New track DLC?
This must be the missing parts of DiRT3.
Personally DiRT3 feels like there are parts missing.
Lack of buggies & RAID tracks.
Maybe it's the reason why there is so much Gymkhana thrown in there.
Don't mind Gymkhana at all but there seems to be a lack of variety still, unless you get the DLC.

Very good driving. Good show!
Just so happens I also did that same track with the peugeot, last night. Except it was with the original livery, it was raining and I drive with a keyboard. :p
May I ask which of the classic hill-climbers you like the most?

You seem to go a bit wide on the corners, not that it's too bad there, since the road is very wide and there's no walls. But nice driving anyway. I'd like to see you fight your way trough in more "claustrophobic" stages. :p
BTW, I'm having serious difficulties driving in the snow, in D3. :( It's something that is making me uncomfortable, since in other CMR games (1 to 5) I was fast. Now it takes me 3 tries to beat Block in a stage. WTH?! :confused:

Just drop the skill level down to 1 and you won't.....shouldn't.....have to take you 3 tries.

Completed DiRT World Tour again, this time with no assists, just have to finish off the smaller triangles down the bottom.
Still bugs me that my old DiRT3 profile stopped letting me get achievements.

Just beat my personal best in Gymkhana 760,000 and something, I think it was in Monaco near the docks :/.
Seems it is easier to get higher scores with no assists once you get used to it.

Thanks! "Real-life" driving is a hobby of mine, I'm heading up to Road America this weekend! I do like the Peugeot, not sure what I like best yet. I know I do not like the Fiesta at all. I tend to be driving the Ford RS200 as I got the Bronze livery and it looks neat.

whats the diff between 1080p n original?

I love when ppl upload high res stuff like this, I don't mind the long load lol

Original is better quality, it's like 16mbps, while the 1080p option is a bit less.

Oh, and triple frontflip!!

Yes we will. For the record though, I just lost it on that one track and decided to go all gymkana in the middle of a rally. Twas fun!

Sorry, not going below level 5. It's been like that from start and I always play on the hardest levels. I just don't go for 6 because I already noticed that 1st place is almost unobtainable. They put a damn robot driving the car.
And that's the way I play and recommend to play, no assists at all.
I used to snow, I'm a Canadian, but I find the snow stages the easy?

My strenght in snow stages are the way I cut the corners, risky, but saves loads of time. Where do you lose your time? Also don't forget to tune your car
I always tune the car. It's the 1st step towards winning.
I usually loose control on the bumps or have difficulty swinging the car when approaching a corner. I'm sure that it's because I haven't trained enough, since I can't understand when I have traction and when I don't. I must say, it was a bit more noticeable in the older games.
Thanks! "Real-life" driving is a hobby of mine, I'm heading up to Road America this weekend! I do like the Peugeot, not sure what I like best yet. I know I do not like the Fiesta at all. I tend to be driving the Ford RS200 as I got the Bronze livery and it looks neat.
Good luck on the race! Here's hoping for 1st place! :toast:
The closest I'm going to do is a go-kart race next saturday.
I find the Peugeot a little explosive and uncontrollable, but hey, I am driving on a keyboard. I find the Audi and the Toyota more "tamed". I also love the sound of the Audi. As for the moderns, I don't have any particular issues with the Fiesta, but I do with the Suzuki. The BMW and the Hyundai are fun to drive. The BMW, being RWD, is a real challenge.
As for Group B cars, I'm wishing Codemasters will eventually release the Lancia 037 Rally :D (my favorite rally car - I hope they don't mess up the sound), since they already Released the Delta S4 :rockout:, but so far I'm having great fun fighting my way trough the stage with the Sport Quattro and the RS200. Seriously, with all driving aids off, it's a real fight to keep those cars in control.
Oh, and triple frontflip!!

I reckon Block couldn't do it better. :respect:

I find the Peugeot a little explosive and uncontrollable, but hey, I am driving on a keyboard. I find the Audi and the Toyota more "tamed". I also love the sound of the Audi. As for the moderns, I don't have any particular issues with the Fiesta, but I do with the Suzuki. The BMW and the Hyundai are fun to drive. The BMW, being RWD, is a real challenge.
As for Group B cars, I'm wishing Codemasters will eventually release the Lancia 037 Rally :D (my favorite rally car - I hope they don't mess up the sound), since they already Released the Delta S4 :rockout:, but so far I'm having great fun fighting my way trough the stage with the Sport Quattro and the RS200. Seriously, with all driving aids off, it's a real fight to keep those cars in control.

I reckon Block couldn't do it better. :respect:

Try using the settings the help you corner better, and increase your ride height a bit maybe. The traction might be confusing, you just have to practice I guess? I understand quite fast, but I'm guessing many will need more time. Also practice taking control over your card after bumps, as that will help you in all races, not just snow

I take corners early btw, always works best for me.

I have to adjust the deadzone and saturation of the controls, the car is reacting too quickly. It's pretty much 0 and 1. I think the problem relies there.
