Offseason again in Dirt? Season 8.5?

Working on the very last magazine (and some updated stats). And to be honest after that is done I am looking forward to a proper simracing/rallying holiday

Also, hopefully leagues will be added fairly swiftly so we can start having some club events again. I think that is smarter then an half-arsed semi-league

 

[h0verfly]

Does that mean there won't be anymore RD DR event?

Indeed.
Unless DiRT 4 is utterly terrible and everyone goes back to DR.

If D4 become terrible I will sell my rig and take another hobby. :O

edit: Maybe I will become an beekeeper or so. My neighbours already has lots of pigeons, so I want bee's

As a little sneak peak of what's to come, I must say Dirt 4 is quite the step from DR.

The key things that they improved.

• The cars feels like they have alot more weight to them
• Braking is much trickier. Longer braking distance and it's pretty easy to "fold" the car when hard on the brakes.
• FFB is a massive improvement in my opinion. I've always been very skeptical about DR FFB.
• Tarmac is indeed much tighter. Don't expect Assetto Corsa, but it's much better than in DR.
• Ligting is gorgeous

Sounds good! Are you a beta-tester?
What do you mean btw, by "fold" when braking, and "tight" with respect to tarmac?

If you're not careful you will lose the car, almost like a folding knife, if you get what I mean? It can also be used to your advantage though ofc

With tight I mean that you feel more connected to the road.

I see all these people getting to play it and rave about it already and it makes me jealous. Come on Amazon, gimme mypre-ordered copy ASAP!

 

[bogani]

It is very different from DR though. Trying to throw the car around as aggressive as I did in DR often leads to the mass of the car pushing me off the road. I feel like I have to be more careful.

There will be opinions about grip, and some cars might need some tweaking.

It'll be very interesting what everybody thinks when it's out

 

[bogani]

The M3 on tarmac is now pure awesomeness!

Hmm, maybe I'm being unfair but the turn-in response of the car looks really... arcadey. :-/ You know what I mean? Impossibly quick?
I'll reserve judgment I guess for now; maybe it feels realistic when you're actually behind the wheel.

It's very hard to judge when not driving yourself. I wasn't trying to be particularly smooth

Anyone know when the final mag will be out????

 

[quicksilver384]

Is there no more events??

No we don't fully know, I have done quite a bit of the writing - but have also stepped in to save another league here at RD at the moment, while others in the RDRC-Crew are figuring out DiRT 4

Nope Season is over, DiRT Rally era is over

Well, there will be new chances in a new game I think

I glanced at the Dirt4 Steam page the other day and it was full of bad reviews. Have you had a chance to try it yet yourself?

Nope, as I am without a job - I cannot justify buying a game at the moment. We in RD were in contact with Codemasters regarding an interview months ago, and again closer to released and I tried (a bit selfish) to get a review copy as well, but we at RD are currently being ignored by Codies by the looks of it, as no-one got any replies.

However @Jack Hintz from the RDRC-Crew do have the game
