Are the changes on the C3 R5 only visually or has the driving behavior changed?

[F2CMaDMaXX 505]

Visual, and as per the notes, visual updates.

 

Also, confirmed by @xtinamcgrath that the Season 2 content reveal should be happening this Friday.

It's a visual update only.

There is a confusion there, because if it is only visual means that the footprint generated by our car is narrower (responding to the previous wheel width) ?? that is, the footprint will go for one side and the wheels for other?

No confusion, this is all easy to understand.

 

Track width of the car, the specifications, were all correct in the game, the visual indicators (the wheel models, which are not connected in games - games are smoke and mirrors) were not correct, that *visual* issue has been fixed.

From Dirt Rally 2.0 to the reality  one more thx for the Fabia R5 evo in game 😍

 

[Martín Cleppe 161]

besides from the suspension rumble, wich adds more immersion, even if it's fake  , i find   all the effects are more marked now,  got a lot more info about the car.

Has the r5 Skoda in the game been updated with the new visual upgrades that Skoda have been in the real rally car?

The car that is in the game is the updated version if I'm not mistaken. So basically the Fabia we've been driving over the last couple of months is the new evolution from the picture.

Yes, it is the same, face-lifted Skoda Fabia. Just look carefully 😉

Roof vents are different in those 2 photos though, and also that round thing under left headlight isn't on both cars

At least it looks like more of a game than what I've seen of Absolute Drifts primarily empty play spaces.

 

Following unrelated news, Guacamelee is free on the Humble store right now.

As an addendum, Steep is also free on uPlay, which I think is a great game to unwind with.

Because the white one is test car and the other one is the homologated version ready to start the rally 😉 So some parts may differ a bit between them.

[JZStudios 631]

Open question, can anyone drive the 240z in game? It's like halfway through every corner it gets all inspired and thinks "I wanna be an Escort!" and Ken Blocks it into the nearest available rock.

I can't decide if the front is made of balloons, and the back a tank, or vice versa. Maybe it's just got GTA4 style greasy tires?

The round thing is for suspension measure iirc, and only mounted for testing.

By far the easiest to drive in that class! Bit slow though.

Phase one has been reactivated:

It's got to be the remaining (and best) tracks from DR1 surely. I need to play Wales with the new physics. And Greece. And Finland.
