    so the Mini is in Season 4. I thought it was weird that we were getting just 2 cars on that release day.

    also, it means each release of RX cars brings one new car model and two ones that are 2019 versions of ones that are already in the game. at least only 1/3 of them are fiestas now...

    New
    - Renault Clio RS RX
    - MINI Cooper SX1
    - Ford Fiesta Rallycross (STARD) (as far as I understand this is Stard's MK7 verion, based on a R5 shell, so completly different than OMSE's MK7)
    - Ford Fiesta RXS Evo 5 (this is STARD's MK8 verion, different to the already available MK8 OMSE verion)
    - SEAT Ibiza RX

    Updated to 2019 spec:
    - Renault Megane RS RX
    - Ford Fiesta Rallycross (MK8)
    - Peugeot 208 WRX
    - Audi S1 EKS RX quattro

    Dec 17th - 1 new, 2 updated
    Jan 14th - 2 new, 1 updated
    Jan 28th - 2 new, 1 updated

    And I hope the livery packs bring some 2019 liveries to the older spec cars, and some extra 2018 liveries, and some 2019 ERX/ARX liveries. But that is just hope, gossip, speculation so far.

  2. Those are some cool cars. Funny to see they all have that Skoda Fabia WRC lookalike rear wing. The only problem is they currently not competing in ERX/WRX :S

    I always would wonder how my daily driver, a Volvo V40 R-Design, would look like as a RX Supercar. 
    it is the same base as the Focus from the Hoonigan team, so it could be a cool looking RX Supercar 😄 

    If Codemasters ever considers a full-blown RX game, maybe they should consider that you can build your own RX Supercar or Super 1600 or something else. Little bit with a builder module like in Need For Speed (but than completly RX focused ofcourse). That you can also choose the engine partner, which gearbox type, which electronics, different aero types, different suspension/damper, etc. 😮 Although I don't think this will ever happen, it is cool to dream about

    Lets bring that Marklund Polo back to DR2.0! I already have one driver interested 🙂

    image.png.f2d8cef4adff23a325d86aa70bc950f3.png

    Thomas is one of the top guys in ERX and a former NordicX champion and his Fiesta from 2018 is already in the game.

    As @PJTierney said, bringin back the old DR1 locations is also easier with licensing, might this also be the case with the cars? 

    Ofcourse the car is not announced as new paid DLC, but could be as free content (like DirtFish), please?

    Thomas Bryntesson (2018 Fiesta already in game)

    Sondre Evjen (technically not a Marklund Polo, but a Kristofferson Polo, but very similar mostly) (His RX2 livery was in DiRT4)
    image.png.ccd00be8d61ea08932ab88765d950187.png

    Peter Hedström (if I understand well, he took over the Marklund Polo concept now, so I guess the licensing might be now in his hands?)

    Aleš Fučík (also a Kristofferson Polo, but again similar to the Marklund spec)

    Then there are more (not full-time) Polo in ERX: Christer Dalmans, Daniel Thorén and Alexander Hvaal

    And in WRX there were guest entries.

    All of this please!

    The aero-free rallycross RS200 is still the best looking in my personal opinion and the primary Schanche RS200 is one of my all time favourites.

    There are some interesting liveries. I found now a website who got a nice overview 🙂

    For some if you just use the colors and number, you already have a great effect.

  5. A little sidetrack, but booted up Dakar 18 again on the PS4. As I not saw any Dakar 18 topics, I just quickly post it here.
    Did the Desafío Inca DLC (its free as far as I know) to have some fun, and I noticed the game has improved on some points.
    - It seems the cars go straight. In the beginning they always went to left or right, so you were constanly busy correcting it. 
    - The buggy type cars (MINI buggy, Pug 3008 DKR) now seem much better to drive, not constantly spinning out. 
    - The navigator not seems to be shouting constantly anymore. 

    At the Desafío Inca the roadbook is sometimes a bit tricky, so sometimes also just follow your own instinct, instead of the co-driver, who only is activated on certain points. If you just outside that point, it doesn't say anything anymore, till you to far and starts to shout a bit. So important to keep you focus on the roadbook as well than only listen to your co-driver. I not really think this is a bug, but more part of the challenge the game offers. 

    I recorded all three stages. If you interested, here is the video of stage one. 
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czPzaLcDykY 

    There is another DLC, the Desafío Ruta 40 Rally, which has 5 longer rally stages i believe compared to the 3 shorter but open area stages of the Desafío Inca DLC. I might plan to do that aswell, but than the first time I do it with a car, and possible with one of the buggy (MINI of PUG) and after will delete the game of my PS4 and maybe try it again in a few years. Also have ordered Wreckfest (Deluxe version) to have some fun (and my girlfriend like to crash things). So I kinda can create my own "career" with all of these games. Going from folkrace to rally(cross) to cross-country. 😄

    Livery editor was the best thing in Dirt 4 !
    And they removed it... 😢

    It was ok, but far to limited imo. Logos on strange places, just very few patterns, and for me the most frustrating part is that nummerplates depend on pattern instead of car/series/event

  7. Polo R5 in Germany. This first one is maybe one of my favorite shots.

    Whether it's likely to happen or not is a different story however. I imagine your night time one would only work on Abu Dhabi since the cars have painted on headlights 😉 

    I know the cars have no real headlights, but F1 cars non either. And in F1 2019 they also have a night races including a night Monaco:

    Okey, they have streetlights, but you can still put those moveable generator lightpoles from the rally stages to the RX track.

    But it is just a suggestion to give the RX racing a bit extras.

  9. So what about changing this livery

    image.thumb.png.760ab363130fd88ac904e2a5893572a6.png

    into this (D4 livery editor created)

    image.thumb.png.79e6551b7652c396807e4f90ed398292.png

    Btw, that crappy plain blue hurt for your eyes livery also comes on the 306 Maxi 😕

    DR2_Peugeot_306Maxi-2-1024x576.jpg

    For the 306 this OZ livery should return than (and maybe apply to the Focus as well)

  10. If complain about dust, than the game is pretty good.

    I only have two suggestions about dust:

    - dust should a bit thinner in RX, but should hang longer.

    - when jumping, the dust creating stops in DR2.0. Ussualy the car sucks the dust with it in the air and slowly becomes less in the air till it touched the ground again and creates dust. But really depends on the underground and humidity as well. So in Australia this is more than Wales.

    Yeah, the big jumps and motorcross style sections look cool, but I don't think rallycross needs gimmicks for good racing and, as has been proven in the past, these "spectacle" circuits just seem to result in drivers getting badly hurt. 

    Glad that the Euros were on this weekend, so I could watch some proper rallycross! :classic_biggrin:

    Well, I do understand, but I got into RX due to DiRT3 and... Global Rallycross. 

    Although the gimmicks are not needed for good racing, it is ofcourse an USP to attract new fans, together with a Foust, Block and Pastrana. And how more fans there are around the world, the better it is for the future of RX imo. 

    Most of the times I prefer the old school tracks. If that is RX or if that is with sportscar racing. But I think also the new Spa RX track is cool.

    And I think if the NRX track would be in the game, it might be one of the most popular ones. Although it might be a bit difficult due to licensing, NRX is not from IMG ofcourse, but maybe add it might be beneficial for NRX, ARX and WRX. People who liked NRX might follow now ARX and WRX as well. More teams might consider doing NRX. Etc. And this could f.e. result in Hyundai and Honda returning.

    No idea how he managed that, last year most of the drivers were using an electric limiter for the jump to hold them at the perfect speed.

    They now had to. I also think it not was the gap jump, but the double wave jump. I not think the last jump either, because the time would have been faster. Still amazing he finished the lap thought, must have been painful with three broken parts.

    positive news though, it seems Speed will do a natural recovery without surgery.

    It will take eight weeks and I wouldn’t be suprised after that he still need to do a lot of physical and possible mental recovery. His season is definitely over. 


  13. I wonder which livery the Peugeot will get.

    The 1999 livery is also pretty cool.
    1999_999_francois_delecour_rally_tour_de_corse_1999_-_f_delecour_-_d_grataloup.jpg

    Although i expect and also hope the 2001/2 livery will be there. So it matches the 2001 Impreza and the 2001/2002 livery also has the Total sponsorship on it, which still is on factory Peugeot cars nowadays. But on the other side, the 306 Maxi also has the Esso logo's on it, so that shouldn't matter as well.

    Also most logo's/brands which are on the 1999/2000/2001/2002 livery are already feutured on other Peugeot in the game. So it should be possible to see some official livery on the 206 🙂 

    Event the Red tobacco livery could even be possible, as the Evo VI Lancer also kinda has it, and there is the blue/white Porsche as well.

    ya Larsson is head and shoulders better than everyone in ERX, eh? hopefully we'll see him back in WRX next year

    Although we have a RX topic about it. But Larsson is probably the best RX driver in the ERX at the moment, but also has the best car. Tideman and Bryntesson are also rapid, but their material is I think less good. It is a shame Bryntesson had an engine problem at Holjes, otherwise he would be second in the standings.
