I prefer the MkI. Too bad it isn't in DR 2.0.

Love the Escort, i think the sound is definitely the closet any game has come to replicating the glorious sound of a BDA.

The Escort and the Sierra have to be the most brutal rally cars I've ever experienced in the entire DiRT franchise. Period.

Absolute overrated cars....both beside of the unrealistic handling from dirt rally, they dont feel good in any other game

So I suppose you've raced a Mk2 Escort in a rally in the real world and can testify to what one really handles like?

Yep, it sounds amazing doesn’t it? They recorded a new sound direct from a real one for this game and it really shows.

With all this hype on Dirt 2.0, I keep thinking how Wreckfest physics compare to A-list rally game? Pretty well i recon. Developer Bugbear has a rally classic called Rally Trophy undet its belt. Hope someone like Jimmy would review Wreckfest.

My bad - made an assumption that i would have come across his video already if it exists.

As i suspected great fun and surpricingly respectable feel and physics. I think this is the best game by far for folk racing. too bad it doest get more love - theres great potential there.

Indeed. It is an authentic recording behind it!

I do love the Escort sound in GT Legends too
