    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    BEST. IDEA. EVER. In semi-related news, I just got a delivery... ...first job: get Black Ops III out of the box and sell it on ebay!

    TWO WEEKS TO GO! In anticipation of the console release I have (finally) placed an order with Amazon... ...need any last minute pre-release PS4 testing done next week @KickUp? :smiley:

    Best moment in the trailer at 1:09: slow motion Group A Impreza, in proper colours, sideways on full lock.

    Not gossip as such, but an extended interview with Paul Coleman about the console release up on IGN: http://uk.ign.com/articles/2016/03/17/no-compromise-on-quality-for-dirt-rally-on-ps4-xbox-one

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Yep, I'm so excited right now! 4 days of solid coursework, a week of skiing, a week of panic coursework and then Dirt time! I've got a stag do, a wedding and two days of rallycross to fill the time between now and then!  Your own stag and wedding? Because if so, that'd be one heck of a honeymoon. Hell no: got better things to spend my money on thanks! :smiley:  (But if it was my wedding then the stag do and ceremony would be taking place at the rallycross!)

    Possibly. I seem to remember someone mentioning that the game would be there but perhaps not in an official capacity.  Excellent! Wondered if there would be any presence there so close to console release.

    Will there be any Codemasters presence at Lydden Hill for the second round of the British Rallycross Championship (at the end of March) @KickUp, or only at the World round?

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    All segments are allowed, it's the engine displacement that is mainly limiting the factories from putting the "bigger models". Or rather they prefer to use the production car that was already designed more for a smaller engine. Main reason why you don't see Impreza anymore. I thought it was mainly the shorter wheelbase that they were after; the shorter the better. Yeah. Smaller cars for the smaller engines was how I understood it.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Fully agree! The M-Sport Fiesta RX is my fave looking modern Supercar, I don't think this is anywhere near as nice.  With M-Sport behind the car though, I'd expect it to be competitive!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Little bit more rallycross news this morning. Ken Block released Gymkhana 8... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hf6ke1-i3E ...and, at the end of the video, the new Focus RS RX is revealed: Although this news isn't that surprising (marketing the Focus RS does tie in perfectly with the World Rallycross initiative) I am actually a little disappointed as I love the look of the M-Sport Fiesta's. Still, a different shape on the grid for 2016 is probably a good thing.

    Does OMSE even have any drivers left? Bakkerud went to Block's team, Nitišs wrote on twitter, that he'll be leaving the team as well. Timerzyanov will be joining the Austrian team They don't have any drivers at the moment: one of the junior Eriksson's seems likely though and, if rumours are to believed, the son of another famous WRC driver as well...

    That sounds optimistic! ;) Ha! I agree with you with regards to the arrival of Toyota: I'm not expecting much out of them next year, especially based on the way they are running the rally program so far.  I wouldn't underestimate Citroen . I personally don't think they have been "fully committed" during any of the VW years, so next year could prove very interesting: beating VW isn't going to be easy though!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Only a minor point, but Solberg is not part of any Citroen team.: he is still technically a privateer. As much as I enjoy following Rally America, it's really not the first rally series that springs to mind when I think about "diversity". It's effectively dominated by one manufacturer - far more so than the WRC - and the list of overall event winners over the last couple of years is very short.  For me the WRC has been on the rise again the last couple of years. I'll be honest and say I'm not that excited about it this year as, knowing what is coming next year, the 2016 season is really a stop gap between regulations. With the rule changes in 2017 though, a dedicated push from Citroen and the return of Toyota I am seriously anticipating the next WRC season: more than I have been for a long time.

    Block is going to be one to watch. If he can keep it on the track he has the potential to be a challenger for the drivers title. And if not, we get some cool looking crashes. It's a win - win Haha! After his previous European appearances Block has a prime opportunity to silence his critics, I hope he doesn't disappoint!  One thing is for sure, Petter is going to have to fight very hard to make it three titles in a row.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    No need to punish yourself that harshly @KingOfCoins.  ;) Incredible bit of news. The Loeb rumour has been floating round for a while, I was concerned that, if he did get a drive with Peugeot, Davy Jeanney would be left without a seat again. The plan gives, Jeanney, Loeb and two Hansen's seats!  Have to say I'm expecting one of the Peugeot-Hansen teams to take the title again, but the battle for the drivers title could go anywhere at the moment: and the driver annoucements haven't finished yet... Has Petter confirmed what he is doing yet? He will be defending his title using his DS3. No word on whether he will be part of a two car team yet.  Also waiting for announcements from EKS, OMSE, Munnich Motorsport and JRM as well.  Why not watch both? I'll be keeping up with the GRC, but the direction the Championship has taken over the last couple of years isn't to my liking.

    A whole DiRTy Gossipers Forum on the PS4?  We should feel exploited!  XD Yeah forgot to mention that, nice nod to the community from the team :) This picture from the blog... ...sums up how I intend to be spending many hours with the game! Come on April!  I was planning on spending them similarly, however I feel a more accurate example would be a tree in Wales! Haha! Perhaps I should reword my previous post then; that image reflects how I want to look during many hours with the game, however it's more likely I'll be spending my time bouncing rallycross cars off the barriers instead of gracefully sliding around corners!
