Stayed up far later than I should have playing some of the McRae scenarios last night. At a casual glance Scotland doesn't look that dissimilar to Wales, but it is very different to drive. Really impressed with how Codemasters have produced the scenarios without WRC licensing; "beat the Spanish and Finnish drivers". That'll be Carlos and Tommi then... ...after careful consideration, and despite a few minor gripes/omissions, thanks to the latest DLC I am now officially declaring DR2.0 as my favourite rally game of all time. Oh, and that Subaru? Totally worth the wait.

I think the audio team have done a great job on both the C4 and Fabia. As @Tranzitive said the Skoda WRCars have very distinctive audio and it is brilliant to finally have that in game. I'd like a separate volume slider for ALS sound though: I want that overrun sound to deafen me!

Brilliant, thanks @tjetfiat, will try that later! 👍

Don't you get demoted a level if you abandon a Championship?

You are right @James McAdam: I was sure you could do Masters in 2019 cars, but I just tried to start a new Championship and it is 2018 cars only!

Sounds awesome now the right sound is attached to the right Subaru! 😄

Download finally finished and I have just spent 20 minutes driving the new Subaru around Dirtfish and admiring it. It is too pretty to take out on stage, I don't want to bend it!

I am certain they weren't there before and yeah, like you say, it does seem odd to add the names without cars... ...fingers crossed!

Well it isn't officially confirmed yet, but this does make it look more likely!

Agree with you on all points there @JorritVD. I think the Audi is a competitive car, but I wonder if Baumanis has the pace (and Larsson has the consistency) for them to be challengers. Brilliant to see two of the latest specification EKS cars getting some use this year though.

Hurrah! With all day to complete the last couple of GB, mine will surely be finished by the time I get in... hopefully!

How is your download doing @RallyDriven? MIne had 70 minutes to run when I left for work this morning, so I am hoping that I'll finally get my hands on it this evening!

WRC97 and early WRC98 got the twin vents @gleylancer571, latter WRC98, WRC99 and WRC2000 had the single center vent.

Its a World Rally Car specification car, not Group A, so it should be 2000cc.

That is a '97 car @gleylancer571, not a 98 (again, the roof vent has been changed).

Modern Warfare is, in my personal opinion, the best CoD since MW2 (though I confess I have only briefly played the last couple). I started my download about an hour ago and it is yet to reach 10%, so it isn't looking good for me!

Correct, though Vatanen ran with the semi-auto box in Wales '98.

Whatever you do, don't buy Modern Warfare then. That looooves filling your hard drive up!

Pretty sure the car they recorded is P8 WRC: that was the car McRae used for three events in 1997. Notably the car has had the roof changed at some point, because it has the central roof scoop from the latter S5's.

I am not playing the game yet, but a post elsewhere on the forum seems to suggest that all the 2019 GRX drivers (i.e. Gronholm, Timur, Topi & Nitiss) are now all appearing in random cars. Pretty sure they weren't there before the patch... ...the ultimate troll, or groundwork for the i20?

Cheers. I saw the post in the Gossip thread after asking: as I said there, I won't be driving that Impreza today, dammit!

****. I won't be playing that until tomorrow then!

Yeah, as @SkyRex said, they trialled the semi 'box in Wales' 98, so that option is (arguably!) correct... ...is it a big download? (on PS4) I am working until late and I want to play when I get in: I am hoping I won't be waiting hours for a download!

Yeah, that's my favourite as well!
