Some career news and gameplay from Team VVV on youtube

I know this has been discussed before but yesterday I played more Career mode and I found something completely off. I hope you can see the attached photo. It is the end result of the New Zealand rally in "Clubman" tier. Yes, I'm the Hungarian dude in second place. But there is something absolutely incredible going on there if you look at the final times. How come there is one AI that completes the rally (6 stages) 1 minute 20 seconds faster than any other AI cars? How can it be so much faster when it's only "Clubman" difficulty? I would agree I must be a noob if every AI was faster than me but you can see I completed the rally quite well, I beat all of them (I won 3 stages out of 6) but yet that one AI is ridiculously faster than all the others. Like that S. Bernard was from another tier completely. This is what makes Career mode so hard to enjoy. You go extremely well, in the green, you win stages but then the game decides that one AI is 1:20 faster than the rest, and 0:36 faster than you. How does the game simulate these times? And why does this happen at even the second difficulty level? On a different note, I was playing in Free Play as well and it is ridiculous. I put the AI difficulty down to minimum (1/100)! When I drove the R5 VW Golf, I could win any stage with huge amounts of time, I mean even more than a minute. Obviously not a challenge. However, at the same difficulty I switched to the H2 FWD class (VW Golf) and I lost every stage, the AI was way too fast, even on the minimum difficulty setting. Something must be glitched in this game because there's no way there's so much difference in my driving between different classes. This makes the game completely unpredictable, random and very hard to enjoy.

I wanted to start a discussion around Drit Rally 2.0 Career Mode Events. I noticed that this time around we do not have an opportunity to make our own custom career mode championships as we did in Dirt Rally. I think that this feature is something that needs to make it's way back. Just like in Dirt Rally, instead of sliders, we should opt to use general participant types to define custom career championships (ex. open, clubman, semipro, pro). The beauty of this mode is in the dictation of how much time we would like to take to complete a series of events to win rewards instead of being forced into doing a series of 6 events with 6 stages each. This would allow guys who have kids and families more flexibility in playtime without having to sacrifice an arm and a leg to complete this races to get to a reward in the end. I loved the Dirt Rally system because I could set my own comfort level for entry into a championships. I also liked that given the customization, the game still would pick which location you would race next. This kept you on the edge of never knowing which championship you will be entering next. If you guys have anything you would like to add or propose to make the game better, please feel free to add more comments and ideas to expand the general topic.
