    Regarding the classes. So the Legacy will go in Group A and S4 into 2000cc?

    Are these cars fast enough to compete in their classes? 

     

    Will need to check but I believe:

    • Legacy will be in Group A
    • S4 will be in Up to 2000cc

     

    The second part of your question I can't answer as it's all subjective.


    • Day 29: Explored multiple classes in Custom at 100% Difficulty, found H1 FWD to be my most competitive. Started Masters Career at Spain in the MINI Cooper S. Won Event, Poland next.
    • Day 30: Won in Poland by a handy margin. The MINI felt real good there, perhaps Spain wasn't a fluke.
    • Day 31: Won at USA, another relatively easy win.
    • Day 32: Won at Australia.
    • Day 33: Won at Wales, was second for most of the rally but AI issues allowed me to take the lead. 27 points ahead going into final Event.
    • Day 34: 2nd at Monte Carlo, Championship win.

     

    The thing I noticed in going back to H1 FWD was how much more confidence I had compared to when I first started. I was going "full send" through some of the faster sections (Poland especially) and making fewer mistakes. Some of the Career Leaderboard times were solid too; I recall finishing 15th on the global board in one of the Welsh ones.

     

    That's the second of my 3 major goals now complete, Win a Career Rally Championship at Masters Difficulty.

    Rallycross next.

    Rumor has it, that Oculus Store buyers are finally going to get some DLC love with the Flat Out pack,  is that actually going to happen on the 24 of March 2020?

    That's the plan.

    Details to be confirmed/announced but we're aiming for Oculus players to experience Colin same time as everyone else 😉

  3. Hi all, just a quick update on how things are going:
     

    • Days 14-18 
      Rally: Drove the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo VI in Pro, and won most of the Events with ease to get promoted to Elite.
       
    • Days 14-16
      Rallycross: Drove the Ford RS200 Evolution in Pro. Currently only done one Event as I'm focusing on Rally.
       
    • Days 19-23:
      Rally: Drove the Mistubishi Lancer Evo X in Elite. Had a few close calls but won enough Events to get promoted to Masters.
       
    • Days 24-28:
      Rally: Been trying out a few different cars and classes, but am consistently 10 seconds off the pace.

     

    I'm at a point now where I'm comfortable on the wheel and generally confident in my driving ability.

    The challenge is the sheer pace of the AI at Masters, which is starting to become frustrating. While in the lower Tiers I could pick any car and have a shot at victory, that is less so here and even in cars where I'm pushing hard and driving well I'm off the pace. That pace may come eventually, but I don't want it to be at a cost of enjoying the game so I'm currently exploring a few different Classes in Custom vs 100% AI (Masters is around 95-100 difficulty).

    I've also adjusted my goals slightly and want to win both Masters Championships before the release of the FLAT OUT Pack on March 24. Once that's out I intend to do as many of the Scenarios as possible on Very Hard difficulty, and once that's done I'll retire DiRT Rally 2.0 as my "main game" and play some non-racing titles.

    Their priorities changed, nothing more and nothing less. It happens in game development. 

    This is a reasonable assumption.

    Now that we're nearing the end of DiRT Rally 2.0's content release schedule I think it's safe to say that Force Feedback will be staying as it is for this title.

     

    Player input has had benefits in other ways though, like all the feedback about device configuration made its way into GRID, and will likely influence future titles too.
