Excellent. Just wanted to check that my optimism isn't misplaced and that the GRX i20 is still being worked on.

Interesting point for discussion: given how long ago he left now, how much influence (if any) do you think Paul had on DR2.0? I personally think that DR2.0 has been received much better than D4, so perhaps they will just move straight to DR3.0... that said I am sure the decision on subsequent title was made early into the life of DR2.0 so, with that in mind, I am expecting to see D5 as the first CM rally title on the next generation of console. I wonder if much is happening at CM at the moment, or if all development has ceased due to COVID-19?

True. It does seem a massive coincidence that GRX teased the car, then the driver names were added (which is very similar to how the 2019 Supercars arrived during season 4) and PJ himself has said that "smaller" content may still follow after the Flat Out pack... ...it may come to nothing, but I think there are a lot of strong indicators for this rumour.

GRX have teased it twice now. I'm not giving up yet!

Perhaps @gleylancer571. But Gronholm, Timerzyanov, Nitiss and Heikkinen were added in the last patch. Why add them if they weren't there before and put them in the wrong cars?...

How do you know it isn't going to be in game @math444?

Just completed the 1995 Spain challenge: missed opportunity to put some waving Subaru mechanics before the finish!

What about the Hyundai @PJTierney? Will everyone get to sample that?

The S4S5 is actually faster than I was expecting. I am not challenging my fastest 2000cc times in it, but I am not as far off as I was expecting. I find it very predictable to drive. Yeah, I am really hoping a plain WR blue livery will come for the Impreza... ...any chance in the next patch @PJTierney? (Which I assume is due next month?)

I actually blew several runs on the hairpins in the second half of the stage: came in a little bit too hot, ran wide and then slid off the road: very frustrating to "survive" the fast sections and then throw away a good time on a slow bit! I'll probably try running the same stage in the '07 Focus later, as I am sure that I'll post a quicker time in one of the later 2000cc cars... but then I'm going straight back to the Subaru again.

Yeah, I was surprised as well. I daresay awards change very little, but it would have been nice to have seen a game I consider to be very good receive some recognition. I hope DR2.0 appearing on PS Plus next month at least wins a few more fans over.

Finally managed to get a clean enough run in the Subaru to crack the 7 minute mark on Newhouse Bridge last night. I was well ahead of my previous times with three sectors to go, so I was very cautious towards the end, just to make sure I didn't throw it away near the finish!

Marble Madness meets DiRT Rally. I'm in! PS: If you remember Marble Madness, you're probably old.

It was, but I noticed that one of the interviews with Baumanis mentioned he was added with the "agreement with the other teams" (or words like that)... ...it's 100% an April Fools joke! (sadly) Hopefully the Bennett announcement isn't: I'd like to see what someone more experienced could do in that car.

I haven't had DiRT Rage for a while, but I got it pretty badly over the weekend! I was trying to do the long Scottish stage with the Legacy (where you have to win by two seconds) and the same stage with the 6R4 (where you have to hit a certain average speed). I seemed unable to get a clean run in for either and was getting a "bit" annoyed. Had to switch off the PS4 and come back a couple of hours later to try again: ended up doing them both back-to-back last night. I think the last 6R4 challenge (in the upper tier) is on Newhouse Bridge? Sure that is going to involve more swearing, but at least I will get to learn the stage in preparation for my attempt at the final trophy for the Flat Out pack!

Here you go @SkyRex, previous discussion on the trophy here:

As @HoksuHoo says, the scoring (and thus final placing) for a rallycross event is based on your results at the intermediate stage (after all four qualifying heats), semi final and final. I can't remember if it was in the Gossip thread or posted elsewhere, but I recall a few people having to do it a couple of times to get the trophy to pop. Daft question, but have you definitely got all the assists (including external cameras) disabled?

Where did you qualify in the intermediate standings @SkyRex? I am trying to remember for certain if the result shown for your qualifying race(s) are where you finished in the individual race or where you finished overall in that qualifying round. You might have won all four qualifying races, but if your times weren't that quick you won't have got that many points at the intermediate stage?

NOOOOOOOOOOO! Damn, was hoping to see him beat Bennett again!

This has @JorritVD written all over it!

Damn. Forgot to do it last night (I went straight to the McRae challenges!), will have to try later!

Possibly, but the fact that the Hyundai has already been teased does seem like a bit of coincidence.

Haha! As soon as I got a notification that there was a reaction from elura11 I knew it would be a negative!

Yeah, great driving from @JorritVD. Looked like Bennett was getting a bit desperate in the end there...
