    but for me WRC8 could not exist.

    That's how I have felt about a lot of the (recent) WRC titles. I have put time into them because they are rallying games, and I'll do the same with WRC8, but if they were missing from my gaming history I don't feel that would be a significant loss. 

    It's a real shame as, in the early Playstation days, the WRC games were essential purchases.

    Those 100 jumps at Finland, that’s basically 2 Stages 😄 

    I shall be catching up and getting back to 99% completion again tonight: I still haven't put in enough miles to unlock the outstanding DS21 trophy!

    But a livery for the polo R5 ? The Mitsubishi Mirage/Spacestar at least had some decent ones, the VW desperately need one...

    Given their connection to the game I am really surprised that we haven't seen another Solberg livery (or two) for the Polo R5. Hopefully that is something on the cards for a future season.

    what I don’t understand is why you still run with 2.0 L engines in the open category?

    Because - sorry to say it @gfRally - the EJ20 is the stronger engine and if it hadn't been for the US market the EJ25 wouldn't be as widespread as it is now. 

    All the cars I consider to the best examples of tuned/competition Subaru use EJ20 or EJ22 blocks.

    I'll check it out when it's on sale, it does look good tho 🙂

    Haven't picked up a COD game since BO3 and still haven't finished it lol

    Aside from Ghosts I haven't bought a CoD game since MW3! I played BO3 when it was free on PSN, but this is the first one that I have really wanted to play. 

    Played a bit more last night and had a brief go online. I'm not a massive multiplayer gamer, but did a bit of the Specs Ops mode and had a couple of really enjoyable games.

    Not enough RWD and/or group B cars in that game. Seems like a decent game if you like the current gen WRC cars though.

    I still want to pick it up, purely because it has the 2019 cars in it. All the videos I have watched of it seem to have dreadful car audio though!

    "It's the STi motorsports EJ20"G" (based on the g closed deck block, running k style shim under bucket heads), has been around in various forms in pretty much every race car that says STi. Including the rally cars, but also the BRZ super GT cars."

    EJ20 > everything. :classic_biggrin:

    Just been looking at that @AlexSpartan316. Possibly an error on the part of whoever is running the website but for the rally car...

    "Under the hood sits a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled STI engine with a ARA Championship-mandated 34mm turbo inlet restrictor." 

    ...and for the rallycross car...

    "Under the hood sits a 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder, turbocharged and intercooled BOXER engine. "

    @tbtstt no I believe they have been running 2.5s here since they where available to the American market.

    You're the authority on US rallying @gfRally and I wouldn't normally doubt you: but I'm still not convinced!

    I am 99% certain that the early Vermont cars were Group N/Spec C derived (and thus 2.0L). Was sure subsequent rally cars had stayed at 2.0L and the rallycross car(s) definitely are. 

    I notice that none of the current Vermont specification sheets seem to mention displacement: I wonder if that is because of marketing? 


  8. Managed to pick up a cheap copy of CoD locally at the weekend. Wrapped up the campaign last night and, thus far, very impressed with it. It certainly isn't ultra realistic, but it's a lot less ridiculous than the latter titles in the series and it is the best single player story since the original Modern Warfare (at least in my opinion). 

    Couple of real stand out missions, I shall be replaying the whole thing again at the toughest difficulty now!

    @tbtstt @AlexSpartan316 Since you mentioned it, the VT15 car runs a 2.5 liter engine (or based on that block) possibly heads/stroke have changed that displacement.  Unlike the rest of the world getting a EJ20, we have had a EJ25 for a while.  

    That's really interesting to read. I thought that the Vermont cars (rally and rallycross) were all still EJ20-based @gfRally, was the Vt15 the first car to go EJ25?

    I’m only joking.

    Well anyway it’s a 2000cc,if i’m Not wrong in America they run 2.0 engines in the open class...

    Yeah, it could go in 2000cc, but it would get spanked by the WRCars...

    ...I know we have pondered that car before (because @gfRally), as CM seem to have a good relationship with Subaru/US rally and they could maybe add an "Open" class. But what else would you put in the class with it?

    I could see VW going with the ID.3 when Projekt E starts.

    Yeah, I wonder if Projekt E is more up their street now, as they stated their interest in returning to World RX when/if electric happened. I am not sure just how involved VW Motorsport were with the 2019 ARX season as well, I was under the impression that their support for VARX was minimal this year. 

    Quite a record for the Beetle, though perhaps a slightly skewed claim, as the Beetle never faced the same level of competition (in my personal opinion) as the Polo did in World RX. 


  12. Thought I'd round up all the outstanding items reported so far in a single post:

    Rallycross - Supercars: 

    Volkswagen Polo R - Incorrect engine orientation (details here)
    Peugeot 208 - Lowest ride height not low enough (details here
    Peugeot 208 - Peugeot-Hansen team liveries incorrect (details here)

    Rally - Group A:

    Subaru Impreza - Additional headlights (night stage) incorrectly positioned

    Rally - R5:

    Skoda Fabia R5 - Lowest ride height not low enough (details here)

    Rally - Group B:

    Ford RS200 - Boost pressure needle disappearing (details here)

    Rally - 2000cc: 

    Subaru Impreza (2008) - Additional headlights (night stage) incorrectly positioned (details here)
    Ford Focus (2007) - Dash display not working (details here)
    Peugeot 206 - Incorrect compressor stall audio and lack of banging (details here)


    Some trivial points, but might save the devs a bit of time trawling through the outstanding items people have posted thus far! 

    NB: I haven't posted the gear selection animation issue in the Fabia and 206 as that has already been addressed.
