    2020 FIA World Rally Championship

    Ogier is an animal when he gets into the zone. At times he looks more forbidding than Loeb did.  I fully agree with that: some of the moments that occur when Ogier is pushed are spectacular. I personally think he is way more ragged when on the limit that Loeb ever was...  ...but that obviously wasn't enough this weekend: great job from Haddon! Makes you wonder, how long can Latvala (and arguably Neuville) retain their seats when you have drivers like Paddon posting results like that?

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    As much as I'd love to see a standalone sim-oriented RallyX game with cars from the 60's Ford Cortina, to the Group B rallycross cars and all the way up to the modern era, the reality hurts. It simply is too niche and wouldn't sell. It's damn shame, frankly.  Yeah. A late 80's/early 90's themed add on for the rallycross would be very well received though*! (* well it would be from me anyway!)

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    As much as I would love to see a full standalone rallycross game I'm in agreement with @RallyDriven in that I don't think there is enough of a market for one yet. Still, rallycross has certainly gained a lot of momentum with the World Championship now in the spotlight, so perhaps we're underestimating it's appeal. I would personally hate to see rallycross get it's own title, fail to sell and then get abandoned from future titles. Expanded content on what we already have in DiRT Rally is what I'd really like to see at this point.

    The forum banned me, no one knows why yet. THE FORUM HAS SPOKEN. ALL HAIL THE FORUM.

    2020 FIA World Rally Championship

    The Polo and the Fiesta are the best looking of the current crop of cars (in my personal opinion) and I'm expecting the same again with the 2017 cars.

    Much better photo here... ...I would prefer it to have been based on the DS3, but still looks pretty good.

    This should really be in a "WRC 2017" thread, but I thought I'd put it in here. First image of the C3 WRC:

    If we could pick any location to be added to the game, then Irish tarmac stages would be my first choice!

    I think it's fair to say that the vast majority of pages in the first half of this thread are discussing hints and snippets left for us by Lee online!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    not tried the 205 yet in finland its going to be scarey though flat out :D Won some stages (tarmac) in the 205 last night. My proudest moment with the game so far. Was feeling pretty good about my driving, so I then went and did the daily (Delta S4 in Greece)... ...clipped a bank hard and got a puncture about 30 seconds in to the stage, so I then had to crawl to the finish. Went back to feeling bad about my driving! It gives you a option to fix a puncture but you loose about a minute fixing it. Yeah, it's a 90 second penalty. I thought I would lose less time driving with the flat, so I carried on... ...considering my final stage time, I think that may have been a poor choice.

    It's a beautifully built car @Darhour, it always looks too pristine to be used for rallycross! It's running a turbo charged Duratec engine, so it's also rather quick!

    Rather delayed (due to DiRT Rally arriving!), but a few photos from the second round of the British Rallycross Championship a couple of weekends ago: Few more shots here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/22961613@N06/albums/72157664569361974 If anyone is interested!

    Vaguely DiRT related, but a few pictures from the second round of the British Rallycross Championship at Lydden a couple of weeks ago. Includes a few familiar cars to DiRT Rally players... ...more photos here:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/22961613@N06/sets/72157664569361974 If any of you are interested!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Perhaps I've missed the comments (or Codemasters are cleaning them up!) but, thus far, I don't think I've seen a single negative comment on Facebook with regards to the console release. I really hope that the wider console audience like the game as much as the few of us on here do!

    The only other store I can think of that's bigger than the two I've already tried is a bit of a drive. Will have to venture that way at the weekend and have a look there!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Alas, I have a little moan for the Gossip thread. I popped out at lunchtime and visited the two biggest Sainsbury's stores in the area to try and get the steelbook: neither had it, nor could give any clue as to where I would find it. Bugger! My mate bought the regular Legend edition in Game though and I bought a KFC to make up for the lack of steelbook. So still a pretty successful day.

    A rallycross daily? Excellent, will be giving that a go later!  (The DS3 is the only rallycross car I've brought, so hopefully I can post a half decent time!)

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Yep, I'm so happy to have played a small part of this! Ditto! Congrats for getting to this point @KickUp, @Hatward, @soundfx and all the rest of the team. I hope the game gets the praise that I (and I daresay most of the forum) believe it deserves!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I know Matt Leblanc, and unlike the American Top Gear idiots (minus Faust) he actually at least knows and races cars. Alright, if only they'd hired Chris Harris instead of Evans, that would give a professional touch to an automotive program; however, I doubt Chris Harris turned down the offer.  I read they're both involved along with Sabine Schmitz, and some other retired black F1 driver guy? Heh. The hosts are: Chris Evans Chris Harris Eddie Jordan Matt LeBlanc Rory Reid Sabine Schmitz The only host I'm struggling to come to terms with at the moment is Eddie Jordan. He has no place there: unless they intend to have a running feature on the new show talking about failed formula one teams, in which case he is the perfect choice. I've talking one of the chaps at work into popping out at lunchtime and buying the game, so I'm going to go with him and see if the local Sainsburys have a copy of the steelbook!

    Anyone see the latest post on Facebook from Liam Doran? https://www.facebook.com/LiamDoranUK/photos/a.186423294736228.40845.173362692708955/1100303256681556/?type=3&theater It's a picture of his second RS200... ...and this text: "Headed to JRM Racing HQ today to see the Mini RX SuperCar in its all new @monsterenergy#britishbomb livery and get the seat fitting done.  Might post some teasers later on, keep a look out. For now though, here's a car that I'm dragging around the country behind me before its day out in Central London tomorrow for the official @dirtgame#dirtrally launch event!!" Does this mean that this RS200 will be driving round London as part of the launch? I would take a day off work to go and see that!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Not Gossip (and I doubt any of you care), but I thought I'd post an update on my progress so far. After securing the World Rallycross Championship, popping my Pikes Peak cherry and taking some rally wins in the Mini, I thought it was time to man up and try something more challenging. Group B in Finland seemed like a good idea, so I selected my ride and headed for the first stage... ...many minutes later than it should have done, I finally managed to cross the finish line: it's going to take them a month to recover all the bits of Peugeot 205 I have left in the trees.
