Lancia vs maxed Porsche Dakar is bad comparision. Ofc maxed car will win in Snow when ETB is at its strongest.
Just because we know about ETB doesn’t make this a bad comparison at all. The title of the thread is “unbelievable results”, which this is based on the card stats.
maybe since Hutch is working on a ETB fix, they could use some of these results to show us the results of the change, whatever that is.
Its not unbelievable if it is game feature when maxed upgrades of engine provides traction bonus accordingly. And its difference is ~1 handling point. And 0-60 difference has less impact in heavy offroading than on dry asphalt.

And thumbs up for "Disagree".
I suppose I’m arguing that it’s not a game feature, they snuck something in as a fix and it causes problems. You won’t find it explained in the help section! Let’s not split hairs about whether it’s a good example when we both believe it’s ****.

It is important to understand the impact of Rolling Start and poor traction on a 0-60. With the Rolling start having a low 0-60 is not going to help as much), but the off-road one is a bit more subtle. Because of the poor conditions, the cars can’t get their power down, they can only go as fast as traction allows. You can see when a car is doing this because the orange triangle appears above it. 4WD/off-road tires have a lot of traction, but even they struggle in the snow. That means that two cars with the same traction (e.g. both 4WD/off-road tires) will be limited to the exact same acceleration up to 35mph.Their performance then depends on their acceleration from 35mph. The S4 Rally has much worse 60-100 MRA (61) than cars mentioned above, which is why it's losing.

I don't get it, the shown examples were not "rolling start".

So you are basically saying the low 0-60mph is worth nothing? Also since when did MRA become important on Hairpin Road?
Other than that 30 MRA less than it's contender the S1 seems strange to me, but that's already in Review I guess and who am I to judge.

This sounds perfectly plausible in game, although IRL it didn’t have these issues. But the elephant in the room is: why does the S4 have such poor MRA anyway?

So the cars that are specifically dizened to perform in real life under this "poor" conditions , in game they are nerfed like "normal" cars.

The rolling start was used as an analogy (yes I did ask the team, wasn't my own words).
Low traction takes out the advantage of 0-60 in the cases above. If you can't get traction, having a low 0-60 doesn't help.
MRA is calculated from the time to 60mph and 100mph, based on the stats which are given to us by a third party. If there's a problem, it's going to be looked at in the next big car update!
It’s quite a difficult one to get the stats and performance right I think as IRL it’s going to perform better on gravel than tarmac but as we know, IG off road tyres don’t perform too well on that surface and the stats and RQ are based on dry tarmac. 🤷🏻♂️

Thanks for the responses Dmitri. I've stressed before (to the previous Community Manager) and I will stress again with you the importance of not referring to MRA except in very specific instances, as this leads to confusion and ultimately misinformation. What you are referencing in this instance is the actually 60-100 acceleration time for the two cars being discussed (the Delta S4 Rally and the Delta HF Integrale Evo). The S4 is in fact not slower in 60-100 acceleration, 3.85s compared 4.23s for the HF Integrale Evo). Perhaps when the team has more team to devote to this we could get a better understanding for the reason for the race results. We really appreciate your regular interaction and willingness to get answers.
Did anyone else noticed that lancia delta s4 has traction problems eaven on dry asphalt? Nobody seems to mention that here. I find it wierd since chiron sport or any other car that i have with low 0-60 doesnt behave like that. It is like this lancia has the old physics applyed to her, similar to what lc2 had pre-tracion ( and many other fast rwd cars ) update. Try to run it on dry hairpin road and you will se the tracion light on every corner.

And its difference is ~1 handling point. And 0-60 difference has less impact in heavy offroading than on dry asphalt.
And thumbs up for "Disagree".

Of course

It is wet asphalt and ETB plays big role. Vauxhall won because it is maxed, while your car is only 1.3

Seems that game engine cant deal with those ultra rally cars in heavy offroad.
How can it be a tie - mine is even slightly lighter:
But I'm sure there have been some debate on this already lol (I probably missed it).
