You have to switch on H-shifter or H-shifter+Clutch in the preferences menu to get the option to bind them in the controller options. I have the handbrake bound to a button on the wheel on opposite side to my shifter (I know, I know, it's not realistic, I'M SORRY!). I've tried using a gated shifter but it made me so much slower I went back to a sequential stick. I'll try it again when I'm better and more confident in my car handling.

The Pikes Peak patch was supposed to happen by the end of May but there hasn't been any definite timeframe announced, so I guess "soon" would be a more accurate date. I wouldn't be surprised if it slipped to early June. Next week would be fantastic though!
I'm betting on next week since the Pikes Peak achievements have been listed to Steam on Friday.

Win an Event at Pikes Peak (Mixed Surface) in the Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak.
It was horrible, the S4 acts like a bulldozer. Plenty fast on the straights though.
But here's my friend driving it:

Absolutely mental.
This is what I love about videogames... they let me do shit I wouldn't dare do in real life. O_O

I got a wheel and I don't know what the hell I am doing.
turn the wheel clockwise to go right
when you've mastered that, we'll move on to left turns
Seriously though it might feel pretty weird to start with, but you should soon be doing much better than you ever did with a controller.
QFT, I was sick to my stomach the first time I played using my G27 (it's not the most expensive wheel out there, pretty cheap infact, but it's still a lot to invest on a whim) feeling I had wasted my money. But after a month on iRacing I was pretty happy with the complete difference in skill cap.

Amazing drive. Stunning skills
Boy, I think I really need to get a racing wheel. It feels like that would be so much more diffcult to pull off on a 360 controller. I might have to borrow one of the 360 racing wheels we have at work.

My vote for the OT thread title whenever that happens.
Not for me. Probably because I was using a controller.
In fact: Made the top cut (barely) for the first time in my life on the daily from it. You wanted to keep it in third gear (50-60MPH) nearly the whole run and minimal slide (which should be easy with it IMO, don't even need a handbrake) around the hairpins. With a controller even.
Drive the 205 first, then try the S4. The 205 actually responds what you do with the steering wheel
For myself, i finished 20th overall 50s behind fastest time.
Honestly, I'm shocked so many of you had problems with that daily. I thought my time was slow, as it generally is in the bottom/mid-tier cut-off times for the dailies. So I dunno how the hell so many people at the bottom were 30(!) mins behind. I mean like... how bad did all you struggle with it?

If you dump it into the ravine you get automatic retirement = shows as 30:00:000
I'm also playing with a Xbox 360 pad and I find the Lancia just as awesome as the Peugeot. I didn't had any problem with it. D:
EDIT: Codemasters just twitted "dance like nobody's watching", with a pic of Pikes Peak. Is it out?! =O

I ended up on 3 wheels and 2:50 off the pace, not bad all things considered. Edit: Almost made it into the top tier :0Honestly, I'm shocked so many of you had problems with that daily.

Wow, so good. I love how they are handling this game and it's updates. Can't wait to try it.
Still not owning this yet, am I wrong in thinking this has some of the (good) aspects of F2P games like daily challenges and such? That's how I'm interpreting what I'm seeing in this thread. It's a good thing, though! Not unlike the challenge system in Driveclub, I would assume.
Daily, weekly and monthly challenges, and there's also the GAF League (plus the career mode and custom events).
You shouldn't be. If you don't know Pikes Peak, you simply don't care enough for this sport, so this game might not be for you.

It's one of the oldest motorsport events:

But all you need to know is that it is considered to be of the greatest driving challenges and should be a huge amount of fun in DiRT Rally.

I've made a bug report on the forum. Can anyone else using a controller test if they get the same weird issue?

They are doing a livestream right now: http://www.twitch.tv/dirtgame
Great, as if the normal courses in the game wasn't already a challenge.
But okay, it's a historic thing like the Fafe in Rally de Portugal. Always good with some new scenery.
Yeah, I agree with you. I was talking specifically about being excited about the Pikes Peak stuff.
EDIT:
That's what I meant. If you don't care enough about this stuff, Pikes Peak is just another venue like any other. It's an amazing course, but nothing to get overly excited aside the historical factor.

SWEET!!!! Can't wait to get home now, I know what I'll be doing all night!
This game really has it's hooks in me tough....

In any rally game I've ever played that had Pikes Peak in it, the course has always been my favorite in the game. I loved it in Dirt 1 and I missed it sorely in Dirt 2. Dirt 1's version is my favorite virtual version of the course. That might change tonight though!!!!!
I just find Pikes Peak terribly fun to run. Oddly enough I've never seen Mt. Washington in a video game that I can remember, and I've no idea why as that's a similar hill climb.
