Im hopeful that this year will be more of a mixed bag.
All of the cars displayed merits & pace at Monte at different points on the rally. If that continues throughout the year, the Championship won't be the usual foregone conclusion.
I would be of the opinion that Citroen have the weakest driver line up of the bunch. :( -
It'd be great to see Breen keep Sordo behind him. Not that I have any dislike for Sordo, but he should never really have been behind Breen in the first instance given his equipment and experience. -
Whilst driving on the road section between Gap and Monaco, Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle's Citroën C3 WRC was hit by another vehicle. With the rear right-hand wheel damaged, the car was unable to continue driving and so the crew has been forced to retire from what is proving to be a decidedly unpredictable Rallye Monte-Carlo.Tomorrow, Stéphane Lefebvre and Gabin Moreau will therefore be the sole representatives of the Citroën Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team. Meanwhile, Craig Breen and Scott Martin will be looking to hold onto their fourth place overall. -
Dirt rally 2 - evolved gameplay & physics, but with DriveClub graphics
ooohh.... -
Great to see Ott owning Ogier in a like-for-like car :)
Thierry has always deserved a package that puts him at the top end of leaderboards. -
I actually thought it looked more like a tripod & bag at the roadside, but the internet has concluded that it was a badly placed photographer who was mauled by a group b car, so it must be true....Jepsertti said:
That would mean that the photographer next to the road wasn't the victim then because that would mean that he somehow had to teleport into the hillside and fall down.KevM said:As the Mirror states, the guy fell from a hillside.
Nothing has been suggested that Paddon actually hit him.
French papers state he fell, suffered a heart attack & was airlifted to Nice hospital where he passed away -
Never ever let the truth get in the way of a good internet rant, eh? -

French reports are that the spectator was injured, took a heart attack & was airlifted to Nice hospital -
Meant to be fatal :(
WRC radio playing music just -
I stick by the 'he fell' theory. I will be surprised if that's not the case (hopefully) -
He hit no one. Boy was still up the hill when the car settled -
I see Christina and Kris Meeke are on 1st tweet terms now... Wonder if he's been back at Codie HQ lately??
-
I think, although they wont be winning straight off, the Toyota will be surprising -
Its shakedown and teams are running a strict allocation of Studded tyres. Looks like the ex-VW guys are out to tickle their old ego's, where the smarter more comfortable and settled guys may be driving through shakedown to save the tyres? (Meeke, Evans etc) -
You should be banned....RallyDriven said:Fair enough, unfortunately I'll probably never try it on a wheel!
It's fun when you know when certain road books containing certain information are going to be released!

...oh, & Codies, if the new game doesn't handle just like this, please go back to the drawing board :D

Turn your Self Aligning Torque up & your wheel & tyre friction way down. Makes a world of differencebogani said:
Hmm. FFB on loose surfaces is ok/good. On tarmac it's much too vague.RallyDriven said:Being a controller user, playing on a wheel at codies the other month I was amazed by how the wheel reacts to the game, and how genuine it behaved. It really felt like an actual rally car
The way the the wheel returns to the center during transitions isn't really fast enough imo.
However, you might have played something else to what we currently have ;) -
You can tune that though. My wheel FFB settings are far from out-of-the-boxbogani said:

Yes, I mean a controller is fine but can't deliver the same feedback and information as what a wheel does on this game. -
I completely agree, but it's like comparing Stereo to Surround sound. There are just more channels of usable feedback & dimension that can be transmitted by a wheel that a controller just has no facility to produce.RallyDriven said:It's definitely very playable on a controller, and you can be very quick, but you will get more out of it on a wheel! Wish I had the space for one in my room, I'd definitely get one sorted!
Tune into that & you should be quicker by default -
I'm on a Logitech wheel. My cousin plays with a controller and to be fair to him, is always lightning quick on racing games. He can equal my times in Germany where the car has predictable grip, but he's 5-15 secs behind nearly everywhere else.RallyDriven said:
Are you playing on a wheel on XB1 or a controller? Because you are an absolute mile ahead of me on most stage times! Then again, I do t play an awful lot as I've been trying not to learn the stages as best as I can, I prefer relying on the co-driverKevM said:I used to really enjoy the immersion of using dashcam with DR, but with a single monitor, it was restrictive and not as fast as bonnetcam.
id quite like to give VR a go, but I'm xb1 now, so that might be unlikely
the FFB on DR is that good that I'd safely say it's an unfair advantage to wheel users. The way it communicates what the car is doing, is immense!
