Great Effort Codemasters + Ideas

[Francisnf 0]

Really enjoying this release, I've been playing it all weekend!

Having spent many hours in Dirt Rally, this is a welcome addition for my collection of racers / driving games.

The handling is excellent, both on wheel and pad. Feels like a bit of an improvement from Dirt Rally, excellent weight and feel to the cars, the FFB is very Assetto Corsa in my opinion but with good levels of low speed grip, which i believe AC lacks in. 

Graphics are really good, running at 1440p, ultra settings, doesn't really drop from a locked 60fps on my system.

Sound is also very good, lots of pops, growls and crunching gears, plus the music in the menus is really decent too.

Im guessing DLC will be coming at some point regarding further locations, as i believe the current amount could be expanded on.

The team management is good fun, its nice to be able to get some ownership on things, it feels great to run the team and make it personal to yourself.

Improvements...

• Could do with some higher res textures, some look very low res, especially on the inside the windscreen view.
• Would be nice to get some shadows casting off objects when driving at night, they dont seem to do this sadly at the moment i dont think. It might be taxing on FPS, but people with high end cards would be fine.
• A time trial mode?!? i cant seem to find one. I would like to choose a really track and just compete against myself, im surprised this isn't it in, maybe i am missing something.

Thanks for making a great game! defo 9 out of 10 for me.
