    I was nervous about this summit since y’all absolutely ruined RR handling but to my surprise the events are very fun. I absolutely smashed each event on my first try this week. So, good job. I really hope y’all revert RR handling back to the way it was, used to be my favorite discipline, now it’s simply bad.

    ETA. I already own all the parts for this hummer in the far and beyond shop so there’s nothing to buy. Could a quick equip button be added for people to make their vehicles into this one when we own all the parts? It’s not always clear which items are on it.

    IVT keeps ******g up disciplines by adding vehicles with different handling physics in the same discipline. Now we have a ******g luxury SUV with better handling than hatchbacks purpose bult for rally cross competition. Before this WRC05 was the only new model RX. And new RRs have different handling too, shared with HX and Ghost Recon truck (but both cars had some major drawbacks, like low top speed in HX case, that newer cars dont).

    What’s amazing to me is you can move street cars a little bit while airborne. You cannot move the RR bikes at all while airborne even though IRL you can, not a lot but some. Hauling *** on your bike over bumps, which 85% of all off-road courses are and you can’t steer away from trees, but if ya slow down your time will be garbage. Needs to be fixed.

    They really ruined RR a while ago... The bumpy camera makes me seasick, the handling is horrible, bikes are no longer competitive, Bayou is unplayable with bikes now, ...

    But they don't care...

    It’s a shame, rally raid on my BMW R1200GS used to be my favorite thing In the game, now it’s absolute garbage that I cringe when forced to do.

    Most RR vehicles suffer from catastrophic understeer anyway, leaving them undriveable most of the time. They require a highly-critical update to their handling. Same goes for RX, TC and AGP.

    Only the recently added RR vehicles - starting with the F-150 Raptor Ghost Recon - perform better because they use a new handling model.

    Why hasn't the new handling been added to all other disciplines, they seem to be razor sharp when it comes to updating street race but other disciplines dont even get mentioned in the same breath, typical ivory tower focus one 1 thing whilst others get left behind, what made this game great from the start was the other 15 disciplines out of 16 now its a glorified been there and played it street racing game, rally raid and touring car including alpha gp are some of the most underrated disciplines in this game or any racing arcade style game and i genuinley feel sorry for new players who buy this game and see that 'oh there is so many disciplines i want to try and play those' only to realise that so much shift and focus has gone to street races once all other disciplines and there associated events have been completed, ' i want to try touring car races outside their respective circuits' oh **** they only have added 1 new touring car race from 2019 Serial Jumpers which is embarrassing,
    'I want to play more Alpha GP races' they only have 9 out of over 200 events so i can't play anymore and have to grind the same 9 races.

    You can see where this game is heading and how fast is started going downhill with blazing shots update..
