DiRTy Gossip about DIRT Rally Games

[SRD_SimVansevenant 863]

Didn't Codies (Paul I think) say that there is a Mitsubishi in the game but not the one we would expect?
The Mitsubishi R5 might be the one then.

A Mirage R5?Quite unique selection I guess...

[RallyDriven 398]

Hopefully the in game ones will be more reliable than the one I passed on the side of a stage yesterday

Either that, or this...

i didnt see either of them yesterday!

Hopefully he means the Mitsubishi Starion as it was a great looking rally car.

He said we will have an Evo, just not the one everyone expects 

[KingOfCoins 286]

I'm speculating that it's the 2007 skoda fabia wrc evo 2. It would fit with the 2007 focus

From Gomnes on Steam:

So, a small bird whispered in my ear, well actually a friend who works on the Mitsubishi R5 cars that said a bunch of Codemasters came to his workplace and started to analyse everything on one of their R5 cars. 

Well, if true, then new class is R5, confirmed.

Yes, but is it a Lancer Evo from Mitsubishi, or another car with "Evo" in its name?

If they're only starting looking at them now, it's not coming this month - possibly the 'super secret' ones from the road book, something for the future.

I've got some onboard footage of us going past them if you want to use that?

Clip from SS1 of it here: https://youtu.be/ZWp-4IAt6-o

Always feel it needs a bit more in the way of aero when I see it.

[RallyDriven 398]

It needs a big, ridiculous spoiler. Then it would look cool

It has a spoiler to go on it, just it's not been homologated/log booked with the MSA yet.

[RodgerDavies 933]

Ahhh, thanks @Rallycameraman - always wondered why sometimes it has it and sometimes it doesn't.

[macebig 4]

Did someone say spoiler?Here it is with a spoiler.

That's the problem, in the mid-00's, every manufacturer had an Evo!! lol. 

[dgeesi0 305]

starion would be a great addition.body is too short atleast not my penis :p

Speaking of R5s, instead of getting the probably more expensive (to license) Fiesta WRC facelift, couldn't they license the R5 and R5+ Fiestas? That would be great.

Dont think that m-sport will make so much troubles or ask a lot of money to the codies, m-sport also appears at the start of the game so... For me the new fiesta is 90% confirmed in modern masters, as well as r5 and a lower spec fiesta (r2 or r1)

Msport was tagged in a tweet from paul about the last roadbook.

Kind of, but the Porsche/EA example is a unique scenario. There's no other car licensing agreement even remotely like it.

Which is exactly why it's one of the best examples. It shows that when it comes to licensing, only your imagination and depth of the wallet matters.

Actually imagination and depth of wallet don't always work out. 

I can't give details but even EA can't throw money at some manufacturers to make their imagination come to fruition.

Well, of course they don't always work out if someone goes way over the board. Both parties need to agree on the terms, but what the terms are is down to imagination still ;) And the wallet of course.

I can only imagine that even Porsche was reluctant on that deal with EA. Still wonder why some manufacturers are so against licensing *cough*Honda*cough*.
