Mintex are the manufacturer brakes the 309 is using if not mistaken but it isn't an official livery (or am I wrong?) Still looks quite nice 🤗

Yeah it’s not one I’ve seen IRL. But it is quite nice and has a bit of a factory livery element with the Peugeot Sport on the rear quarter.
 
Clubs will be similar to DiRT Rally 2.0 but now hosted on the new Racenet. Last I checked you’ll be able to create the championships in-game once you have made a club on the website.

I should have access to it in a few weeks and be able to make the official clubs, plus a guide for creating your own.
Make sure you setup the "official" :gtpflag: club as the first ;)

Do you know if we'll we be able to create custom championships for single player use like in DR2.0 or do we have to join a club and do them as online races?

I suspect his own Casual Racing Mondays club comes first ;)

Just ordered the Sim-Lab XB1 Loadcell Handbrake. I'm ready! :D

Custom championships are in quick play from what’s been said. Up to 16 rallies with 24 stages per rally.
 
I just saw a video from a guy that has 87 subscribers. I wonder what the criteria is for getting one of these "influencer" keys.
 
Looking good, nice stages, Africa looks good now.., and you can see where you're going...

Glad if it kept its thrilling feel overall, and challenge.

Hope 60fps on consoles, no stutter please, with the UE weaknesses..
Hope also replays are smooth like dr2.
Seems pretty similar to dr2 overall, on dirt especially.
Be nice to see night stage with headlights, dark weather, etc.

Now can you kick PD to give up pikes peak, and do a later dlc on it.😁

Edit: also, if there isn't already, it be really cool to have historic stages, rallies in a dlc, like san remo, etc.
And maybe some of the legends small rally stages, like le tane in san marino etc.,looks like cool bumpy tarmac.
Also hope the m3 is in there, love that car.

Edit2: going back in dr2 after some wrc10, I'm noticing that most cars, modern or historic, rear or front engine, and 4wd or rwd, etc, and in any road, even leveled, if you turn the steering moderately enough, even with no braking, throttle, and not having just lift off throttle,
they tend to oversteer, with no understeer much.

I dont know, seems a little too much easy to oversteer just on turning enough the steering, with nothing else affecting it.
And i don't mean swerving left and right to make them do a Scandinavian flick.

And then you can get some snappy oversteer if also brake.
And it can be a little vague/floaty, on any surface i guess.
That's maybe the mean faults i come up with for now, that i hope are improved in wrc.

And in wrc10 for example, it's the opposite somewhat, there's barely any momentum/inertia to make the car loose grip in the back while turning the steering a lot, even on loose surface, unless overdo it at good speed.
And you have to really make it do a flick left right to make it swerve.
Seems maybe a little too stable. And not enough mass.
But it has better understeer maybe when turning enough the steering.

Weirdly, in wrc10, the modern current wrc2, wrc cars have better inertia like that, but the older cars much less it seems.
And historic cars seem to have a too stable suspension maybe too.

Maybe a middle ground would be good?
Maybe wrc gen is like that?
And wrc will be as well..

Edit2: did just test again that oversteer on only moderate steering input and nothing else, even at low speed, it's obviously a fault in dr2, seems to me at least.

Even at low speed, tried with the alpine in greece, it's really obvious in this case.

For me, everything is fine. There is understeer, oversteer... entering "past"... or "in" quite well and realistically. Without driving aids.

All masters of programming... the games with more details... always ahead of their time. Some programming geniuses.

Year 2003... How do your titles age? Slowly ;)

The pass vip rally for 5 seasons what does it include? If i do not preordwr the game it means that then i need to pay for having them? Just because i will be on holiday from october 27 until November 5. So just to know if it is better to buy it anyway in advance or not.

The VIP passes will include additional cosmetic items. We don’t know exactly what but it’ll be cosmetic stuff, could be liveries, logos, race suits etc. It hasn’t been confirmed but based on previous EA titles with a premium pass (F1 and PGA Tour), you will probably have to pay for them after launch. The Pro Pass on PGA Tour is about £5/6 per season.

@UKMikey the Overtake GG video showed perfectly what you want to see. Custom championships and the options.

Looks like we’ll be able to also randomly generate a championship, and also save templates which is great to see. Also looks like we’ll be able to setup full regularity rally championships as well.
 

Been checking his impressions since a while now, of rally games mostly, i like it in general.

He says tarmac is a great improvement from dr2..
But he feels it's a little too grippy, and suspension a little too stable.
We'll see, it does look like it.

Maybe it's partly due to default set-up, loose diff etc.

Edit: its a rally2 car by the way, that he's trying on that.
He's using mostly close cockpit pov, looks a little stiff for me, i prefer the full cockpit pov, seems to show more bumpiness etc, like being a helmet cam vs a dash cam maybe.

He says he noticed there might be tire overheating.

Really hope there is still historic challenges, career..

The best aerodynamics... the best suspensions... the best tires... I say that all of that should be noticed, right? ;) :



In real life, you also push the accelerator pedal to the metal. You don't use the throttle "a little at a time" as in other "simulators" out there.

Great to see he got his hands on it eventually. Thought the previews were lacking sax.

In all seriousness, his comments on the tarmac handling are very encouraging and actually goes into some nice detail about the feel, both positive and negative.

Absolutely ! I like his coverage in general and yes thé tarmac handling seems to be a great improvement but not 'SLR Evo' level yet. As Sim noted, if they reduce grip a little bit then handbrake and powersliding out of thé corner should be possible. I hope they can improve a little bit more.

The stages, the stages, they absolutely have blown me away. Gorgeous, lively, thrilling and hugely varied. Top notch stuff 🤟

Hopefully there’s time before launch for them to get those tweaks in. I agree about the stages, that Monte stage he runs looks absolutely fantastic.
