Pros: - Well made cars from the 60s to modern WRC / Rally1 with their different characteristics
- Snappy handling, ~10% more grip than DR2.0 - good out of the box wheel feel
- Locations, a lot of variety in stages with great flow
- Racenet Clubs
- Custom Championships
- Overall visuals and audio
Cons: - Performance issues, especially on certain stages in Monte Carlo or Croatia
- Inconsistent AI times, sometimes killing the immersion in career
- No Arenas or Super Special Stages - bummer
- Handling is rather easy, tyres make a difference (e.g. Winter tyres have a longer braking distance then Softs @ Monte Carlo) but there is no good feeling for tyre wear or even brake fading effects -> simcade
- No VR, no proper Triples support, no Telemetry support
Tendency for a 4.5/5 in case Codemasters fixes the AI times, stuttering and add more functionality for simracers.
The good feeling for cars especially on gravel make it super enjoyable for me though.
