Huge update

Aww you got my hopes up there!!

 

[SharkyOB]

• Added “Manual Auto Select” to the Transmission Assist settings, allowing players with H-Pattern and Sequential shifters to automatically swap depending on the car used.

Yes! Made up this has been included 😍

Update sounds excellent, really happy this incredible game is getting the support it deserves.

That's an impressive update, they've been very busy.👏

Is it controversial to say I prefer the current livery, this looks like something they would run on a pre-event test.

 

[m355y]

Yeah I think I prefer the old one too. Instantly recognizable as Toyota whether in the WRC, WEC, Dakar or even F1. This is smart enough, but I’m not loving it.

And that was exactly my impression while everyone on the internet (WRC, Dirtfish etc.) loving it a lot, this literally looks like some concept/pre-test livery similar to the one that Yaris Rally 2 was originally presented in:

Going off topic the Yaris Rally2 in it's current plain grey testing livery is absolutely gorgeous 😍

Toyota simultaneously revealed their WEC livery and it's similar. It's probably the new look for everything.

I love it. But I also reckon it’ll be one of those liveries that looks better in action.

@MagpieRacer @UKMikey Holy cow you guys, I only have 23 hours in EA WRC!

Made me check mine. 52 is higher than I thought.

It's a surprise to me too. I just logged on for what I thought was a few minutes each day. In EA WRC's case it's enough to do the daily moments and club races and advance a little in career.

Neither of these three games feel like chores to play.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Number 1 most played for me was EA SPORTS PGA TOUR and number 3 was WRC Generations.

Incidentally my dad did his recap on PlayStation and he has put in 468 hours on WRCG this year 🤯

Route Name Route Length (km) Surface
Rouské (32.36 km) Tarmac = 100%
Lukoveček (32.34 km) Tarmac = 100%
Raztoka (15.40 km) Tarmac = 100%
Žabárna (15.42 km) Tarmac = 100%
Provodovice (16.99 km) Tarmac = 100%
Chvalčov (16.94 km) Tarmac = 100%
Vítová (8.77 km) Tarmac = 100%
Brusné (8.77km) Tarmac = 100%

Rusava (14.64 km) Tarmac = 100%
Osíčko (8.94 km) Tarmac = 100%
Botarell (8.65 km) Tarmac = 100%

Considering the CER rally is listed on the website as being a mix of Czechia, Austria and Germany, all of those stages are in Czechia other than Botarell (Spain) and Raztoka (Slovakia)

But I'd been on true achievements for longer

 

[Pfei]

Considering the CER rally is listed on the website as being a mix of Czechia, Austria and Germany, all of those stages are in Czechia other than Botarell (Spain) and Raztoka (Slovakia)

Everything points for now to it being a single long stage in the Czech Republic. It would have been nice to get 15km in Germany and 15km in Czech instead. Or 10/10/10 with Austria.

🤤

Love it. The white and red was cool but getting a bit stale, particularly in WEC

CER Gameplay today

 

[MagpieRacer]

Points to a stage being based on one from the Barum Czech rally. Given that the route for the real CER wasn’t announced until July (then altered in August), they were going in blind really. I think everyone dreamed of a 3 stage rally with one in each country or something but would have been tough to get it right with zero knowledge of the route.

As long as it captures some of the essence of the rally I’m happy.

Edit: My 16'000th post on GTPlanet 🥳

Looks excellent, very high speed.

I'm sorry, but for me it's a 0/10, no championship decider barnyard

Man I felt so bad for Evans. I know it was an outsider shot for the title realistically but it would have made Japan very interesting given how that round played out.

 

[doblocruiser]

Hmmm I am really disappointed it is only in the Czech Republic 😑
