  1. Looking forward to the 911 and 037 but - sorry in advance for the negativity - is anyone keen on any of the garish Deluxe liveries thus far? Would rather see one or two "real" liveries (or at least realistic looking liveries) in place of those that have been added. 

    The Jon Armstrong Fiesta R5 livery is the only extra one I have really liked so far.

    The early 2000s package will sell like cupcakes, and it makes sense leaving that for further DLC to keep money coming in.

    Yeah, this is the period that many of us having been harping on about for years, so the DLC is sure to sell well. 

    The quattro trophy ("Fire Up That Car... Again") was bugged at release @JorritVD which might account for why the completion for that is low. 

    "Adaptable" is still bugged as well, so the completion figure for that is minute as well.

    Yeah, i'm poking @PJTierney to try and work on the patch notes to be at least somewhat complete.  It looks good for CM as well as let's us see plenty of stuff getting fixed/changed.

    Right, I just checked and I can confirm that the S14 Impreza sound is unchanged on the PS4. Is this something that should have changed in all versions with v1.5 @PJTierney

    Anyone know what the bumper mounting infraction was? I have to assume it was safety based for how seriously they took it, it certainly wasn't a performance thing which might otherwise explain them wiping out his points haul for the weekend.

    It was thickness of material, rather than mounting. The regulations say that the maximum material thickness is 1.5mm, the GCK bumper was made from material that was 1.96mm.

    What's not right about it?  It's the real thing 😉

    The audio was recorded from a real S14 @F2CMaDMaXX, but the turbo noise currently occurs at the wrong time in DR2.0. 

    At the moment you get compressor stall ("chatter") from the turbo far too frequently. The real S14 doesn't do that. Pretty sure that the CM audio gurus are aware of the error though and are going to address it.

    maybe its the SUBARU Impreza ?, it was tweeted somewhere as sound recording a month ago or so, but that should not be "big deal", as it was known?

    The Impreza that was being recorded would be a brand new addition to the game, the roadbook suggests that it is a car already in the game that is getting a tweak.

    The S14 Impreza will hopefully be getting an audio tweak, as it's not right at the moment.

    There's gossip material in the Roadbook today :classic_ninja:

    "As a quick tease, there’s one car in particular that is expected to have updated audio in Version 1.6."

    The news that 1.6 is on the way, audio updates are coming or something else?... 

    ...really hope that 1.6 fixes the last of the trophy issues. That platinum beckons!

    Abbring was put really much as the "Rally man", but has quite a background in RX with his family and on his own.  

    Yeah, Abbring did a lot of test miles in the ES Motorsport Fabia, so he knows that car better than most. Although he has no competition experience I'd say he's a lot more experienced with car setup than Rokas was in the Fabia.

    Not a bad ARX event. Suprised that Speed won again.

    Yeah, there are obviously a lot of factors at play, but it does make you question the situation at Subaru the last few years: has that car been closer to race winning pace than many thought and was it just the driver(s) holding it back?

    Asked on the Loenbro IG page if Block will return in ARX this year. It seems he will be and it seems in a Fiesta. 🙂

    As much as the Focus seemed to be a fan favourite it still, despite a lot of effort, seems to be inferior to the Fiesta. I hope Block (and Arpin) manage to secure some decent results this year. They really need Block out there to push the numbers up as well.

    What an insane weekend. Wah. So mad. This is why I love RX.

    So disappointed for Marklund and GCK. Even if the rules are the rules, it's not fair for that team.

    Kevin Abbring is the real surprise for me. What a nice drive.

    Deception from the RX Cartel. I was waiting for a team strategy during the semi, Doran could have forced to slow cars behind him and secure a place for Bakkerud but no... and spotters were not at the highest level this weekend ! 🤔

    Agreed with regards to Abbring, first time I think we have seen the true potential of that Fabia (and that must be reassuring for the team to see given how much money ES Motorsport have thrown at that car). 

    I am not a Marklund fan, so I must admit I wasn't that sad to see him get disqualified. Bit of a blunder from the team there, I was debating the possible technical positives (or negatives) of their error after reading about it. 

    I thought the penalty for Kevin Hansen was a bit strong, but then I thought the same when they penalised Gronholm in Abu Dhabi, so they are 1:1 now. Such a shame that Gronholm has missed two rounds as, even with multiple wins, it's going to be very difficult for him to close in on the leaders. 

    Massively disappointed for Liam. I know he isn't everyone's favourite, but his drive in the semi and final was superb, such a shame the car let him down.

    - Make it possible to have an 8 car grid, like they have in the French Rallycross finals (cough.... and the old days of GRC ... cough). And it was possible in DiRT 3 (ok. doesn't mean it works now). I think it's probably more limited to due to the WRX licensing.
    - Consolidation finals also in the grid format as the semi-final and final (now they are like qualifying, so next to each other)

    I'd actually prefer to keep things realistic and have 6 car grids and the proper semi/final structure. The British Championship has had 8-10 car finals in the past, but the results haven't always been great...

    ...however having the option for those who want the above would be nice!

    I'd of course like to see more cars and tracks in RX, but I'd also like to see the Group B RX cars get proper treatment.

    Chernobyl. What a heck of a series it's. After disappointing GOT finale, HBO has created a master piece.

    I am still yet to watch (any!) GoT, but I watched Chernobyl and thought it was absolutely fantastic. Both compelling and terrifying viewing.

    Looking forward to trying Latvia, but not as much as I am looking forward to throwing it into the first corner in Germany 100ft before The apex

    Managed to do a handful of laps around Latvia and it's pretty damn enjoyable but, like you, I am really looking forward to attempting some backwards entries into turn one at Estering!

    It should do yes.

    If you've got an active FIA RX Championship in progress it won't show but when you create a new one it'll be there.

    Brilliant, thanks for the confirmation! I guessed it wouldn't appear in ongoing Championships, but hoped it would be added to new ones!

    Same thing happened with Germany. PSN seems a little unpredictable when it comes to DLC availability.

    Well it was available from midnight (and, unlike the Focus/Impreza release, both cars were immediately available for download), however neither cars has popped up in game. 

    Lesson learned: don't stay up late waiting for new content, just play it the next day! (assuming it's working today)
