Yeah, it would be 600 BHP for rallycross and, from what I recall reading at the time, the ran the engine the same for gymkhana. 350 BHP would be the power when the car was running a smaller restrictor for rally.
-
That car ran in three different specifications, but I believe the gymkhana spec was closer to the rallycross (rather than rally) configuration, so I'd say between 550-600 BHP. And yeah, it's not the best way to win races, but I bet it was a lot of fun to do!

I must confess am not convinced by some of the crowd figures that are quoted for World RX events, I think they are often cumulative totals over two (or three) days. Loheac is a very busy event, but I don't believe that 80,000 walk through the gate on the Sunday! Irrespective I definitely agree that the French seem to love rallycross. The French National series is brilliant and the crowds always seem enthusiastic.

No hate from me, but none of them have had the same impact of the first one*. * Obvious Subaru bias aside.

Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi – Available Now in DiRT Rally 2.0

From a spectating standpoint I personally think the Yas Marina rallycross track is pretty boring but, exactly like Silverstone, it is much more fun to drive than it is to spectate. -

Typo on my part: 42.0 is my average, 41.4 is my best thus far! (and I'm not cutting) Will check out the video before racing again to see where I can shave more time off. Yeah, it does normally and I didn't notice one, that's why I wondered if I got it after the car ran straight on after the finish. -

Averaging 42.0, fastest lap has been a 41.4 (in the S1). Agreed! Much like Silverstone, its a circuit that seems to be very easy to over drive and lose time. I am not that consistent with the last hairpin either: I keep initiating too early and having to correct to avoid the marker on the inside of the turn. Has anyone else got a penalty after crossing the line? I have been going flat out over the line on the last lap to get the best time, but then I noticed I seem to have picked up a time penalty? -
Ah yeah, that was when he collected half the body work from the quattro on his way round! One of the mechanics for the team posts on another forum I'm on, the damage wasn't as bad as expected (new front upright, new suspension, new wishbones, new bonnet, new bumper, new radiator and some repairs to the tub): still pretty expensive work though!
-
Was that when it got bent earlier this year, or back when it was a rally car?

Not yet, but I have overshot the joker exit and missed the left-hand turn on several occasions, plus I have smashed the car after crossing the finish line by carrying so much speed on the last lap! -
Its a replica @MattyH1812. Was originally built for rally in the 80's and was converted for rallycross a couple of years ago.

Yeah, I think the AI needs tweaking. Much like Silverstone, although I am not overly enamoured with it in real life, it is a challenge in game. Having now driven it in DR2.0, I can understand the issues with the finishing line and joker. -

Not World Rallycross - actually the other end of the budget spectrum - but I went to Lydden for the BTRDA round at the end of last month. Almost 100 cars entered of all shapes and sizes... ...I was torn between the Chevette and Volvo as my favourite car of the day!

Full agree, really glad to see more realistic liveries being added now.

Yas Marina Circuit, Abu Dhabi – Available Now in DiRT Rally 2.0

Not my favourite track on the calendar, but I am still looking forward to giving it a go! -
Skimmed through the ARX coverage last night, that circuit definitely put the "rally" into rallycross. Very interested to learn more about the S1 EKS are taking to Rally Legend. It certainly looks like a "proper" rallycross car, be interesting to see how it fairs over any sort of distance.

Project E (or rather Projekt E) is an electric showcase series that will be joining the World Rallycross Championship next year. The first car was unveiled before the Latvian World RX round: https://www.fiaworldrallycross.com/article/10469/img-unveils-projekt-e-racecar

New locations? Oooooh, I'm intrigued! My real motivation for asking is, if we are to get more seasons, then it's likely that we will get to see more cars. Specifically cars that come in blue and yellow...
-
Just pondering a question this morning: how likely do we think further seasons are for DR2.0? I see several mentions made about certain suggestions being more likely for "a future title", so I wonder how long additional content will keep coming to DR2.0 if there are other games on the horizon?

I'd like to see Bakkerud appear on one of the Hoonigan channels. Bakkerud thrashing a Supercar around the burnyard would be pretty entertaining!

"It's not a 22B. There is no Question."

Incidentally, if there is an early Impreza WRCar coming to DR2.0 @PJTierney, then could you please ask the team to make the most of it and attach a "No, it's not a 22B!" trophy to the car please?
