I think Loebs c4 needs a tune up in his special event. I dont know if they designed the game like this, I dont know if its the rallyu cars or track conditions, but I hit the gas and it takes 2 secs for the car to start building rpms. Its junk. And its not operator error, just so thats covered. Anyone else noticed this?
 
I'm thinking this is because of the uneven ground you are driving on. The roads are bumpy and when the tires hit the ground again the rpms drop. If you take the same car and race on tarmac the RPM's would go up as you would expect.

Have you got traction control on because it will stop your wheels spinning so you'll get no drive whilst sliding round the tighter corners.

This.

Also the car's "backfiring" because hot exhaust+excess fuel after throttle off= "backfire". It maybe spitting but it certainly isn't sputtering.

that could be the only legitimate reasoning behind what I'm seeing on the rpm's. All driving assist are off, TC and all.

I've noticed too that the WRC cars seem to have trouble getting going on dirt, especially in the one challenge where you start on an incline.

Since I've never driven a WRC car in real life I dunno how realistic this is.. But I suppose it's a challenge we have to overcome to drive these things.
 
Once you've gotten off the line you shouldn't really be letting the revs get low enough for all that "sputtering" to start up. I'm guessing you're slowing down too much for the corners and trying to grip your way around them rather than let the wheels spin and slide around.
