There seems to be only Greece and Wales so far (that I've seen). There's a list somewhere.
Also: I know there's a PH group on steam, but I've speculatively created a group called Pistonheads-DirtRally [PH-DR] to make it easier to find each other, if that suits anyone.
Monte Carlo too, apparently there are 10 courses on each, of varying lengths, I think the longest I've done was nearly 8 minutes. Pikes Peak will be available end of May, then a German rally course in June.Also: I know there's a PH group on steam, but I've speculatively created a group called Pistonheads-DirtRally [PH-DR] to make it easier to find each other, if that suits anyone.

Fair enough, I have heard there are a fair few events to be added, with no extra charge too.Also: I know there's a PH group on steam, but I've speculatively created a group called Pistonheads-DirtRally [PH-DR] to make it easier to find each other, if that suits anyone.

-Had a proper go this evening on the Monty course. My word it's hard. SOOOO easy to spin on turn in and on exit. Really wanted to love the T-16. Horrible laggy think though. The 6R4 is simply a blast to drive though although very very pointy. What's impressive is there a noticeable improvement through the decades in handling although speed drops.
Big pat on the back for codies although they need to sort out a wheel set-up screen to adjust dead-zone etc.
Looking forward to see where this goes.

. are there other co driver voices? The one in the Stratos video above seemed a bit calm, a different voice that's a bit more shouty and agitated would be good.I grabbed 20 mins on it, Tried the Stratos and 6R4 on the Greek stage, Its not right to overly criticise so early on, Firstly i cant map a button for the clutch? I hope im not missing something here, The cars need a working clutch and yes i am manual not auto. The cars feel too grippy?(I expect the 6R4 is though?) Also too slow? I expected these 2 to fly especially the 6R4? The comments above seem about right, Hasnt got the 'wow' factor RBR had out the box years ago but it is early days. Graphics OK, Nothing special compared to Pcars. Will try to get a few more hours on it over the weekend. Codemasters really have given themselves the opportunity to surpass RBR and be the new no1 Rally sim, If so they should sell millions, I really hope they take on board what experienced RBR players and hardcore rally enthusiasts (Both not me!) have to say and do not dissapoint as they have with past titles.

Getting into this a bit now, I've done nearly five hours into the Career mode, just gone up to clubman and have upgraded my Lancia Stratos. I also managed to place first on a stage at last (Monte Carlo). I'm still no where near winning a round in the championship though, the AI is insane and I don't seem to be able to get through the high speed sections quickly enough.
How is everyone else getting on? Anybody won anyything yet?

Ok, finally got it working and had a quick go, very impressed so far.
It is only early access,the FFB is pretty bad, the physics are not quite there yet and the graphics are a little dated compared to the current crop.
But, the sounds are incredibly good, with 5.1 the rear engined cars put out all their sound through the rear speakers and they sound fabulous. The graphics whilst dated are still very good, through the Forrest and open fields of Wales they are really nice running on ultra.
The car selection is really good and the locations are limited but the stages are long and great fun.
Honestly, for 22 quid it is well worth it, as an opening gambit it is as close to RBR as I have seen and the direction is clear to see.
And if you are struggling to get your H pattern and clutch working, it is in your profile and not options, there is a choice to change from manual to h pattern and full clutch, makes it all the more enjoyable.
An excellent start.
