Sometimes they are like mountains (mostly) and sometimes it just dont happens anything hittting them
yes. yes I amQuote:

For the shorter stages I usually end up around 40 seconds shy even if I have a reasonably quick run!Quote:

For what it's worth: here's my run on a daily some weeks ago which was good enough for 3th place:

It does look incredible, I shall be getting an Xbox 1 when this comes out on it!
Quick question, are there many unique stages in each location, or is it like Dirt 3 with variations of a long stage?
Basically what they do is pick 1 real life stage and cut that in 2. So you have 2 long stages (+/- 6 minutes in length). These are then split into two again and also reversed. So in total there are 12 stages per location (4 long, 8 short), of which 2 long ones are truly unique (the rest is reversed or split into half).Quote:

It's just championships of different classes, the hillclimb and rallycross modes are completely separate championships. Worth doing though, in particular the rallycross because it's fun, easy and earns lots of credits.Quote:

Finished my first monthly event in 601st (right in the middle) and 19 minutes down. Learnt quite a bit though, during the early stages I was driving too quick and kept hitting things, which meant the car was badly damaged for a lot of the middle stages. I also need to make the most of the stages that I'm good at, too many of the German stages I did with a trashed car that had no real pull out of the tight corners. Great game though, the online events really mix things up and stop it from getting stale.
I just bought the Xbox One! Ohhhh!! Now have to wait.... :/
I've only really played about 10 hours or so on Dirt but as much as I've enjoyed it, I've also found it incredibly difficult. Every little mistake is punished. And this is coming from someone who normally plays Iracing.
I think my biggest difficulty is trying to get my wheel settings to feel right. Codemasters don't make things simple.
Maybe we should put our Steam account names on here so we can compare times.
Time was the biggest help for me, that and doing a lot of stages in the Mini. There's a huge difference in driving style between cars too, the Group B stuff is massively different from car to car with how you turn in, apply the power etc.Quote:

I changed my wheel setttings and I've seen a massive gain in performance. I think my best time at Sweet Lamb is now 6m18sec.
Jonathan M Brown 007 I think for some reason
2016 Fiesta WRC livery already out there ! :)
http://mesa.extra.hu/images/stories/...0-37-01-35.jpg
Just seen this http://blog.us.playstation.com/2016/...ly-didnt-know/
Photos show an Alpine and a rallycross Mini, are these console only additions, mods or something we can expect to see on PC?
Edit: Aah, just read up on the console release, seems like it will bring some new cars for the rest of us too http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/20...fully-not-much
Will be nice to drive something different on the rallycross tracks, I hope they add another circuit at some point too.
Okay so it's only halfway through the day, but just put in a time on the daily event that was top 50 and top 10 for those using controllers, so I'm pretty chuffed with myself :D Okay so over the next 12 hours there will be some much quicker times, but at the minute I'm less than 4 seconds away from being the best controller player in the world ;)
What stage?
Flugzeugring Reverse in an Evo X. Managed 2:52.076 which was 9 seconds off the best time and good enough for 46th o/a. 10th best controller time, 4.050 off the best time.
What controller are you using? I've got an Xbox 360 fro windows and I've not come across anything else that has better trigger for driving games.
Same thing, I bought a USB dealy so I can use my old 360 controller. I really like the feel of the 360 controller anyway, seem to do better with that than if I use the wheel.
Been playing this for a couple weeks on the Xbox One, and man is it as hard, but bloomin brilliant as everyone says! Managed to get the achievement for rolling and landing on my wheels in under a mile on my first stage in the Mk2 Escort :laugh: Loving Finland, such a buzz taking off over a jump sideways at 100mph+, while Greece does my head in with it being so tight and twisty!
Greece is a nightmare! But I managed to win it on the 2nd hardest difficulty because everyone ahead of me retired.Quote:

Some of the crashes I've had have been very "hollywood" with the car launching miles into the air off a small bump. Also noticed that some of the stage side signs are amazingly solid, but maybe I should just not hit them!
Really surprised that there hasn't been more posted here about this game, especially since it came out on console. This is easily the best rally game/sim in 20 years; automatically makes everything else obsolete, but in particular, Milestone should hang their heads in shame. Now we've seen how it's actually done, and yet they're still churning out shite like Sebastian Loeb Rally Evo. Well done Codemasters. It took you f*cking long enough, but you got there eventually.
like you said its strange that isnt more posts about this amazing game (i feel more younger while playing)Quote:

Think the Racenet thing is mostly consoles, I haven't had an issue on PC
Got to admit it has helped me a couple times when I have had bad stages, but its bloomin annoying when you can't even sign in to have a go.
Is anyone on Xbox on here? I need some friends....on dirt to compare times with etc. My GT is AllyCummins
I suck in this game
XB One console... First split I'm 17 seconds behind already if I haven't crash or hit a little bump on the roads edge....
For a while I couldn't stop crashing, usually at high speed and at the slightest hint of a bump in the road or a slight bend. I found the way to learn how to drive better was to go very slowly and upshifting early. I slowly built up confidence but still crash a bit :D but I am at least driving at full speed now. I also found most cars are very different in driving style to one another - which I like - so I am confident in the Sport Quattro, Quattro Pikes Peak, 405 T16 and less so in the Group A Impreza. Anything else I am still learning, but then why would I want to drive something that isn't either an inline five or an unequal-length-headered flat-four?
I think it depends on a few things. Are you using a racing wheel or a controller? I am using a controller, but have played it on a racing wheel, and the wheel is much easier. Also, the cars are very different, as you mentioned. I have found both Imprezas very forgiving indeed, whereas the Escort Cosworth (which I was looking forward to the most!), is a total nightmare for handling.Quote:
