Does anyone have the Golf MK4 and 206 yet?

I have audio issues on the replays of Greece stages. Cameras work fine. I'm on Steam.

Are custom liveries allowed now? If so I might share some stuff here again. I take screenshots after almost every stage.

What are your thoughts on the BMW M2? I tried it in Time Trial and at first glance it doesn't seem to be as competitive as the Aston or the Porsche. Still, it's an unexpected addition to a category I felt it would be largely ignored. I still wish we had the Abarth 124 and the new Alpine over the muscle cars.

Is Codies even considering this? If we can't get decent liveries due to licensing issues at least give the community the chance to amend that. I feel like a couple of DLC cars (Lancia 037, Citroën C4, the newly released '01 Focus) could use some better liveries.

Ok, I'm deluxe owner so always got the DLC one day earlier.

Still no news on purchase availability? Everyday I check the Steam store and find nothing.

Will the new seasons be released on the very August 27th? Or we will be able to purchase earlier? I wish there was more classic content, and by classic I mean older than 1980. Don't see Codies adding more stuff when the game turns one year old.

I would gladly pay it if there was a decent roster of cars (like DiRT 1) and obviously the three variants of the track; gravel, hybrid and tarmac. Sadly, with Polphony holding the rights to the race we won't see Codies doing Pikes Peak for a long while, if ever.

The DiRT Rally version is shorter? Never noticed that. I always assumed it was the full lenght. I could more or less recognize the same turns and places in both games.

There is a mod for BeamNG.drive which recreates Pikes Peak, in both full gravel and full tarmac configurations. It's not as good as DiRT Rally IMHO, but it's something.

I know, but without the option of Pikes Peak available, bringing back hillclimb would necessarily mean creating a new track from zero. I think all of us would rather see that time and effort dedicated into making new rally stages. Hillclimb is an awesome discipline among motorsports, but let's be honest, Pikes Peak aside, it's not very well known globally compared to rallying or rallycross. If Codies didn't have the chance to license Pikes Peak for the original DiRT Rally, I doubt they would have even bothered with hillclimb at all.

Pikes Peak is entirely out of realm for Codemasters as the race's videogame rights are currently owned by Polphony (Gran Turismo) and will be for another 7 years, I think.

I'm going to be the odd one and wish for a Saab 96, so the (unfairly unloved) H1 FWD class can get up to four cars.
