  1. Yeah, I have lost track of how many times it has been nailed back together now. I am not holding my breath that it's going to run for the whole day, but fingers crossed it lasts! Steve Harris had issues with his RS200 at Silverstone, but it was an absolute missile once they got the problems sorted.
  2. Yeah, the Retros took a while to get going at Silverstone, but the semi-finals and finals were great. The entry looks really solid again at Lydden, Liam (Doran) is out in the Retros this time so I am hoping we get to some sideways antics! 110% agree with you: it's a shame that Martin is most known to the mainstream for "that" incident at Finland, but he was hugely talented on and off the track.
  3. Second British Rallycross round of the year on Lydden Monday, entry looks pretty decent so looking forward to that. PS: Awesome choice of avatar image @b0yc1e!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Well I (along with everyone else I think!) had automatically assumed that they were new additions to the 2000cc class, however a post by @gleylancer571 in this thread: Says that the Impreza is in R4 @Mike Dee: so there seems to be some confusion!

    DiRT Rally 2.0 - Car Inaccuracies

    Minor spot but, having mentioned in another thread, I thought I'd put it here as well: the PSRXVW Polo R Supercar is shown as having an inline engine when the bonnet is up, pretty sure it's a transverse setup in real life.

    It was discussed elsewhere recently (maybe on Discord), but if I recall correctly the JRM NR4 Impreza has a 5 speed box.

    Well that's definitely an S14 engine bay! Great attention to detail. Always irks me when the exterior is perfect but the engine looks wrong! (Like the Polo R)

    To be fair, the Nissan is the original S14! If you are going to post an S14 though, at least post one with a proper front end...

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I just double checked and that's correct @F2CMaDMaXX. I can't find an exact date, but UK performance variants (i.e. WRX and WRX STI) had definitely dropped the Impreza from 2010. I was 100% sure it was earlier than 2015 as one of the local club guys bought a hatch around that time and I remember him telling everyone that it wasn't an Impreza! The name wasn't dropped from all markets until 2015, which I assume is where @gfRally is getting his date from. With that in mind, I will cancel my alternate theory (because, even if it was 2008 in the UK, the UK market alone was too small to influence the look of the car) and return to my original thought... ...the hood scoop was purely aesthetic on most of the Impreza WRCars and, with the focus on aerodynamics, I would guess that is why it was dropped.

    I could be mistaken, but I think it was dropped from some markets sooner than others, I think the UK was one of them... (...or I might just be getting the dates mixed up in my head!)

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I have always assumed it was a case of function over form. Now I think about it though, the Impreza name was dropped from the performance models in 2008, wasn't it? The Impreza was the non-turbo (non-bonnet scoop) hatch, maybe that's why? I know the S14 has a few fans, but I think a lot of people are curious to know why the hatch was favoured as I would say its the least requested Impreza WRCar. Perhaps @ChristinaMc might be able to get us an answer at some point!

    I am not that big fan of the S14, but it looks awesome in that shot! I assume the DS21 trophy can be unlocked in freeplay?

    Absolutely. Everyday guns stop gun crime. Obviously.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    The rallycross Supercars all seem to take forever. I am struggling to make it to the semi finals in the basic car, so I am only doing the four heat races on some rounds. I think I am going to end up doing the whole Masters Championship, getting demoted back to Elite, then running through that again in order to get enough mileage on the Polo to fully upgrade it.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    I wish there was a way of racking up the mileage quicker (or bring the requirement down) in order to fully upgrade the cars. I have got the maximum engineer perk paid for, but I have started a rallycross Championship in a new car and I am having to crawl through it just to put mileage on the car.

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    Dropping rallycross tracks in pairs would be brilliant if that was the case, as that would likely mean that both the rally and rallycross fans would get more content in season two. Although I am not keen on the CotA track I do hope that CM complete the World RX track roster as that means we'd get Riga and Estering. Hopefully season 2 news starts coming soon: I am anxiously waiting for Group B rallycross news!

    I hate dubbed music, even on drone videos! It's good, though I might be keener if I knew if it an authorised video (drones are a major bother at work, so seeing unauthorised drone work is pretty annoying). Best drone video I have seen recently: Yeah, I know it's not rally, but this is mighty impressive drone/camera placement in my eyes.

    Dog leg shift pattern is a cool touch!

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    It's Group A, therefore it is awesome and should be in the game! (I can see how it would conflict with the Impreza and has been overlooked though: the main purpose of the Impreza was to address the size issue of the Legacy)

    DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

    That's as I understand it as well. My theory is that at Codemasters someone cracked a joke about including a turbo cheat. I have just thought of another variation on your list @gfRally: if we could get some sort of Solberg tribute pack then they could use it to bring the DS3 back to the rallycross Supercar class!

    Sorry. Couldn't help myself...
  24. I hope Kevin does well this year, as he has frequently found himself in inferior machinery the last couple of years. I thought the 208 was fastest car on track last year, it just wasn't reliable. If they have resolved the reliability issues then the Hansen MJP cars are going to be the ones to beat this year, just hope they don't run away with it. Spain should be very interesting as I think it will give a better gauge as to the relative performance of all the teams.
