    Maybe we could make a Codemasters league? Problem is I don't think there's enough of us due to different platforms. I have a PS4, Xbox One and PC but I don't think anyone else here has that flexibility. Really wish they'd make games cross platform, that's one of the reasons I love PC, as you aren't segregated once you upgrade.
    Ive got PS4, PC, Gamecube and N64. The N64 is my preference for a league tho lol :p

    BUT here is my question, to you Lee, is it a huge task to allow saving replays and a user controllable camera, that it would take away from some other project?  This is a really bad question and probably a bit ignorant of my knowledge of what goes on behind the scenes.  

    I also wondered that. If you look at all Codies games from the past generation of consoles they've had the same replay system. Players were asking for a system where the replays can be saved and viewed later and it always appeared to be a big ask. Perhaps it requires a complete re-write of how the replays are captured.

    Right now in DiRT Rally there isn't a possbility to view a replay of last 30 seconds of gameplay as it was the case with previous games.

    Codies also in all recent games preferred to define the sequence of shots and that sequence of camera views wouldn't change even if you watched a replay of a 20 lap F1 race.

    I have no idea how much work is involved, but if you look at what racing games have the option of saving replays you would realise that they are big projects (GT from Polyphony, Forza from Turn 10 and Project CARS spring to my mind).

    It may be that in order to put in the free camera system with saves the whole thing needs to be nuked from orbit. (as @ponchobillybob would put it...)
    Didn't someone use a camera mod in DiRT 3?
