Almost 2 years to the date since I first played DiRT Rally, or DiRT Delta as I believe it was known back then. Really hope it does well on console. There's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't.

Yep, I'm so happy to have played a small part of this!

Ditto! Congrats for getting to this point @KickUp, @Hatward, @soundfx and all the rest of the team. I hope the game gets the praise that I (and I daresay most of the forum) believe it deserves!

Unfortunately we PC users can't view yesterdays daily results on CREST for some reason.

Are you sure?  Mine defaults til todays (unsupported RX), but the date selection is on the Top Left.

Of course, with V1.1 comes a whole host of tweaks and fixes – so here are the patch notes:

·        Game Fix – Fixed an issue where a player takes 2 joker laps in a row and then their 2nd Joker lap icon disappears due to the AI driver entering the Joker lap.

·        Vehicles - The threshold for punctures has been increased, making the tyres more resistant to punctures on landings.

·        Controls – Players can no longer accidently unbind ‘Gear Up’ and ‘Gear Down’ controls when re-assigning buttons if they have their preferential transmission set as Automatic.

My DL speed on steam reached 9 MB/s. 40 minutes left :smiley:

Yep, Crest is what they showed us yesterday. IT'S SO COOL. And I think you can compare 3 times in total :D

Fun fact: it works on mobile so if you've got for example an iPad, you can play the game on your console and then check your telemetry on the pad.

[KingOfCoins 286]

I wonder if they fixed the Norwegian alpabet's lack of Ø on the driver profile.

I doubt the future DLC would include that PP RS200 with the monster livery.

Just did the daily, He'll in the ds3. Should have practiced first as I've never driven the car before, but currently 3rd fastest!

A rallycross daily? Excellent, will be giving that a go later! 

(The DS3 is the only rallycross car I've brought, so hopefully I can post a half decent time!)

[Azoresst 6]

Did a quick run with the 207 S1600 RX. IMO it's a really fun car to drive.
