the latest patch misses the mark by a long way! The lack of a hold screen between races in an event is a big issue to me as you are not able to change the tuning of the car to suit the track, in GAS you would change your gears to suit Mount Panorama for example. Now with the new patch you can of course tune the car pre-event, that is a step forward, but you have no idea what variations of tracks are coming up as there is no 'Event Details' so it is still quite pointless. We all could just go back to Grid Autosport or another racing game but we like the Grid series and 2019 does have a great racing model, everything else can be fixed if Codemasters wants to develop the game into something great that will attract other gamers. We all know the game is seriously lacking tracks but that is getting better slowly with each season, just hope they don't stop at season 3. The other fundamental issue with the game is it looks #LikeNoOther and not in a good way, LOD is very noticeable with shadows drawing a few meters from your car but if for some reason you slow down and look around and can see past those horrific trees you can see how better Grid/Grid2/Grid Autosport are compared to 2019 for off track scenery, some clippings from the other thread: Autosport on the left: In general the graphics seem washed out and have low res mapping. Anyway, discus, keep it on topic for the thread and make a current issues list for Codemasters to address or ignore, easier for @CMTGK to catch up on ;p. Issues: Multiple attempts often needed to select car in skirmish (reported months ago and ignored) LOD and general graphics and trees Multiplayer tuning and event details I will try and update this issues list as we go!

    The problem ist just the performance. They don't wanna split the 2000cc class, you can't exclude cars from a championship per option (not even in clubs) and it's a fact that the C4 and '07 Focus are dominant in that class. It's just sad. I think while it's definitely not a Group A car, it would fit better there. The naming of the classes is just to specific, "Group A" should be called "90's" and done.

    I think Pikes Peak is an interesting one to discuss. I have seen some drivers comment that Pikes Peak is actually more difficult now it is completely paved, as the road is much narrower (and hasmuch less room for error) than the dirt route did... ...that said, I personally find the mixed surface Pikes Peak runs the most impressive to watch.

    The penulatimate round of the Official DiRT Club currently takes place at Spain. I already finished and it went a lot better than Wales. Just it was a bit to much rain imo for Spain.

    Dynamic time and weather seem pointless on 10 minute stages. It was not immersive in D4 for example.

    Born in 69 so I saw Group B come through. I remember going to Chatsworth loads of years. There was a long straight with a hairpin and we thought there was no way Salonen would be able to stop his 205 in 84 with the speed he had but he did it. And the sight of Mikkola's head jolting back under acceleration in the S1 Audi was amazing. Loved the days before as well with the Chevettes, Mantas, Talbots etc. And the sound of the Stratos echoing through Clipstone forest. Wonderful. The current WRC cars are no less exciting though, the footage from last year's Finnish rally is jaw dropping. Each era has it's rose tinted views but still the driver's got the best out of their machines.

    Hey! It'd be great if you could edit the thread to more closely represent the guidelines for posting bug reports 🙂

    I am disappointed to see anyone on this forum repeating this stupid statement. I expect the posters here to know better.

    I would prefer a private race. A full grid is nice but if there one or two who’s only aim is to kill as many as possible the fun for me is over. If only there was a solid system to prevent this....

    I tried the game for about an hour... It still arcade, but handle nothing like the other GRID. The driving behavior is far more authentic than GRID Autosport & some handling behavior are more realistic than Assetto Corsa or other reputable simracing games while the rest is more exaggerated. When you steer over the limit or hard on the brake, the car actually do plow straight & you actually do need throttle control going out of a corner, etc. When you need to countersteer out of a corner from too much throttle, it snap hard like it should. I've read & watch video reviews about GRID 2019... I feel like they don't know what is oversteer(when the traction in the rear is inferior to the front ). This only happen when you need to countersteer to keep track, but you don't in 99.99% of the case, It just rotate. The car are very neutral that it rotate easily & still in control of the car. Like AC, it has no lift off oversteer. All the car has fantasy spec & stats, but the car behavior is done right & not too much alien like many simracing game which is nice.

    Well PJ did say that there might be other "small" updates. If the Hyundai is going to happen though, I assume it will follow the Flat Out pack?

    c mon guys dont be so rude to @DarkSuLL he just asked a question. It's understandable to ask something like that because cheating in online gaming is constantly increasing. People lagging other players out of the game, delaying and hacking the servers etc... F.e yesterday in ranked lobby i had a guy who was jumping all over the place during the race with a "bad" connection. He was cutting all the corners bumped others off the track and won the race without any penalties....yap!

    I sadly agree, without the Mission Winnow sponsoring areas this livery will just look plain and boring. It will just be a simple red car with nothing going on. I hope Codemasters can somehow figure out a workaround.

    2019 LOD is a joke... 6 years ahead but all games looks the same. And with that LOD new GRID looks even worse

    Contact support directly. I had the same crashes happening just 2 or 3 times but in like 4 months. It is not true there is no support. Through the forum it is a real pain but contacting them directly or even calling them straight sounds like a quicker way
