The Hyundai is one that's really annoying, can't see the gear indicator at all. If there are no work around, it would be nice to have a gear indicator icon in the HUD -
I almost got my prediction right with Neuville winning! Shame another small mistake cost him and Hyundai big, but his first win this year is definitely coming, wouldn't be surprised at all if it was Mexico.
Who would have thought last year that we would have m-sport leading the points and a Toyota leading the driver's title?! -
I'm sure it probably will somewhere down the line, even if it's after release like dirt rally. Enough people seem to be asking for it, and they released it for dirt rally which had a much smaller budget! You just might not here anything about it for a little while! -
He posted on twitter, he seemed gutted obviously, but he still sounded positive of his performance from the last two events. Whilst it's not a great start to the season to go out on the first two events, it's not complete disaster, especially if he goes out and takes some power stage points tomorrow. He and the car are clearly very capable of winning rallies. and monte was the smallest of mistakes, one which could have happened anywhere else and not caused him any problems. Tomorrow will be interesting, I unfortunately won't be able to follow it love though :(
And @gfRally in answer to your earlier question, for following live, twitter and wrc radio are probably the best aside from any live broadcasts. Just follow as many people as you can who are tweeting about the WRC. It's the best way info spreads around -
The crash definitely looked odd, he was coming round the corner fine then sunddenly veered off to the right -
Mads hit Colin's Crest at 110mph! He was quite funny in his interview at the stage end, seemed quite pleased with himself -
I haven't seen everyone go over the bump that took mads' wing, but the Toyota seemed most unhappy. Latvala was pretty much facing the sky! It was a nasty bump though, caught a lot of people out. And being someone who competes in a smaller car, I imagine that was horrendous for those lower down the field and those following in the historic rally! -
Paddon probably isn't having an easy rally considering his last. I'm sure it's been difficult for him to get into the right frame of mind for this event -
Yeah, basically new versions. The fiesta is on evo 2 at the moment I think, so that's the third edition of fiesta r5warpengage said:
Not subclasses, it's just upgrades that are done to the cars. It's not really important.F2CMaDMaXX said:
There are sub classes/specs in the R5 class?warpengage said:@KickUp I wonder, is the Fiesta R5 in the game the Evo spec? -
You say that, but Paddon hit a tyre stack last night on the opening stage and barely did any damage. Plus these cars have done a lot of testing, they shouldn't just be falling apart on every corner. I'm sure m-sport will be immediately looking into the cause of mads' incident.
My brother and I both said at the start of monte that Neuville and the i20 were looking very strong and competettive. And I know it's still early days, but I knew I should have bet on him for this weekend! Aha, probably jinxed it now anyway! -
Yeah, that does sound a little worrying, especially if as he said he was flat out in a sixth gear corner, that's not a time when you want to lose all the downforce on the rear! -
Tomorrow will definitely be interesting, first true test of speed with everyone on equal terms (monte is a lot down to tyre choice and wear). I'm going to predict a Neuville win, but to be honest there are a lot of people who I feel could do it, pretty much everyone is looking like they have some sort of chance -
I'm only just out the poor student phase, will hopefully be in the poor rally car owner phase soon! For now I'll have to stay in the passenger seatJepsertti said:So jealous of you all who are able to drive rally in real life. Being a poor student, this image describes my current situation in terms of rally driving:

Maybe the first DLC should be Rally cars from the Codemasters community?Benniz said:@KickUp - Surely it can't be too hard to license our lovely Knut? A 1999 Nissan Almera GTi? :wink: -
Fair enough, don't know what the rule is for private roads though, most if not all the rally gb roads are private forest roads which don't have official speed limits -
Wrc has a universal speed limit on all recces, can't remember what it is thoughversedi said:
The cars in recce are limited to normal road limits, so if road has limit 50km/h you've have to keep to that limit. At least that's how it's in our local rallies, not certainly sure about WRC but it shouldn't be different IIRC.Benniz said:This might have been asked before @KickUp - but when using Your Stage, is there an option to recce the stage before you do your high speed run? I would like this feature, where the game limits you to max 80 km/h (WRC speed limit on recce if I'm not wrong?) with a typical recce car. -
The amount of cars in world rx is mad!TheFlyingTuga said:And we have our first DLC car xD

Sadly Fuzzynuts is a thing of the past.BadD0g said:If someone is given two choices, one of which is called "simulation," I think they'll probably infer from context what the other one means, whether it's called "gamer" or "casual" or "assisted" or whatever. If they are REALLY not sure, they can read the descriptions.
Back on topic:
@KickUp As you may recall, one of the voice nicknames in Dirt 2 was "Fuzzynuts." The Fuzzynuts option was disappointingly absent from future Dirt games. Will this crucially important feature be making a return in Dirt 4? -
Personally I think it should be casual and simulation. I think it's a bit clearer than gamer. -
Yeah, could have easily picked up second or maybe even 1st on that rally if you had just held back a bit like Latvala didKevM said:Id love him to dial it down to 95%.
He doesnt need to be 110%, especially in tricky rally's like Monte, where just maintaining a steady pace would have had him on an easy podium by the time everyone else had dropped off.... :( -
Just mads at the moment, think prokop isn't driving until one of the next European rounds
With Meeke, monte is a tough rally, everyone gets caught out at some point. I mean, Meeke didn't really do much more than Ogier in terms of mistakes, but his was much more punishing. Crashes can happen at any time, and for a number of reasons. It could have been caused by something mechanical or a flat tyre. They said it was only a slow roll anyway, I'm sure it won't have affected him too much, even if a little embarrassing! -
It's hard to tell what handling modes are being used in these off screen videos. But if you can see the cars coming to pretty instant stops and turning too quickly assume it's the arcade. As I mentioned before, the braking distances have been increased from dirt rally, which felt a lot more realistic -
Annoying, but these things happen occasionally in testing! Hopefully there won't be any more of that this weekend -
There's also the other historic fwd rally class with a couple of cars like the Peugeot 205bogani said:I really like that there is a modern entry class with R2's this time.
