Can we use all cars on the rallycross tracks, say like the sierra cosworth etc... I know we couldnt on Dirt rally, a right bummer that was, shame as you could use the rally cars in sebastian loeb on the rallycros bits im sure, not played that for a while though.

It was said that we could see the whole replay from: tv-style camera view, the mixed (Dirt Rally) view, helicopter and carviews but it seems many struggle to find the tv-style only one. I have the impression it is simply not there

I haven't got the game yet as it comes out on the 9th in Aus, but I'm a little bummed about not having any Pikes Peak or Hillclimb courses, or even the 'Trailblazer' course like from Dirt 3 which were quite fun. 5 locations does seem quite low, hopefully extras are added via DLC. I guess Germany has been replaced by Spain as the Tarmac rally and I have heard about finland not being being allowed.

Codemasters have said that they chose the five locations because of the surface types. Sweden is snow, Spain is tarmac, Michigan is light gravel, Australia is heavy gravel, and Wales is wet gravel.
And a couple of weeks ago, someone here was saying that career mode contains three hundred stages. Plus the Your Stage creations can be included in career mode.
I do, too, but I would rather that they make DLC that adds something to the game rather than being for the sake of it. For example, Mexico is run at high altitude, so the thin air starves the turbocharger and makes the aerodynamics less effective.
All of the stages from Dirt Rally had to go because they're all taken from actual stages.

They're pushing for one. The FIA want to expand to fourteen rounds in 2018, and New Zealand is one of two rounds (the other being Croatia) vying for the vacant spot.
This is exactly what I was thinking of when I was talking about adding locations for the sake of it. If it's just a combination of existing locations, it doesn't add anything to the gameplay experience.

The landrush stuff is more fun than I expected in fact I think I like it more than rallycross. I unlocked historic rally races last night, I hope to try some Group B later on tonight. Also, I'm having a ton of fun with team management stuff, hiring crew, improving facilities and so on. May sound pretty boring to some, but it's surprisingly fun to delegate winnings to your team or to new cars.

My understanding based on what has been posted at Codies' forum is that all current-decade WRC cars are off-limits due to licensing with Kolytonn and the official WRC games.
Unfortunately, no. The physics engines are totally separate, that is the reason why we can't run rally cars on rallycross tracks, and vice-versa.
Online lobbies are fantastic. Championship with up to 6 rallies, 12 stages each, generated right there with Your Stage. Only eight people max. No ghosting. Stage and cumulative times are shown at the end of each stage.
Agreed. However, I ran the Kit Car weekly in Australia last night. It was 6 stages. The same tiles came up quite frequently during those stages. In the end I did expect this to be the case with the Your Stage feature.
Indeed.
I'm truly torn about Dirt 4 at this stage. The RX cars are brilliant to drive, so are the rally cars as long as you stay away from the gravel(ironic). In my opinion they should have kept the gravel surface grip level they had in DR. I'm not sure if the excessive grip on gravel came as a product of the improvement they did to the aero model or suspension.
Throwing the cars around the Dirtfish school is splendid. It truly feels awesome. On the actual gravel stages it's a bit different.

The most odd thing about the Australia Location is where it's supposedly set. Fitzroy?! To those who don't know, Fitzroy is a inner city suburb about 5 minutes from the Melbourne CBD, and is about as far from what it looks like in game. Unless there's another Fitzroy that I'm not aware of..
I've actually read somwhere that there indeed is another Fitzroy in Australia. Can't remember where I read it sadly.

There's a Fitzroy county just west of Coffs Harbour. We don't use counties much - they're really just a legal subdivisions used by the department of lands.
It's not exactly the same, but Your Stage can come up with stages that have considerable changes in elevation. As you traverse a stage you might drive from a low-lying area into hills or vice versa.

Picked this up the other day and so far i am really enjoying it. As a cew have said already i found myself surprised by how much i enjoy the team managment stuff. A few minor things like with any game that could be better imo but all in all a great addition to the dirt franchise.

So the game comes out tonight in the U.K, but the 55 quid price has me a little stuck. I can't help but wonder If I should wait for a price drop.
Can you guys help me out? Can you tell me if much has changed from dirt rally, and what has? And is it worth justifying the purchase of it on top of dirt rally?
