  Even over heavy hitters like Forza 6 with bottomless budgets.

Happy New year y'all!

Don't forget we had no official DiRT Rally news at the start of 2015 so our only outlet was gossip.  ;)

Very promising gossip!

Not bad for a PC exclusive

Fantastic onboard driving especially from the bonnet view.

Yeah, well a lot of people don't like Forza because it's not a simulator since it doesn't do flags or whatever. DR came out of nowhere and is really good, however I do wish they had more content like the original Dirt or Dirt 2. Those games with DRs physics would be amazing.

Sideways across the world! This is why everybody should be excited about the Group RGT.

That's indeed some fantastic onboard driving.

@KickUp: Is it possible to have this view after you've smashed the windscreen really badly in D:R?
Imagine the great footage of a helmet cam in that position! :lol: 

Never underestimate the creativity of Belgians. :lol: If there is a way, we will find it.

I'm pretty sure you can already do that but you need a VR headset.

Yep

The mention of some really exciting stuff coming through @KickUp 's inbox (during the DiRT Show) made me really tingly and I have no idea what it could be! :D 

It could be so many things... But I'd guess it would be some sort of an external partnership, not an internal go ahead to build a new feature into the game.

In the best news of 2016 so far I'm pleased to announce that I've managed to fix my Logitech Profiler issues and am back on DiRT Rally. Aaaaand I really suck at it....

One thing I don't think I've seen speculated upon here much is that Amazon pre-order of the Legend Edition, or whatever it's called.

The DVD of Colin McRae I understand, makes perfect sense, but what would the Mini pack be? In particular, what would be different between a 1071 Mini and the one we currently have in the 60s class? 

[YoMrWhite 11]

Good question. The 1071s was introduced in 1963, so it was the basis for the first Minis in rallying, before they switched to the 1275. An even slower Mini in the game (assuming the one in is the 1275)? Doesn't make too much sense indeed.

[RallyDriven 398]

Unfortunately we don't have much to go by with the legend edition. It's also listed on GAME, but there is no info at all on there.

So we can carefully assume that the legend edition is a real thing, but I wouldn't be too convinced by the details listed on Amazon

[KevM 44]

Maybe the 'Legend' edition comes with all the official Colin McRae liveries along with the tribute vid?

[F2CMaDMaXX 505]

Seems like tomorrow could be a perfect oportunity for Paul to drip us something else :)

[RyuMakkuro 6]

Or it's the same Mini we have in-game, just when you pre-order the game from Amazon, you'll have it already unlocked/bought in career mode.

[YoMrWhite 11]

Which would be a quite lame Legends special...

[RyuMakkuro 6]

Pre-order bonus by default is lame if it's just a digital content :p 

[RallyDriven 398]

What if I want the Fulvia?


Mini is 14 characters too short

[KevM 44]

Buy it, its only like 40 quid in credits :P

45k to be precise, it's more expensive than the Mini.

RallyDriven said:

Find a pre-order that gives the Fulvia :p 

[KevM 44]

Who cares, pocket-money.                    

[Job3k 7]

I heard that Legend edition will contain Fixed  stuff for current game breaking issues like Finland stages in summer, Fixed spoiler in Impreza R4,  interior in Impreza '01 and as pre order bonus You will get production version of i20 instead of crappy concept that we already got in game.
