Day 11 - Time Played: 2 Hours
- Time Gained: 0.4 seconds
- Places Gained: 2
Started off this session in the Escort again, this time round Wales. I haven't driven Wales since before it was released so I was a little rusty, and dropped a minute on the leader in the opening 2 Stages.
I felt that that would rule me out of a win but some good runs thereafter helped me catch up. I was still about 20 seconds off the leader going into the final Stage but fortunately they had an Unexpected Moment and fell off the timesheets, giving me the win.
The Benchmark run (which was over an hour) was frustrating as I couldn't seem to beat my Personal Best despite driving well. In the end I applied @2Technical's setup and found 4 tenths after a few runs. There's more in the car I'm sure, once I get used to the slightly longer gearing.
Just for curiosity I tried the Mitsubishi Space Star and found that I could gain half a second in Sector 1 and a whole second in Sector 2. I drop off towards the end but I have a feeling I'll switch cars if I can't go much further with the Fiesta.

We fast-tracked development of the S4 in order to get capture ready in December 👍🏻

Still TBC.
I believe it'll be less than a Season upgrade, so I'd recommend if you find a Season bundle on sale to pick that up, play the extra content and then get Colin for free 🙂

Oliver B. must have put something in the Licence agreement like : "Ok, I give you rights on Xite for DR2.0 and Grid, but my car has to been faster in the games than in reality"
Well, when I met him at Autosport Show he did say "I hope you made the MINI OP" 😄

Day 10 - Time Played: 2 Hours
- Time Gained: 1 second
- Places Gained: 17
I started out with a quick Benchmark run today (mainly so I could show off on Twitter) and happened to beat my PB by 3 tenths.
After that it was off to Monte Carlo in the Escort. The sensation through the wheel was interesting to say the least. On the snow and Ice I wasn't feeling anything, which was to be expected but as soon as I hit dry tarmac the wheel got very heavy. I had a few slip-ups thanks to the varying conditions (and RWD on ice) but still ended up taking the Event win. Wales and Finland left before I potentially get promoted.
With that done it was back to the Benchmark for a proper run. I knew there was time to be gained as my PB had some scruffy sectors, but it also had a monstrously quick Sector 2 so it was touch and go. Still though, I threw caution to the wind and after a few attempts came out almost 2 seconds up.
I was still down by a second in Sector 2 though so a low 3:17 is possible with the stock Fiesta R5. I think I want to hit that before I consider tuning the car. I'm now in the Top 70 overall and 5th on Xbox (where I'm only 2 seconds off World Record pace).
Oh, and I recognise some names on the board now so I must be getting quick. Hello @Snaky115 and @SereneLogic 🙂

1 hour ago, Kjell007 said:@PJTierney, a little question: Do you use anything to stop the rumbling from the steering wheel to go into the floor? I had a seat and steeringwheel some years ago, but I had to get rid of it because the force feedback and rumbling went into the floor and could easily be heard by the people living under my flat. I don’t want that to happen again... 😳
My FFB is at 70 and the Playseat is rock solid.
Also, the space under my flat is commercial so no worries about waking up the neighbours 😄

Short clip of the benchmark run since I did that first today.
Found a second in Sector 2 but lost it again in Sector 4 😞

FLAT OUT messaging, by content I mean blogs, videos etc.

Oliver's is this weekend.
You missed Petter's.
We'll make the liveries available again later in the year 🙂

From what I've seen, there are sections of Scotland you'll be swearing at for weeks.
(Not unlike when you visit Scotland and people swear at you for weeks).

It's not showing up in the ready to install-section.

Known issue, some snag in the store backend but actively being worked on 🙂

Nothing specific right now, though we’re talking about future activity ahead of release, figuring out content plans etc.

Correct.
The audio’s still in development and not final 🙂

Bear in mind that all car names are approved by the manufacturers, and I’d trust SUBARU to know which car it is 😉

1 hour ago, ianism said:DLC is not cheap to do. a single car takes easily a month to model, create liveries, adjust the performance etc. a location takes much, much longer than that and this is why all the DLC rally locations are updates on old ones and not brand new.
I don't speak for the dev team on specifics, but when I joined Codemasters in May 2019 I was already aware that the FLAT OUT content was being planned and developed.
If you look through some blog posts on the matter (not just Codemasters, but Forza, GT etc.), a car can take upwards of 9 months to research, license and build from scratch, especially older ones for which CAD data isn't readily available from the manufacturer.
15 minutes ago, KryspaPL said:@PJTierney What do you think about this, could you ask some devs maybe?
According to IGCD:
https://www.igcd.net/game.php?id=10000036
- 1998 SUBARU 22B STi (the road car @tbtstt, before you freak out)
- 1997 SUBARU Impreza S3 Rally
- 2000 SUBARU Impreza S6 Rally

Scotland will be available everywhere if you have the FLAT OUT pack (which of course means that if you have a Season you can play it too).

47 minutes ago, JorritVD said:I find this interesting:
The scenarios take place in nine of the cars made famous throughout Colin’s career, including many iconic vehicles from previous Colin McRae Rally and DiRT games.Can someone say to me which nine cars these are?
38 minutes ago, Malling said:The blog post already mentions the following for Scenario mode;
- MINI Cooper S
- Peugeot 205 GTI
- Ford Sierra Cosworth
- Subaru Impreza 1995
- Subaru Impreza S4 (implied)
- Ford Focus RS 2001
The following I'd also expect;
- MG Metro 6R4 (new livery, trailer describes McRae's antics in one)
- Subaru Legacy (new car)
- Skoda Fabia (McRae livery already in-game)
One thing to point out that isn't in the blog:
- If you own the FLAT OUT pack but don't have any of the cars/Locations from the Seasons, you'll still be able to play the Scenarios that feature them.

Colin McRae: FLAT OUT Pack
in DiRT Rally 2.0
Posted
Just to clarify, that doesn't mean the car was rushed, just that it was bumped up the pipeline ahead of other cars. (At a guess it was developed around the time of the World RX cars)
