I have *never* seen that Tornado on the circuit in the game!

Haven't played for ages but pretty sure there was a point where you'd do a loop round a fighter jet.

Probably the reason I kept crashing, too busy looking at the scenery

[BOBTEE]

I can't think what it's called and I'm away at the moment, flug something ring. You drive around it in the game whereas in real life it's by a long straight, near a loopy round bit.

Just put this back in after not playing it for a while and was surprised that there was no update, is console still on 1.1?

Dirt rally getting a vr update on the PS4

Good news!

[Tonsko]

For a tenner.

[craste]

Worth it I think.

So, Dirt 4.

It'll be a sequel to Dirt 3 rather than Dirt Rally which will no doubt make it more arcadey like the last one was. If it has VR support though, I'll probably give it a go.

Lots of interweb rumours and gossip regarding a proper sequel in the form of 'Dirt Rally 2' but, nothing confirmed by codemasters.

Haven't played this since the last tournament ended, might have a little play at the weekend and see how bad I am now

[Sheetmaself]

Anyone fancy setting up another tournament?
Was really good last time, i did try to set one up but those that tried it will remember i never fully got the hang of setting them up!

Just reading an interview on Redbull.com with Paul Coleman and he's saying it will be a switchable handling mode, arcade or sim. To be honest I liked Dirt 2, Dirt 3 and of course Dirt Rally, so if it's a combination of the 2 but with more of a grounded atmosphere it'll be onto a winner. Seen some screenshots of some of serious cars such as a Group A Evo 6 and an R4(?) spec Impreza. Can't wait!

That sounds interesting. As long as you get the same content and the 'full game' if you choose to use one type of handling exclusively (I have no interest in arcade mode) and your times are only competing with other sim times, it might actually work.

I'd certainly join one but, I struggled with the admin side of it last time so, I'd rather just be a competitor. I've also defected from PS4 to PC now, which may not be as well populated a format on here...

[Tonsko]

I could fire up the cross platform leagues again. Would prefer to open new leagues on each platform though, so I can just create it on each one and post the schedule.

If there's interest post here...

If you're the right frame, it'll be the most comfortable chair you've ever used. I've sat in mine for 12+ hours with no problems.
