GRRL! SUMMARY:

  • The 1980 Audi Quattro Group 4 marks MICHÈLE MOUTON’s historic 1981 Rallye Sanremo victory—the only woman to win an overall WRC event. She nearly claimed the 1982 Drivers’ title, losing to Walter Röhrl by narrow margins.
  • V0.6 introduces three rally icons: the pioneering four-wheel-drive Quattro with turbocharged five-cylinder character, Renato Travaglia’s 1999 Peugeot 206 WRC ‘Enfant Terrible,’ and the 2018 VW Polo GTI R5 in Petter Solberg’s striking launch livery.
  • New photo mode delivers professional-level motorsport photography tools, while custom livery support signals incoming mod compatibility. Private multiplayer lobbies address community frustrations, though single-stage limitations persist in online functionality.
  • Updated tyre thermal modeling and pressure optimization (28 psi asphalt, 32 psi gravel) reshape handling dynamics. Wales and Greece gravel stages receive physics tweaks for realistic stage times, though tyre wear remains unimplemented.
