    Have the developers at codies seen the amount of erallies ongoing at the minute? Many UK national rallies are running erallies in place of their actual events The Malcolm Wilson rally being the latest to run an event. Would be great if Codies allowed clubs to select any car from any class so each rally could have loads of different classes running in one event.

    Do you have now the same problem as me that other stages are not good enough? Scotland is so good you don't want to ride "old" stages anymore 😄

    New England and NZ were my favourites preciously as they were fast and flowing but they seem quite ‘easy’ Now compared to bonny Scotland

    You then have to spend too much time in service and get a penalty. 

    I seen a great story in the other day told by one of the Prodrive guys who were in the stage trying to slow Colin down. He could hear him approaching and could hear him change up around the corner, at point he knew he wasnt going to slow and leapt down the banking next to the road. There was supposed to be four of them but 2 of them quickly jumped out of the way when they realised he wasnt stopping!

    If this is the final DLC then all I can say is thank you to Codemasters for creating such a masterpiece. Its given me hours and hours of fun (and frustration!). Most Iconic rally cars are featured and the dev really have listened to the community feedback

    Im looking forward to the scenarios also. Im hoping for one where you have to beat his average speed set in the 2001 Focus during the 2001 Wales rally GB St Gwynno stage. The incar footage is probably the best ever and as a spectator in the flesh it was the best driving Ive ever seen.

    I've never heard of a 205 RWD before though so no idea where eWRC has got that info.

    A converted RWD 205 was quite common in the British clubman scene in the 80s and 90s. There was one with a Hyabusa superbike engine in which would absolutely scream around and was completely sideways everywhere. I seen it quite a few times over Epynt and in the Royal Builth showground

    The '99 (S6) was the first one with a paddle shift @SkyRex. The gearbox was trialled late in '98 and then introduced in '99. It was actually a semi-automatic "H" pattern gearbox (oppose to being a sequential 'box). 

    If the early Impreza WRCar comes then it should go into 2000cc as it was far beyond Group A, that said, if the specs are accurate then it's going to be one of the slower cars in class... 

    ...not that I care, as I'll drive the wheels off it anyway! 

    They trialled paddles (or buttons) as far back as the 92 manx rally with Colin driving the Legacy. It messed up though and he had to use the manual shifter, theres a Bbc top gear rally report on youtube of the event. He still smashes everyone!

    Apologies if this has been raised before.

    I’m an admin for a historic only racing club (the latest cars we use are the 2001 focus, Impreza, and 206 and anything before). In November we ran a 5 day RAC rally using the H2 rwd class. Each country represented an area of the UK eg Wales was wales, New England was the North of England and Poland was Scotland and Germany was the ‘Micky mouse’ day 1 stages. 10 stages a day and if you retired on any day you were out of the event completely. 

    The event was a great success and for 2020 we’re thinking of using Group B in a similar format. What we be great would be if we could could pick all homoglated cars from that era. So, obviously Group B 4wd, but also the Group B rwd ( as the Manta 400s are such an iconic part of British rallying) and other cars such as the Ascona 400 which would have still been eligible to complete. 

    in essence it would be great if we could pick and choose the cars we want to run in a championship rather than being confined to one class.  This would also work where we hold one day sprints were everyone has to use the same car.
     

    Thoughts?
