Finally completed my first career season and (like a few others here) also failed the the FWD extreme benefactor request. Although in my case it was a case of not reading the fine print as I had plumped for a Kit car for that championship and not the H2 class that Maxy specifically requested. So I ended up a arrow/segment short of the "delighted" space which I assume stopped my advance to WRC2, as both requests for season 2 were for the Junior WRC again (albeit more demanding).
I also have the joy of the H1 Regularity championship as one of the main requests; it wasn't as bad I feared, although I'm only playing on medium length and so there's only 3 stages to do for each round. It's not much slower then a regular rally event either, at least in those machines (stage 2 was 8 miles and I still completed it in under 15 minutes).

Did a rally in Sweden and it was perfect again. Weird.
One other thing I noticed how the game on PS5 looks a lot better when using an outside cameraview rather than one on the inside..
It does add to my enjoyment as the graphics are now tolerable but still a bummer as I want to use the in car camera.
So many little things about this game that are annoying but I will admit I'm enjoying it now more than before. The AI finally being a challenge (most of the time) is very important to me and as I play more I get a bit more feeling for the tuning of the cars so you get them to behave how you want.

Just about the only difference is how the driver doesn't fly off track every time the boost activates.
I think there were complaints about the supposedly outdated font CM used for the car speed earlier in the thread so it's instructive to see how close to the real life presentation they got.

What font were they complaining about? I was just talking about the stage. SS3 is in the game and looks impressively close to the real life version.Just about the only difference is how the driver doesn't fly off track every time the boost activates.

Same. Seems to be the sweet spot for me, particularly since I play on DualSense

Did a one rally custom championship at Monte Carlo again and I'm still finding I'm way faster on ice. In the split times you can see exactly where the ice begins as I'm suddenly about 10s faster per split. 80 difficulty seems perfect in all other circumstances. Nobody else experiencing this?

You mean crashing into the wall at high speed?Maybe you're just like Senna, but when it's really cold.
Too soon..?

Great idea starting a fresh wrc2 career after the update with a rear wheel builder car, no restarts and hardcore damage just as a little added frustration. Do love a challenge me.

Hi @PJTierney
I have a little question for you.
The game physics on wet tarmac are completely unrealistic, you can brake basically on same spot as on dry surface and car has way more grip/no acuaplaning.
Is this a know issue? Are the dev team working on it / aware of it?
Thanks in advance, see you around

Will have a look at the support forums for sure, meanwhile I did look on YouTube, and I have seen one that also talks about wet tarmac issues..
I just thought found to much grip and brake points as on dry…
This guy goes even flat out with dry weather slick medium tyres on wet..
On nearly the end of the video you can see it , quite something to make devs aware and investigate it;

Nearing the end of the season and I'm still only on level 15 on the rally pass.
I only have maybe 5 hours a week to put into the game.
Anyone have any tips for levelling up?
Even if I crash now I still try finish every event for the sake of time/xp. It's all I think about in the game now.. I'm up to date with all the moments and they're not giving enough xp. I'm starting to lose hope of getting those liveries for level 19 and 20. Seems the balance is fairly off for the rally pass, like you need to play the game an extremely heavy amount to get through it in time. Or maybe there's something I'm missing?

At the end of last season I just did championship mode with short (2 round) events, it seemed to get the XP relatively quickly though I don't know if that's the best way

Got 11 more days to try figure it out! Surprised there isn't some guide somewhere to farm xp the most efficient way yet.
Have to admit, I don't like the rally pass at all. Seems like a necessary evil to have some degree of MTX but I wish it could be dropped, or at very least eased up on so its more attainable without spending literally dozens of hours driving.
A gran turismo style livery editor instead with user made SVG decals would be amazing for me. Livery sharing too. It would give the game so much more longevity. Instead all I can do is fret about xp to try get a livery in time!

It's not really MTX in the traditional sense. XP seems mostly tied to stage lengths and such so the more you drive the more XP you get. Boxing off moments you haven't done it's worth 400 a time for gold.
I think I must just play too much, both the passes so far I've hit level 20 with over a week to spare.

Had a great time with WRC yesterday. I wasnt initially a fan of the handling compared to DR2 but if you put some time and effort into the setups you can make most cars handle the way you want. Finally got the Sierra Cosworth nice and slidey and at the same time manageable and predictable.
Then I started a custom championship in Chili which is a fun rally. Havent gotten the AI dialled in perfectly yet, I was a bit too fast but hardcore damage was on and I damaged the radiator grill which caused the engine to slowly damage. I also did my first 34.5km endurance stage (a bit too long to be honest), but feeling the engine slowly give out and praying for it to make the finish was really cool.
I also forgot to change the tyres at one point so I was struggling to keep it on the road. Still won by a bit of a margin so will up the difficulty next time. Good times though.

Another Rally TV promotion in the official WRC club for those that missed it last time (like me).

No one really knows. There have been hints it could be supported as a single title for a couple years (similar to EA SPORTS PGA Tour) but nothing concrete.
For what it's worth, WRC games have never been named after the year. Each developer has always started with WRC, then gone 2, 3 etc. Except for KT Racing who started at 5, continuing on from Milestone who got to 4. So to me the lack of a year after the title doesn't suggest anything.
Personally I'd like to see them support this game through 2024, make it as good as it can be this year, add the 2024 content as an update and then release a new game for the 2025 season.
