how’s the force feedback?😊

Start the rally on Friday morning end by 6 Saturday started by 10 end at 7 Sunday started 5 and end by 5

Firstly Ouninpohja is much more worthy of power stage that Laajavuori. Way more. Having only 2 stages on sunday is rather boring if you follow the results. Also my biggest concern is what if there is a crash. Let's say one of the restarting Rally1 crews makes a risky run for the sunday and crashes 2km before the finish. All other Rally1 crews are already on stage. Now what? What if that happens again on the second pass? Even if only one stage has to be stopped I think the sunday will be a disaster. And after all...... it is Ouninpohja we're talking about so looking back into history we might get some crashes.

It's definitely much better than last year, when we had for sunday a rather boring stage and then a Micky Mouse stage as the power stage. Now its a proper fast stage with many legendary corners and jumps. All this with the same total kilometers. Last year it was almost impossible to go watch three stages on Sunday, so from the spectator POV it's just a massive win. Also the points system makes sure the drivers go all out on Sunday. In the old system, many drivers were taking it easy on Sunday to just bring it home.

I think you guys need to cheer up a bit, when I was growing up none of this would be available to watch unless you went, and if you can’t afford that, then it’s Autosport when it comes out! What difference would more miles on Sunday make? The WRC has made progress, but manufacturers seem to want WEC instead, madness

The current Promoters (and North One before them) are wedded into the Power Stage on a Sunday; so any common sense ideas aren't going to materialise. In an ideal word, Sunday would be better if it had far more mileage - and finished in late afternoon. Otherwise, why not finish on a Saturday evening? The 'one size fits all' is doing the sport no favours.....but we've known that for a while, and nothing changes.

If i were the boss man, i'd run the scoring like this: Overall finish 1st 10pts 2nd 8pts 3rd 6pts 4th 5pts 5th 4pts 6th 3pts 7th 2pts 8th 1pts Then 1 point for a stage win Power stage remains 5,4,3,2,1 points

I hink..... at this point..... im just old and old fashioned..... im sure people who watched rallying in the 70s n 80s thought the 90s rallying was too short and not very good....... and now here i am. its just sad, rally used to be an adventure, finland is the home of gravel rallying, and yet most of the population wont get he chance to see it..... just like all the other rallies..... they dont want live spectators, they want rally TV subscriptions. its never been more distant from its core audience in every aspect of the sport. took the words out of my mouth, most people are in work for the bulk of the rally.

We are gonna see crashes, with points from 2 stages given,and given the stage, Kalles new record is 136 and something on average speed, you have to go more than maximum attack.

4:20 sundays were always bit boring as rallies have usually been largely decided at that point. Besides, Jyväskylä is logistically rather troublesome place in a sense that it takes a long time to drive to and from Jyväskylä so most people seem to end up leaving stages early in sundays anyway. Ofcouse that's completely irrelevant point for people watching it through the net.

Sunday points make no sense for so few stages

It’s a big NO for me.

10 points for 2 stages! 😮

I didn’t enjoy it as much this year because Red Bull have pulled the daily highlights show that paupers like me enjoy watching. A highlights show on a Tuesday night is a bit late as everybody has finished talking about it and moved on to the next race. Anybody know why Red Bull pulled the highlights as they are the promoters after all? It’s going to make following it really difficult now. Good job we have DirtFish. Also, they got rid of Jon Desborough - the voice of rallying. The new highlights package is awful. Look what happened with Formula E. A year behind a paywall and they were haemorraging viewers so they had to let free to air back in. Bad move from Red Bull.

I get the nostalgia part, it reminds me of my Aussie '91 N14 Nissan Pulsar Q (2.0L 143hp), I think you called it the B13 Sunny Saloon 2.0L 16V in the UK.

Can’t wait to help you give it a good detail! Also I’m now on TH-cam, how exciting!

Very nice choice of wheels and extra kudos for going with anthracite, the best colour for a wheel by far!

I think the car will already look really nice, once you clean it and put on some nice wheels. How are you getting the car home, since it is not sitting in your home country?

These kinds of videos are ace.

Love this. I very nearly bought one the same (might have even been that one?). Would have done exactly what your plans are. Love the colour and think it’ll look mint when it’s finished. Keep us updated with any progress.

Should deffo fit a evotech front bumper 👀

Going to enjoy this, my first was a mk5 around 2002 but with 1.3 hcs engine, zero power, bad understeer on crap tires so I always dreamed of doing this!

I’m finding the Polo WRC 2013 much more difficult to drive then the DS3. The Volkswagen has no margin for error and your inputs have to be precise. The DS3 I can manage a big margin for error and be as fast. Both fun cars

I think the new stages are great, but no super special stages still is a big sad.

the game is amaizing as it is, this DLC adds to the tremendousness...... we need to suport the game or there wont be any more games, and lets be honest, RBR with mods aside, its the best out there, theres nothing with this much real stage/racing miles, it has its 'moments' ha, but it really is a wonderful rally game.

EA WRC is an arcady game

They’ve really knocked it out of the park with the le maestros DLC, especially with the visual and the car sounds Hard Charges could mean anything really but it does get me thinking. I hope it’s either to complete the set of WRC+ cars (Toyota and Hyundai) or some more 2.0 WRC’s. The S12b Subaru is the one I really want Clio Rally 3 probably should be in your right and yes it would be great to see some sets completed

wondering what wheel you use? i have a t248 thrustmaster but i think rally is too much for it and steering falls off on longer technical stages

Munster's pace was a big improvement to last year. He was in P4 before the puncture and then reliability issues! Shame he ended it with a crash though

I have to say for Munster despite crashing out I was very impressed with him compared to last year he had better pace and he was pretty consistently up there with the faster drivers.

Ogier should automatically get a 20 second penalty at the start of the Monte Carlo rally to give someone else a chance. 🇫🇷👽

I think we don't give Evans enough credit of how good a driver he is and how good a performance he put in at Monte this year.

Solberg's hairpin drift will forever remain in perpetual coolness. Well worth the penalty.

Man Msport must be so happy LETS GO FORD !!

For me was a pretty fun Monte. I don’t agree about Munster though, I think he did a pretty good job being on times in half of the stages. Yes, he did a mistake but half of the competitors did. He didn’t got away from it. For the rest, I agree. It was lovely to see Fourmaix on that rhythm from the beginning

Take a view at Eliot Delecour

Evans seemed more relaxed in all the stage end videos, seemed like he was comfortable in the car, rarely seen him really get the hammer down last season. Hopefully be a positive season for him

I don't mind teams carrying over their livery through multiple seasons in any racing category, not just WRC. What I do mind are those same teams hyoing up their unveiling if a "new for 202x season" livery and then showing us the same one. If they would be just like "today we are launching our new season. Here is how the car looks, these are our drivers for this season and this is our new major partner" I'd have no problem with it. But when they hyoe up a new livery a d then show us the exact same one then yes, I will complain how boring it is.

Iv bought it can’t wait to try it out

New content is great but I’d be much happier if they would fix the garbage performance of this game. The horrible screen tearing, pop in on the replays and vegetation that clips right through the car. It’s shocking for an undemanding game that has one car on a stage. I doubt it will ever be fixed.
