real life 2020 FIA World Rally Championship
tbtstt replied to Fedemaisonnave's topic in DiRT Rally 2.0
VW on the verge of pulling the plug on their WRC program? Perhaps just gossip... http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/126924/volkswagen-could-pull-wrc-programme ...but an interesting snippet to read after the Audi announcement last week. Would they back out when they have already poured so much into development of a car for 2017? -
I don't recall us being silenced on confirming our attendance before, but perhaps things are different this time around. Damn shame I didn't get any gaming time yesterday, as I really wanted to do the Wales special event!
-
Might help us figure out who has been close. I think a few of the regular posters in the thread already have VIP status though, so it may not be entirely helpful! I wonder how much notice they will give with the invites?...
-
How long between first people being invited and early access/release last time? The date of the "group" invite was 28th October 2014 (though others had been invited to see the game before that date). DiRT Rally early access was launched 27th April 2015, so that's pretty much 6 months to the day. I wonder how relevant the above time frame is though. To me the official statements so far give the sense that the team have a complete product ready for release: at the point in time when I visited we saw a lot of fragments of a game, but they were still figuring out how to put it all together.
-
At this stage I would personally prefer to see McRae honoured in the game with the inclusion of classic cars and liveries. For me seeing the Group A Impreza in DiRT Rally with the proper livery on it, was a better tribute to Colin than slapping his name on the box of a game he had no involvement with, CMR 1 HD would be quite a cool way to mark 10 years though!
-
Hmm, well, we always have these on offer.
-
Irish tarmac stages have long been on my wish list. If Codemasters are to include more tarmac locations I hope Ireland is top of the list!
-
Excellent, I feel like we're making real progress.
-
Notice how there is a "Fiesta" pen beside the modes page? "Fiesta" is Spanish f or "party" and the book is open on section "5.0" so I think the hint is obvious there: PARTY MODES CONFIRMED FOR DIRT 5.0

Is that a diesel motor? We don't get any Foci in the states with a 1.8L. Just picked up a Fiesta ST last week, it is my first turbo car and I am completely addicted to boost. Also drove the Focus ST and liked it a lot, but fell in love with the light weight feeling of the Fiesta. Plus its my daily city commuter so the smaller size was attractive. Everything is better with boost: FACT. I haven't read a bad word about the latter generation Fiesta ST's, so I'd say you made a sound choice! And here's from a Mitsi driver :wink: Why would you want to pee on your own car? If operating costs are a concern, then you were wise to avoid both an Evo or a Subaru! I'm still glad I live in America, where the GASOLINE is sitting around $2/gallon. And we don't get taxed on our stupid big engines... even if my cars only a i4... We have manly 99 RON petrol here, not that tap water you call Gasoline over there... (I'm jealous really: I want cheap fuel!)

Just your typical reaction to being cut off the daily dose of gossip. Sideffects may include foaming from the mouth and intensive usage of funny pictures ^ That. Hopefully more will be said about the invite thing soon: I'm hoping that when there is something ready to show off it won't be long before we learn more! Yes, the last time there was an invite list good things happened! Plus it could be my first road trip in my new car Ooooh, what you got? If I am fortunate enough to get an invite again I will probably train it up there, as driving the Scoob to Southam and back will cost me a small fortune in petrol! :D

real life 2020 FIA World Rally Championship

Still better than having him win every single round though, at least in my opinion. Yeah. I've treated this years WRC as a series of individual events rather than a Championship. The overall result was a foregone conclusion, but the individual event results where interesting. I hope all the winners from 2016 will be able to consistently challenge in 2017. -

This season was more about when Ogier was going to win the title, not if! -
Ah. I remember when I first joined the DiRTy Gossip thread. I was young and full of optimism...

No gossip and no news makes the forum go something something...

I got it: By replacing the letters of the alphabet with numbers "W grze" becomes "23 7 18 26 5" 5 x 7 = 35. 35 + 18 = 53. 53 - 23- 26 = 4 DIRT 4 CONFIRMED.

'icing a steak' is my new favourite phrase. How do you ice a steak anyways? I'm just imagining spreading chocolate or cream cheese icing on a steak, and frankly that makes me sick. Then again, you guys also like blood pudding. Black pudding is awesome. Deal with it. :smiley:
-
Is this in the thread, or elsewhere? I'm hoping that the Codemasters tea and biscuit day that was discussed with @ChristinaMc a few weeks ago is still on the cards.
-
No, you're not alone there! Perhaps a slightly prettier service area (like the one in CMR 2005) and more refinements in the menu would be nice, but time spent driving through ceremonial starts and the like is time that I would rather spend racing on a stage!

I personally think that the post from Colin Clark is referencing the similar look of the cars rather than hinting at how the WRC program is to be run, but that's just my opinion. I really hope that M-Sport can produce a competitive car to meet the new regulations. -

I was expecting to love the Fiesta more, but I'm not convinced yet. It looks stretched to make the extended track width rather than chunky like the current car. Shall wait until we see the finished cars before I commit to my fave looking one! -
As much as I like the idea of upping the realism, I think the "bad" co-driver could prove very frustrating. I have enough trouble staying out of the trees with good notes, let alone if they are wrong! :D

Few photos from my motorsport outings in the last month. Couple from the British Rallycross Championship at Lydden... ...few from the World Rallycross Championship at Loheac... ...and finally some shots from the European Grasstrack Championship at Swingfield: First time I've watching grasstrack and I was very impressed: a bunch of lunatics on bikes and even bigger nutters in the sidecars!
