I think that the new generation is less good and has less skill
old driver group A test RGT
new generation driver WRC 2 test same car
@PaulNbg
drift and slide on tarmac make it sense ? yes i explain with example
(in DR 2.0 for me the tarmac is very gripy and is very Bad is my opinion )
imagine you is in stage with lot difficult turn and very tight ( left 1 , hairpin , square ... ) ok
first car is FWD car ( with motor in front of the car ) so you have only 2 front wheel work
- he accelerate and brake ( its depend for your brake setup )
- he turn
- and the heavy is front of car ( so its possible to understeer easily )
you tire your front tires easily so you need slide to save a front tires
second car is RWD ( same with motor in front of the car ) so you have 4 wheel work and have not really same work
- you accelerate with rear wheel
- you turn with front wheel
-and heavy is in front of car
with heavy in front is possible to understeer but is possible to oversteer so possible to drift and you manage your 4 tires more easily and when your drift the steering wheel work alone
example
you go on left 2 , right 3 and you finish in harpin , for the hairpin your start drift so your manage your front wheel and you win the time with drift skill because steering wheel work alone
third car is AWD ( same motor in front car ) you have 4 wheel work except for the turn
-you acccelerate with front and rear wheel
-you turn with front wheel
- heavy is front car so is possible you understeer
if you drive with 50/50 power or more power in front of car you have same problem with first car so you understeer and you loose time and your tire your tires
if your drive with more power in rear your oversteer , slide and drift so with RWD skill you win time and save your front tires ( so that why you have often time in yours car setup you have more power in rear than front , look the ramp acceleration in your differential )
( with motor in rear you have heavy in rear so your car more understeer )
on rally the tyre strategy and good setup is very important and the skill is very important too
with this example now you understand why drift on tarmac is important too
and i explain why the modern car no slide and not drift always time on rally ( R2 , WRC 2 and new WRC 380 HP)
1 because cars are limited for setup by regulations for security now ( very very limited now )
2 the WRC 2 and R2 is limited by power ( example the wrc 2 have less power than old WRC 280 HP WRC 2 5 gear vs 300HP old WRC the last car have 6 gear )( other example 180 HP for R2 VS 300 HP for kit car )*( maybe is better to choose h2 FWD vs R2 is true but the best era of FWD is kit car and the R2( or R3) start after the kitcar is not very logic so i choose very technologic car vs best FWD car )
3 the WRC 380 HP have lot aeorodynamics part so that why car is sticked on the floor , and honnestly the show is dead on tarmac because the new WRC have lot downforce so that why the car not slide and drift always time on rally modern .
