This lady is an excellent reviewer (and her guide to installing RBR was extremely helpful too). Some good picks here - one of about 80 hours into the game and loving it.
Excellent stage suggestions thanks. I'm also really enjoying this title. The main sadness is that Rally GB is no more, as that means that some truly great forest stages are missing.
All the stages are based on real roads/tracks it's true, but I believe some haven't been used for rally stages before so they've used a bit of poetic license - in those cases (like Portugal and Mexico) they've done a really good job though as they're some of the most epic in the game. Great list btw, though I would have added the mad Soysambu stage in Kenya as well.
From what i have seen in dirt rally and 2.0 is that at least germany used the panzerplatte as baseplate and the monte stages were real to an extent, as were the wales stages
Fafe stage isn't in the game because the Codemasters devs went there in early 2020 to scan the roads before they got the official WRC license, so they just scanned other ones in the area. apparently same thing happened with Mexico (and possibly a couple others?) but yeah, great little video! I don't own the game any more (I refunded it after playing 2.5 hours on steam because it looked and ran poorly on my mid-tier laptop), but I'm happy to see people are liking the handling and appreciating the use of real-life roads, just like DR2 before it. I just hope the next game is ported in UE5 or something so it looks better.
Good list. I'd add El Chocolate in Mexico too. Very technical and bumpy. There is a good recreation of it in Sebastien Loeb Rally Evo, but I always wanted to see Codemasters do that stage. And just like the rest of the game, they did a great job.
"El Chocolate" in the game isn't based on real rally stages though, it's just roads in the same region which look like it. it's because the devs went there to scan the roads _before_ they got the official WRC license in 2020. same thing with the Portuguese stages.
@@iansteelmatheson Yep, very short section on EAWRC Mexico stage was part of El Cubilete stage of Rally Mexico in early 2010s. For Portugal, Codies used road between real Fafe and Viera Do Minho stages.
That blind Left 5 in Estonia is where I generally throw all the progress to waste, either by crashing into something, spinning in the grass or getting some direct interaction with the spectators.
At first I'm delighted with the intro specifically singling out the Fafe Portugal stage as THE bummer of missing in action. When I read first rumours about this title and all the real world stages, I was immediately thinking they were planning this stage as a 1st to-do. As well as emphasizing Ouninpohja as another elephant in the room left out (Paijala is only a weak plaster on the wound in this regard). Apart from that - this top 7 is a splendid bid ❤
That Estonian 1 Left😅 I never got it right yet, but Otepää is probably my favourite stage so far, along with the village passes at Rally Mediterraneo. Feeling the best in the '21 Fiesta. That car handles so well😮
Nice list! I live relatively close to Ouninpohja and you are correct, the old form has not been used in the past years. The current stage uses a different name, but it has the famous entry to field and a tight hairpin part (known as Kakaristo) which attracts people year after year.
That was excellent video, some excellent stages to attack this afternoon. Damn Greece was a challenge. Excellent spot on Doctor's Hill being Waipu. Any idea if Waiwera is a real road as well. The place is just sth of Waipu, but it also feels a bit like Wairarapa roads, could also be a Hawkes Bay road too. So many amazing roads in NZ. Brings back great memories of growing up on NZ gravel with no neighbours and a rear wheel drive 4 wheeler.
Col de Turini is also my favorite one. Its a pitty that its still got some screen tearing in that stage (ps5). But the game is going the right way. Maybe everthing will be fixed with the next patch.
@@OverTake_gg Maybe next year they will add it in. WRC9 added extra Portugal stages so there is nothing stopping them from putting it in EA SPORTS WRC 2 with the existing Portugal stages in it as well.
Don't tell me what to do!!!! Ive done my time in my own real Subaru p1 and loads of race bikes so i dont need to be told by a nerd to go to a channel because she's a rally driver so what!!!
@@TeamHorneyRacing I know, dude just flies off the handle over a simple suggestion. And what’s even stranger is that my suggestion was referring him directly to more of what he said he wanted in his original comment. “A female rally driver, more please”. SMH
