    And as the saying goes "it's not the destination, but the journey"  and the journey has been memorable!   @justbiglee  started it out with a never to be done again surprise.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    @BrySkye Good points.   Regarding the PP cars, I am very suspicious that Sebastien Leob's 208 was THE car that the all tarmac versions was made for.  It was probably signed away to SLER when he signed on.  Its probably more of a technicality of  that particular car would not be licensed, i.e. that they are licensed together not separate.  @JZStudios  Many wanted it in the early days before the release, there where a few posts about it.  I am happy with it, its fun to not have jumps and relatively smooth wide road with monster HP cars.  Its still a historical rally, although not officially called such.  Its a shame the licensing has neutered it some, maybe there is still some promise, not holding my breath though.   I will say that it inspired my summer vacation that started going up Pikes Peak and on to 2500 miles of driving.  Good memories.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Talk to anyone in a non WRC car that rally's in RL about jumps of any kind.  Most will tell you they tap brakes before a jump, most cars just can't handle a beating like that, lots of struts going thru the towers and occasionally the hood (bonnet).    In RL we wouldn't take the chances and speed that we do in the games, the risk isn't there, no resets in real life.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    @jennyannem   Hello! As others have said, this thread is an institution for DiRT Rally Gossip, past present and hopefully for the future.   The only arguments you will see here are over spoilers and grills.  Maybe we get a little whiny about sound and handling, but never trashing you guys for not delivering something. Oh yeah, I whine about no American rally events in DiRT Rally, but I am getting therapy for that. All we will ever ask of you is for some gossip to well.. gossip about. But you know about this already.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    @BrySkye  I was thinking it was more the opposite that WRX/Monster energy would dampen the use of other energy drinks.  True DiRT3 had both in their liveries, they didn't have the clout as Monster does with WRX in the game.  It was just a shot from the hip reason why no energy drinks have appeared in the game other than Monster.

    A part of me wants to think that If SLRE wasn't made that DR would have a few more cars.   The other part of me thinks that all the red bull stuff tied to Sebastian Loeb might have conflicted with WRX monster energy advertising so a lot of his cars where not allowed.  Yes Liveries are separate from cars, but sponsors give a lot of money for some cars to even happen (SL and Peugeot would probably not done pike peak without them) so may not be able to have the car without the livery, opposite to the current C4 in the game, but similar reasoning. anyhow just some theories for gossip

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    @RodgerDavies  I remember seeing a Fiesta R2 on there, I would still like to see this.  Don't know the probability.   Some are asking for a Datson 270z car,  I would like this, maybe could fit into a Entry-level class with the Fiesta R2, but its a little out of place without a Africa (safari) event.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    @Rallycameraman I thought @KickUp was pretty clear that the game just can't handle another car on the stage.  Something about computing overhead or game engine...  Not sure

    So, two new community managers. One spare when the first one throws in the towel? ;) If these are NOT community managers...  the Gossip question is:  Why are they adding to the team when the project is wrapping up this month?   This could mean a lot for the future of DiRT Rally and beyond.  Now if we could only track their Environment Artists!  <find my freinds> anyone?

    @tbtstt I'll let you confirm, but this is off.  SRTUSA runs about 350hp and 400+ torque in a 2.5.  Never been a 2.0 spec 500hp/tq in this gen car

    It sounds like a complaint, not really, but it would be nice to have some limited in game customizable features like need for speed does with their cars, even Grid series did this.   Maybe the VTsportscar upgraded fenders option would cost $xxxxx credits and allow some suspension performance gains.   Also so limited skin n customization too, i know this is fluff to some but features do add value.   I am still jumping up and down S14 is now part of it now.
