This is fantastic! The news is getting so good here that it's actually news! Nice work RD. This has me cancelling my thoughts of getting SLR. (However, I imagine Seb is not too happy about his Pike's Peak car being in there with his signature on it. lol).

So happy to see the gravel version of PP. They have it nailed, as the gravel version was the Mac Daddy. I'm not sure it can ever be replicated...or ever should be replicated.

What are the online features on this game and what are they planning?

I'd like to see splitscreen, I know it's possible, the files are even in the game, DON'T GO CHEAP ON US NOW, CODEMASTERS.

Good times on console these days for sure. I'll be waiting before making any purchase though to see how it 'really' transfers to console rather than base my purchase on what is promised pre-release.

Are existing PC game owners receiving these added cars/track free or paid dlc?

At least this one you get at the same time as Europe Rob

Really enjoyed that video and love the enthusiasm and passion exuded by the guys which prompted me to go looking into some of the Dirt Rally stuff here on RD. Big disappointment for me is finding that it seems the whole career progression thing from the Grid series is also part of this game too. Can anyone confirm that's the case? That whole grinding out the progression to obtain cars and tuning capabilities was a pain in the backside and not something I would want to return to

Career mode has you starting from the bottom tiers/early WRC cars. But single player/quick race mode has everything unlocked from the get-go.
It strikes a very good balance IMHO.

Thanks for the response, what about in multi-player.. not even sure how that works in this game tbh but do you get any restrictions on what you can race or tune as we did with Grid?

I haven't personally tried MP. But I'd imagine everything is unlocked as is the case in single player. I'll give it a try this weekend.
