  1. I really doubt it's dlc. I just can't see it being a good business decision now the game has been out so long, and unfortunately a lot of people will have left it, and only the hardcore players are still playing, therefore not a lot of money in dlc purchases. For example, my Xbox one league has 1600 people in it, but only about 50 people take part each week. A new game is almost definitite 

  2. A BMW is currently leading by 1.5 seconds. I'm going to attempt to snatch victory in the Peugeot! (This is a highly unlikely outcome)

    edit: was 15 seconds down, brought it back to 2 seconds on stage 3, then crashed on 4 and lost it again. A big push on stage 6 lead to a big smile on my face followed by a big Peugeot shaped dent in a tree. Oh well, wasn't too bad for my first play in 3 weeks!

  3. Running an experiment in my xbox leage this weekend, 80s rwd vs Kit cars in Wales, 6 stages. What do people reckon will be fastest?
    The kitcars for sure, provided the drivers know what they're doing. The kitcars can match 2000's cars on some stages.
    I have the biggest Xbox league with about 1600 people, so there are some pretty good drivers there. I'm not sure what to have a go in yet, I'll try and do it this weekend

    Ive previously ran 4wd open championships and rwd open championships which were quite interesting. there were a few group b's in the 4wd top 10, but I don't think there were any in the rwd challenge

    Is there some licensing that you need over there to qualify for rally? 
    Just a few...

    "How do I start?

    To get involved in Stage Rallying, you’ll need a full DVLA driving licence. Then you need to buy an MSA Go Rallying starter pack, pass a BARS test and then apply for a Rally National B Stage Competition Licence. If you just want to co-drive, you can apply for a Navigator’s licence without having to pass the BARS course.

    For Road Rallying all you need to do is join a motor club that runs such events. If you want to be a driver you will need to have a full driving licence and be at least 17 years of age but you can compete as a navigator from as young as 12."




    Yep, then an international licence is earned differently, can't remember exactly how, but I'm sure someone here will know. It has something to do with competing/finishing a set number of national events.


    But there's nothing currently stopping you going out and buying an R5 and rallying as far as I know, although I always think that you should learn to drive a slower car fast before you jump straight into a fast car. That way you understand pushing the limits of speed and commitment better, whereas people who go straight to a fast car tend to be pretty slow as they although they are going quick because the car is very quick, they aren't driving it fast.

    I've said before but I personally loved gymkhana, mainly the playground rather than the actual events though. Also, the online mini games were incredibly good fun, my friends and I spent many nights playing cat and mouse, transporter and infected. Whilst there not for everyone, they can help increase the games longevity, and keep the online going
    I only started playing the online gymkhana modes purely to get a trophy. I think I ended up spending as much time playing those modes as I did racing: at least with those modes you were supposed to crash into each other! :smiley:

    We had a group of about 6 or so, so we had some absolutely brilliant games. Used to love solo transporter, used to be crazy.  and mouse used to get pretty tactical and aggressive, especially if we played 4 teams of 2

    Autosport was fun, it had some career mode to it, that I liked.  I was just drooling for a DiRT Game at the time, I should go back and play it now.

    However that wasnt really my point, not even about the EVO team, but GRID and Dirt share some of the same people, if there are resources taken from DiRT then that would delay the next one.

    EVO will have there own thing going and I'm looking forward to it.  

    hope now you know what I ment.  :)


    Yeah, I know what you meant! :smile: I played a lot of Autosport to fill the pre-DiRT Rally void! I recently got my PS3 hooked back up again, so I should really revisit a few games: all my (limited) gaming time is dedicated to DR at the moment though!

    With the success of DR over AS, one would imagine the DiRT series would take priority at CM? Having said that, if a new GRiD game was in the works, I assume it would have been commissioned well before the completion of DR. 

    I would like to see the GRiD series return in some form... but after we've got more DiRT!
    Didn't DR come out a year or two after AS? 

    DiRT 2 is still my favorite of the series. :)

    Yeah, it did. But we know that new games are in development for many months, sometimes ever years, before release, so if a next generation GRiD game is imminent, then the decision to green light it would, theoretically, have come before the full release of DiRT Rally. 
    We should have done some more digging and investigating when we were there!

  9. Yeah, I loved that about the first grid, and would love to see it return to either a future grid or dirt game. 

    GAS did feature cockpit, however it was blurred out, which made me believe that the whole 5% thing was bs and it was actually just a technical problem codies had, which I would have respected a lot more if they had just said that at the time. But I could be wrong

  10. I would really like to see a grid game with GRID 1's attention to detail and Autosport's handling model. Plus as I've already mentioned, a proper demolition derby mode following a similar style to the one in the first game. I'd also love to see a Dirt 3 style game with Dirt Rally's handling model and attention to detail. Basically just dirt 4 but a sim like dirt rally.

  11. I'm probably going to let everyone down by saying I was a big derby racer in GRID 1, probably one of the best racers on Xbox 360 (not bragging, I was just awesome), so the lack of Derby content really disappointed me in the following games, but I did really like Grid Autosport, it just suffered from a very short development cycle

  12. I haven't been around for a while, think I've probably been spending more time playing the game rather than gossiping for a change now that I'm not at uni!

    Oculus support looks really cool, I doubt I'll ever get to try it, but it looks very well done!

    Just got back from a wet and slippery Nicky Grist Stages, and will hopefully put up some videos later. Passed Elfyn Evans on the road section, and had a little look around their service area on the Friday, some impressive stuff for a relatively small rally!
