  4. The final batch of cars are out today, here's the post with more info: http://blog.codemasters.com/dirt/01/2019-world-rx-supercars-part-3-available-now-in-dirt-rally-2-0/
  5. Day 8 - Time Played: 1.5 Hours Time Gained: 1 second Places Gained: 28 More progress today, particularly in the Escort where my next Event was at Australia. Things just seemed to click for more of the rally, as I was well in control of the car for the majority of Stages and amassed a 2 minute lead going into the final Stage. Admittedly I used Restart a few times on the final run as I was nursing a misaligned front wheel but I eventually got a clean one together and won the Event. The Benchmark run went even smoother than previous days as I immediately beat my PB on my first attempt. Again I was slower in Sector 1 but found massive amounts of time in Sectors 2 and 3. I'm now 9th on Xbox and closing in on the Top 100 overall, still with a stock Fiesta R5. There's at least another 2 seconds in that car before I hit uncomfortably fast territory.

    Something is coming closer...

    Regarding audio, I got word from the team what what you hear is not what the final car will sound like 😉
  7. Steam people should get them today if past releases are anything to go by 🙂

    It looks like when a Fortnite streamer just slaps anything on a thumbnail regardless of scale and angle 😅
  10. Confirmed: If you DNF and appear on the Leaderboard, you still get the livery. Good to know ahead of Oliver’s challenge this weekend.

    Correct.
  12. Day 7 - Time Played: 1.5 Hours Time Gained: 1 second Places Gained: 22 I started off today by doing a full Event in the Ford Escort MKII, first time using RWD on this setup. The first 2 Stages of Greece were tricky as I was getting to grips with the car, resulting in quite a few spins and drops off the edge of the road. One thing I've come to expect on a pad is a sense of vibration when I've put too much throttle down, but I don't get that on the wheel and it took 2 Stages to adjust to that behaviour. Once I got it settled down and stopped overdriving the car the rest of the Event went rather smoothly. I didn't quite win as I lost too much time in the opening Stages but I put in some clean runs as I got the hang of the car. The Benchmark run was interesting today. I'm now learning the Stage more than I'm learning the Fiesta R5, and finding places to optimise my lines. I gained a second on my PB today but looking at the splits I could have been up by more; I was up by a second on Sector 2 and again on Sector 4, but a slower 1 and 3 cancelled out the big gains. I feel I've almost taken a stock setup as far as I can now, though with a perfect run I could potentially get into Top 100 Global. I'm already on the top page of the Xbox standings, 12th overall on the platform.
  13. That'll require a website update, good spot.

    How to see what version i have

    Also, while Season 4 is active if you look in the top right your badge should say Season 4. Snagged this from a Twitch stream just now as an example:

    This is a somewhat basic question, but have you bought a 2019 RX car in My Team? You can only start a My Team Career Championship with cars you own.

    Sounds like it's for the next update then and we overlooked that when reviewing Patch Notes.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I'll check when I'm back in the office. It was in the patch notes but that may have been premature in that it's probably coming in 1.13 instead. In 1.12 we definitely added the RX19 cars to the FIA World Rallycross Championship mode though.

    If Red Bull TV’s coverage is anything to go by, I can see more people going down the All Live route. What used to be a 30 minute show is now barely longer than 15 minutes. Once you’ve gone through intro, standings, a few interviews and the obligatory ad for Red Bull’s other shows, there’s only about 5 minutes of actual driving in there. Shame too as their coverage was what got me back into watching rally in the first place.
  19. Day 6 - Time Played: 1.5 Hours Time Gained: 3 seconds Places Gained: 107 No settings changes today, just wheel time. First up was Career Rally, last Event in the Lancia Fulvia before I move on to a faster car. Monte Carlo was largely pleasant although the ice caught me out on Stage 3 with an early puncture. A sudden blowout later on meant I had no spare tyre going into Stage 4, and after struggling to get to the end I eventually slid off the road for Terminal Damage. Had enough points to guarantee promotion to Clubman though, where I'll likely drive the RS1800 in Rally and the Crosskart in Rallycross. I followed up by doing the Daily Challenges as they seemed like a good opportunity to try a few different cars. The Mitsubishi NR4 was a dream to drive, the Audi Sport quattro tried to kill me and the VW Golf Kitcar was good when I wasn't driving too quickly. The RX2 was surprisingly tough, as the wheel seemed real heavy whenever I countersteered; it made for a tough driving experience even with no other cars on the track. Benchmark run was up next and just like before I was looking to find places where I could go faster or cleaner than my PB. My first sector is real good now, almost optimal and I managed to find some time towards the end too to beat my PB by another 3 seconds. I'm now in the Top 200 globally and in the Top 20 on Xbox.

    Can't tell if accelerating faster than an RX Supercar or collapsing suspension 🙂

    Swedish peoples, check this out: https://www.sbf.se/Sportgrenar/Virtuellbilsport/Nyheter/SM-VeckanVinter2020/ https://www.sbf.se/globalassets/svenska-bilsportforbundet-virtuell-bilsport/dokument/inbjudan-sm-lulea-2020.pdf We've been working with these guys to help them get their RX esports series off the ground 🙂
  22. I just saw a video where a bunch of people have modded in 300km of Tokyo highways for that true Wangan Midnight experience 😎
  23. Getting closer on that but nothing to announce right now, sorry. @Mike Dee seems to think so. I can't remember if anyone here got a DNF in the Festive Challenge on Christmas Day, as that had the same requirements.

    Once I go down to 1:43 or lower, I may as well just buy the LEGO version instead if there is one 🙂
