    This just in:

    The "reacquainted" part is gossip worthy?  Hope they are looking at CMR3 as well, its all about tge interface.  
    Notice how there is a "Fiesta" pen beside the modes page? "Fiesta" is Spanish f or "party" and the book is open on section "5.0" so I think the hint is obvious there: 

    PARTY MODES CONFIRMED FOR DIRT 5.0

    Well I've been debating cars for a while, what I'd really want is something rear-wheel drive with a bit of power, but unfortunately that's not what I can afford! :( So I've gone for a Focus, mainly because it was a 1.8 turbo!
    Is that a diesel motor? We don't get any Foci in the states with a 1.8L.

    Just picked up a Fiesta ST last week, it is my first turbo car and I am completely addicted to boost. Also drove the Focus ST and liked it a lot, but fell in love with the light weight feeling of the Fiesta. Plus its my daily city commuter so the smaller size was attractive.
    Everything is better with boost: FACT. I haven't read a bad word about the latter generation Fiesta ST's, so I'd say you made a sound choice!

    And here's from a Mitsi driver :wink:
    Why would you want to pee on your own car?

    I really wanted an EVO X but the Fiesta was such a better value as far as operating costs are concerned.
    If operating costs are a concern, then you were wise to avoid both an Evo or a Subaru!

    I'm still glad I live in America, where the GASOLINE is sitting around $2/gallon. And we don't get taxed on our stupid big engines... even if my cars only a i4...

    We have manly 99 RON petrol here, not that tap water you call Gasoline over there...

     (I'm jealous really: I want cheap fuel!)

    What the **** is going on?
                             
    Just your typical reaction to being cut off the daily dose of gossip. Sideffects may include foaming from the mouth and intensive usage of funny pictures
    ^ That. Hopefully more will be said about the invite thing soon: I'm hoping that when there is something ready to show off it won't be long before we learn more!
    Yes, the last time there was an invite list good things happened! Plus it could be my first road trip in my new car
    Ooooh, what you got? If I am fortunate enough to get an invite again I will probably train it up there, as driving the Scoob to Southam and back will cost me a small fortune in petrol! :D

  5. Unfortunately, whilst there have been lots of winners this season, although it was exciting, it only really helped Ogier extend his lead
    Still better than having him win every single round though, at least in my opinion.
    Yeah. I've treated this years WRC as a series of individual events rather than a Championship. The overall result was a foregone conclusion, but the individual event results where interesting. 

    I hope all the winners from 2016 will be able to consistently challenge in 2017.

    so basically turning it into f1 ? :D

    you look at what is the key of the game focus on that. rally is more about the raw get in race of the course. the rest is pretty much immaterial. its like icing a steak. the core experience should be tasty enough that there is no need to add extras for the sake of adding them.

    everyone has different opinions though. i respect yours ;)
    'icing a steak' is my new favourite phrase.
    How do you ice a steak anyways? I'm just imagining spreading chocolate or cream cheese icing on a steak, and frankly that makes me sick.
    Then again, you guys also like blood pudding.
    Black pudding is awesome. Deal with it. :smiley:

    And they’re not just busy eating teacakes. Or Yorkie bars.

    Can anyone shed some light on if this is clever gossip or just random stuff? :-)
    Is this in the thread, or elsewhere? I'm hoping that the Codemasters tea and biscuit day that was discussed with @ChristinaMc a few weeks ago is still on the cards.

    is it only me who just wanted to rally without the full trimmings on to skip through?

    i actually like how dirt rally is so minimal to get to what i want to do. which is pick location and start. not watch this what that wait then progress. 
    No, you're not alone there! Perhaps a slightly prettier service area (like the one in CMR 2005) and more refinements in the menu would be nice, but time spent driving through ceremonial starts and the like is time that I would rather spend racing on a stage!

  9. Few photos from my motorsport outings in the last month. Couple from the British Rallycross Championship at Lydden...





    ...few from the World Rallycross Championship at Loheac...







    ...and finally some shots from the European Grasstrack Championship at Swingfield:







    First time I've watching grasstrack and I was very impressed: a bunch of lunatics on bikes and even bigger nutters in the sidecars!

  10. I had some fun last weekend

    This looks like a ridiculous amount of fun! Was hoping to give the Scoob a run to Rallyday but I just couldn't fit it in. Seems to be some mixed comments on the show itself, but it looks like you had a good time!

    Hands up who think @ChristinaMc (knowing that @tbtstt missed them) is now rubbing ithe in our faces :smiley:

    Also, I don't like that the new PT area is being setup and I won't be able to schedule a flight to get there:(


    Once again, harsh treatment from the Codemasters team. I'm sure they will be apologizing by way of tea and biscuits when they organize the community day though... 

    In other news I will make a start on my pictures from Loheac this week. Should have a few  pictures of all the fantastic racing that @ChristinaMc and co. missed because they went home early. I'm sure watching it on TV was just as good. ;) 
    All over the tea and biscuits situation. ;)

    And, I would love to see a few pictures from Loheac! Absolutely gutted we didn't stay. Watching it on TV wasn't the same, :( Although being at home did give me the opportunity to second screen between WRX and F1... the WRX was by far the better show though.
    Very much later than planned, but I finally caught up with my photos and uploaded an album of Loheac pictures last night. Few of my faves...













    Full gallery of images can be seen here:

  12. I'd imagine it's more like a production milestone, like hitting a development target/certain build of the game, or getting certain parts of the game given the go ahead. 
    Your sensible answer seems out of place in the gossip thread @RallyDriven. Please try replying again, this time with more ludicrous speculation in your comment.
