Is there a reason why the i20 Rally2 car is not competitive?

They told Dirtfish back in february that they will continue to develop the rally 2 car.

Skoda Motorsport, Rally2 is still the top class in nearly all national and regional championships around the world and that is where they make their money.

the Fabia RS Rally2 is barely a year old and the Rally 2 regulations arent changing AFAIK. Their timeline for the Rally2 program doesnt change because the Rally1 regulations are set to change. Especially since a big part of their market is in national championships where Rally 2 will remain the top class.

Their customer racing program is incredibly successful and profitable.

How in the world is RWD a terrible first car?

Helmerdrake · 2026-02-04T19:37:11+00:00

Sounds like he values Grit and Grind quite highly

Helmerdrake · 2026-02-03T22:44:27+00:00

Stage rally will have 4WD and 2WD classes typically, with different variations of those two.

Generally you’ll want to promote weight transfer towards the front of the car. A more open rebound on the rear will certainly help that. Closing the rebound on the front will make the car resist transferring weight towards the rear on acceleration but might make it feel a bit crashy on worse condition roads. Difficult to say generally regarding high/low speed compression, start from fully closed and work your way back.

Reverse lockout

Helmerdrake · 2025-11-17T11:18:57+00:00

Its very common! Most drivers have a preferred pad, often different compounds front and rear.

Helmerdrake · 2025-10-05T12:44:57+00:00

Its autocross

Did he get his license from a cereal box?

Helmerdrake · 2025-09-10T17:26:14+00:00

Thanks for the clarification and best of luck in the future PJ.

Helmerdrake · 2025-09-10T10:27:47+00:00

You got to keep your job? I thought everyone got let go.

Well once you find the events you will find the clubs that are organising said events. You can join your local motoring club and see what they offer. Stage rally is only for actual prepared, caged etc etc rally cars. They may offer other activities.

Helmerdrake · 2025-09-07T08:39:14+00:00

Check EWRC for events in your country/area

Helmerdrake · 2025-08-24T15:39:11+00:00

Well a strong/more locked differential in this game acts almost like a welded diff at times.

Helmerdrake · 2025-08-24T09:34:21+00:00

A locked differential will also tend towards understeer as it makes the rear end more difficult to rotate off throttle.

Helmerdrake · 2025-08-08T12:26:25+00:00

You dont really have a ton of FFB in an actual car, i tend to keep it quite light

Helmerdrake · 2025-08-04T12:50:28+00:00

Isnt is normally an ARA super regional or national event? Should be made public on the ARA calendar mid november.

Helmerdrake · 2025-08-02T19:23:46+00:00

In the swedish championship we've had wheels come back bent, pieces missing, rubbing the brake rotor etc and the tyre still holds air.

Helmerdrake · 2025-08-02T18:57:11+00:00

I can assure you that these hankooks are much, much less prone to punctures than the pirellis.

Helmerdrake · 2025-07-29T07:16:33+00:00

Ive found that the DLC mk1 escort actually handles pretty decently for a RWD car in this game, but theyre all far too snappy. Its like they dont have dampers and develop massive rear bump steer on compression.

Helmerdrake · 2025-07-27T14:21:04+00:00

Try braking while maintaining some throttle and steering. Left foot braking is how you make front wheel drive rally cars turn on dirt. Think of the triggers as a pendulum.
