I hold them in about equal stead, to be honest. Codies ultra aggressive dlc model turns me off, wheels never seem to have gotten on with their games, RWD cars are awful, and for the love of God, why is their Sweden so impossibly narrow? The WRC games have had better stages and a more comprehensive, realistic list of them for a few games now. The games drive that similarly that there's very little to seperate them. WRC adding a decent list of classics (and only making 2 of them dlc so far) definitely swung the needle, imo.

Oh, I hate them. I have a bad relationship with DR2.0, but it's my own fault, I was pretty handy at Dirt 4, but then they had to go and try to make it all realistic and it's just been a bogey game for me ever since. Too much muscle memory from the intensely chuckable, arcadey Dirt 4 cars. I've gotten on much better with WRCs Stratos and 037 thus far.
Not to imply they didn't aim for good, or that you don't know what you're talking about, I just found the pendulum effect very exaggerated in DR2.0, and it doesn't mesh well with my, shall we say, flamboyant technique.

No shutter speed option, it's been absent from every title so far and is massively needed.
In other news, new update out on Steam.

Bug fix FFB pre-stage (force feedback was launched before the start of the race)

The main thing with RWD's is just to drive as smooth as possible and treat it like driving a race car on a circuit. Sliding excessively is in most regards slower, The more confidence you get then you will find yourself being able to balance slides and use the momentum and pendulum like effect to your advantage. Along with being nice and smooth with the wheel, just learning to use proper throttle control is the most important thing.
Another big thing that helps a lot is changing a few things with the setup. If you aren't too confident in tuning or adjusting stuff just limit it to loosening the rear diff at first. This will make the car inherently slower through a stage but should make it much more forgiving to drive. Then stuff like softening ARB's and adjusting toe can further help a RWD car to start handling beautifully.
You said it yourself though, a "Flamboyant Technique" isn't that suitable to the RWD's for the most part. Especially with default setups.☺️👍

I'm alright in them - I can reign myself in if I reaaaally have to. With the much more basic physics back in Dirt 4 I'd have rated myself an elite 037 driver and I could count on a single digit slot in a daily stage if it came up, but yes the teeth gritted, right foot control method does have its drawbacks, and in the more realistic 2.0 I was faster in an R2 or F2 Kit Car than anything else.
I rarely fiddle with setups for two main reasons, I work all week and don't find much joy in the tinkering, and I also find some fun in driving around the flaws in a setup. That said, a lot of the D2.0 stock setups are abysmal, and the enigmatic tarmac physics always made what to do a bit of a head scratcher there.
There's an argument to be made that on a rally stage, liftoff oversteer is more fun than power oversteer! But I'll let you all fight about that among yourselves.
In game related news, I managed to slog back thru the end of my WRC2 career and this time got the Portugal PS for my Toyota tryout, which I smashed and moved up, have survived Monte which I'm awful at, and now using Sweden to find the speed in the big boy car. Issa good game.

Did listen to a video comparing sounds of 9 and 10, last was on tv with good headphones, and it did sound really crisper, more detailed in 10.
Edit: not so much in tv cam replays though, still weak.
It was a full modern wrc car in the different povs.
Encouraging.., now i wonder how 10 runs on a std ps4 vs 9 and 8.
Also noticed on some video that the silly cartoony shaking of the car, in 3rd person especially, at the start, like the car is scared lol, is gone. Maybe it's an option.
Edit2: i,had uninstalled 8 even, after being so dissatisfied, took a chance once more, reinstalled,
This time switched back to my wheel, as on pad i find it way too sensitive, especially on tarmac.
Then i redialed all ffb, put back many i had set to 0 etc.
And im feeling it pretty well really, more than i thought.
Will try set times, weather to make it so less shadows and lighting effects, so it will hopefully run smoother too.
Was running a full wrc modern car on the sss turkey. I almost never tried until now the wrc cars, mostly all others.
They seem more lively, sliding etc, on that tarmac, which im glad, at least with hard tires.
Back to having fun, glad i didn't give up, since i want to enjoy the newer games.
Still slow fps and bad sounds but hoping with 9 or 10..

Subaru ought to get off of whatever high horse they're on with licensing. Is Toyota to blame or what?
Oh well, so much for a part of the reason I bought the game. Thanks for the heads up.

Noticed though the car sounds dont seem reactive, dynamic, like slow, bland, artifical, not like a racing engine much. 9 seems better for that maybe, even if more fuzzy sound like in 8.
They can't seem to do this right i dont know.
Dash view sound seems ok.
One video in dash view with a c3 i think, sounded and looked pretty damn real.
In wrc8 i also lowered voice and engine levels and up the volume, to hear better the road surface, to feel better all and it helps too alot, also set back up a little the background sounds, good for atmosphere, with the helo, firecrackers, crowds.

I don't think so, but they should have both in the game.
As far as I remember from a interview with Walter Röhrl, he has driven mostly the newer Sport but this thing had a lot of problems. However in the Monte Carlo Event he has driven the Quattro A2.
In Wikipedia it is also written that Mikkola and Blomqvist used more the Quattro A2 while Röhrl and Mouton used the Quattro Sport: "Während Hannu Mikkola und Stig Blomqvist häufig den Audi Quattro A2 pilotierten, fuhren Röhrl und Mouton fast durchweg den Audi Sport Quattro." https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rallye-Weltmeisterschaft_1984

Yeah, but where the researchers have messed up is with labelling the car incorrectly. Looks like they just went, yep, 1984, that was a sport, without really much effort going into it. It's Blomqvist no.7 car so should be labelled as an A2. Whether they should or shouldn't have both in the game is moot as it is recreating the 1984 Monte Carlo event in the hands of Blomqvist so it should be called an A2 not a Sport.

Some changes to the roadmap and acknowledgment of issues by the devs here:
Having completed 50th Anniversary mode, I figured I'd get started on a career with a personal team. Instead I've been derailed into doing regular backroads driving on various stages in the historic cars, with the co-driver muted. The game as it is intended to be played is not terribly alluring, but these roads are great, and the historic cars offer the right performance for a fun drive. 👍
It's still early days, but on some category+stage combos I ranked in the top 5 without the (audio) pacenotes.

Since setting up better for this game, wrc8 for now.., the ffb and sounds, and using cockpit view now, and focusing more on modern cars ,im back really appreciating it.
Can feel the heft of cars, the road feel, on both loose and tarmac, especially tarmac compared to before.
I wonder if things like lack of replay on training challenges, and not keeping your past best times, has been remedied in 9 or 10.
Cant even see if i already did pass what challenges, strange. Although they are pretty darn easy.
Older cars though, can't say i feel them so well, lacks mechanical, physicality, presence, feel, especially the transmissions, manual with clutch etc. Might as well be automatic almost.
Also i,set motion blur off, not sure but seems smoother fps.
Also, since i up the volume and lowered engine and voice, problem is the collision sound is crazy loud for smallest thing.
I hope in newer games they added more settings to adjust different sound volumes.
