This is interesting!

Wonder if we might be getting a pack of WRC2 liveries that weren't full season entrants? I note that Pepe did Monte, Croatia and Portgual last year. Might be being optimistic though...just hoping for a proper Castrol MEM Yaris Rally2 from Rally Japan to be honest 😂

Gryazin's Initial D tribute livery.

But I fear we are being too optimistic.
 
I don't think I realised how much I missed the Polo till it was added. What a lovely car, really fun to drive, enjoy the DS3 too not to mention the C4 in factory colours.
 
I know there's comments about "Oh it's not 12 stages, just 2 long ones made into segments" but these new additions are really great to drive. The Brianconnet is quite a different beast compared to some of the other Monte ones, especially after the twisty rocky start, then the fast downhill section where it's easy to lose control. Excellent
Fafe is also really good and fast compared to some of the other tricky Portugal stages, though in some places it feels quite wide.
I love the DS3 and where I'm not a massive fan of FWD cars, I must say the Xsara kit car and even the S1600 Peugeot are also great to drive.

Agreed, Brianconnet is such a fun challenge. Fwiw Fafe is quite wide in real life as well, for a rally stage.
 
Brianconnet is really challenging. Gives me more respect for the real life drivers for sure. I can see why the drivers love Fafe's jumps.

My local store had this for £16 which I feel it was too good to turn down.

Early impressions are the graphics are nowhere as bad as I heard, the long stages are great, handling feels OK on controller (haven't tried it on a wheel yet) and the career mode is miles ahead of Dirt Rally.

The screen tearing however is pretty bad on some stages, only downside so far.

Looking forward to getting stuck into it properly, there's a lot of content in this game.

I doubt you’ll see bodywork upgrades.

Liveries, that would be nice. DiRT Rally 2.0 added a few post-launch.

I've always wondered why, in DR 2.0, the Impreza WRC 2001 stickers color looked so greenish. Today I found the answer: they are actually light green, the only decal in the correct yellow is placed under bonnet (unedited PS4 screenshot below)

This latest DLC has really reminded me how much I loved the 2012-2016 era of the WRC. The Polo, DS3 and (even though it's not new) Mini are a joy to drive at the limit. I think it could easily be my favourite category on the game right now.

Probably helps that it brings back tonnes of memories of seeing those cars in real-life as I chased them around Europe 😂

We just need a Fiesta and i20 now...🙈
 
There are 2 minis now. One early and one later with more bhp. It’s a new car to me. Great to drive over original.

In the end I don't think the update is going to make me play more than before; when I read about the raised level cap it was great news to me; then I started the game when the update dropped and discovered that it already made me reach the new maximum, what a pity :(:lol:

My Weekly Club, however, will make sure that I play at least once a week ;)

A little off topic: if you really love that period you might wanna check out my YT channel on Febraury 1st (11 AM, Rome time); you might like what's coming :sly:

I reckon the 2011-16 Fiesta WRC is a really good bet to be in Hard Chargers. Particularly if as expected it's a Scandanavian theme as it was driven by Hirvonen, Latvala and Petter Solberg. I think I read there are licencing issues with Hyundai though that make an older i20 unlikely. The first gen test car was in DIRT Rally though so never say never.

Really enjoying all these new cars still. I'm particularly enjoying revisiting all the Citroens from the Xsara Kit Car on. I always underappreciated the DS3 at the time, but I love it now.

Such a good era, shows that simplicity in regulations can work as it was basically just S2000 rules with bolt on turbos and aero. That's kind of why I am hopeful for the new regulations for WRC in 2027 I think it is.

Agreed with the other cars, if we could get the Fiesta and somehow license the i20*, would be perfection.




*The leak I have seen suggests this might not be impossible in the future.

I really am hoping for the Fiesta RS WRC to make a return since Dirt Rally. Think it would have to be the 2011-2014 car since the 2015 and 2016 car has the updated front end and they probably wouldn't add both?

I gone the opposite way, bang into this game now. After we had a rocky start to the marriage.
 
Some of the moments in the Le Maestros pack were pretty tough, particularly the C4 on Portugal, having to get a 20 second gap in 5.5km. Needs not only a clean run but a flat out run too.


And this one in the C2, relatively easy to clear the 25 seconds for the gold, but it doesn't like catching pebbles or anything so needs absolute concentration.
 
Am I really bad at driving the DS3 or is it actually this slow?

Anyone else finding stuttering again now since the update? :(

It always stutters when it has fresh shaders to compile. In the past the stuttering went away for me after playing the new stage a couple of times.
