Well, find some company who wants to step in for only 1 year, and that year for sure the first part is very likely to be difficult beacause of covid... I start to wonder if there is a WRX at all this year.

The first year there seemed to be a lot of attention going to the world championship in Birmingham. But afterwards codemasters did (as far as I followed it) very little with the champions in relation to promotion. For me this always feeled as a missed opportunity. This topic today gave some more information in why. But I disagree and still feel codemasters should have done more with it, for themselves and for the ones who were on top.

Again, both a cheap wheel or an expensive has its advantages. With my old dfgt, switching off ffb and only 200 degrees of rotation I could go fast. With my new wheel (ts-pc) I 'feel' more of what is going on and improved my setups. Said that, with a good wheel and good ffb I don't want to go back to my cheap wheel, same as when used to VR I don't want to go back to a screen. Both not for the speed but for the experience.

As safari rally this time Germany. Let's burn some rubber as long as the tires have some 😇 I can live with 7 days, must admit now sometimes I am glad the season is over.

It is the main difference (and for me improvement) between dirt1 and dirt2. Agreed I don't do career mode because it is either to easy or to hard, if they want to do it right give us a slider. As long as they keep car upgrades and so on away from career mode I could agree with an offline mode.

I couldn't care less if career mode is online or offline. I want to do clubs and don't want to be restricted there with hard-to-get cars or silly upgrades won in career mode.

Anyone an idea when the 2021 world RX calendar is ready?

It is hard to compare anything. I, and probably most of us, start with a low budget wheel (mine was dfgt) attached to a desk with a normal chair. In the meantime I bought better equipment with a playseat, a Thrustnaster ts-pc and a VR. Yes, it feels so much better and I very much like it. But also I myself got much better in driving and get good results. Offcourse I like it more with good results, but don't think it is all from the equipment. It is partly because with good equipment I have better feedback but mostly because I got better in sim racing.

Started rally Spain with a real bad setup. The 6R4 was very tricky so I had one or 2 spins in every one of the first 3 stages. Lucky I was not to hit something in those spins. After I changed some things in the setup it was a lot better. Still not the fastest but it was decent. Then @denim398 retired and @Dytut had his own troubles so I finished an unexpected second. Looking back at this season I just regret I didn't drove the Audi.

The first 2 stages I had a real close fight with @denim398, the difference was only half a second. Then on ss3 I had a spin. Nothing serious, not fast, no banking, didn't hit anything but a flat tire. This must be my most unlucky season ever... The rest was good.

In 1 of the Volland cars is Kobe Pauwels (son of Koen Pauwels) in preparation for a full 2021 season.

A bit strange. If Bennett says he doesn't race because he can not use the fuel his car/engine needs, this should also be a problem for the Megane's??

Germany did bite me 😈 After a decent ss1 I crashed in ss2 losing about 10 seconds. Then I started to do very well winning 2 stages. After ss6 I was second wirh a bit more than 10 seconds behind, the 10 seconds I lost on ss2. Then came ss7. It was good untill I crashed in THE LAST corner. Pointing in the wrong direction I took an extra 15 seconds to make the last 20 meters. Outch, that hurts... now in 3th place.

Again a bad rally with a puncture in ss2. And a heavy crash in ss7 🤮

Yeah, some very good drivers battled it out last year, bu this year the 2 top aces of this era were back and showed they are just better.
