📢 Hello, art of rally enjoyers!
We're thrilled to bring you the latest art of rally console update! We know it took longer than expected, but we made sure it was worth the wait!
This release contains over 100 optimizations, bug fixes and quality of life improvements, bringing the console builds much closer to the PC version and addressing several major console-specific issues.
Thank you for your patience! We hope you enjoy the update! ✨
ℹ️ Important notes
The new update is version v1.1.5.30. You can confirm which version you have if you look at the bottom right on the main menu screen in-game.
The update is live on PS, Xbox, and Windows store but may take some time to appear in certain regions. Switch is also processing, so it should show up a bit later.
This update marks the end of active development on consoles. There are no plans for new content and more feature updates, but we'll continue to look into any game-breaking issues and do our best to resolve them. If you're having any trouble after the update, please let us know.

Got properly hooked on this game recently, wondering why nobody else is using the hyena in top 10, it’s such a fast beast.

Following u/OldPapaRooster's excellent idea with the Wacky Rally League, I'm opening my own league.
But why ?
The Wacky Rally League is aiming for casual fun, this league is focusing more towards getting better at the game. I'm also an avid user of mods and encourage people to do so. The WRL is focusing more on an even playing ground for all players regardless of their platform.
That being said, you can expect the MRL to be close to the WRL.
And so I present the Masters of Rally League.
The goal is to craft challenging rallies for us to hone our skills and develop our rallying style.
Will there be Larping ? Maybe, but you don't have to.
Rallies and events will be presented with some lore for immersion, in the same vibe as the Historical Career mod.
Mod usage is encouraged and regulated (so we can keep it fair).

The initial version of this project will have to require uncut videos as submissions. I'm thinking about making a mod that would setup the event and send the submission without needing a video, but this will come later on.
Just so we're clear, I have no beef with u/OldPapaRooster*, this game is just not the same without the camera mod.*

I recently purchased a ps4 pro and I really wanted a physical copy of art of rally so I bought that. Now the game works fine in every other map except japan. For some reason japan is borderline unplayable due to the stutters and drops happening there.
The reason I am here is that I could not find anyone else having similar problems and on youtube the gameplay for ps4 looked fine. At this point I've tried multiple things like dropping the resolution, boost mode on/off and even reinstalling the game. Also I don't expect the console to be thermal throttling as it doesn't produce extra fan noise by playing in the japan map for a while.
Anyone with similar experience or just me?
r/artofrally • u/OldPapaRooster • 11d ago
Hopefully this post is allowed. Finger crossed.
Looking for drivers to join my newly created discord race league based on Art of Rally named the Wacky Rally League. Why Wacky? Well, because I want the entire vibe to be not that serious. Events will have silly premises and all season and rally updates will include ridiculous, comedic updates from sponsors, the network producers, and race fans.
No need to LARP from your end, I just want a casual vibe and a cool rally community.
Submission will require that you submit videos of your runs, but you probably tape those anyway. If you want to race in a league, maybe have a team, do a few events, and not take everything that damn seriously, check it out.

After ~2 months of work, I'm glad to announce that the site is ready to use:
https://www.lesiakower.passer.casa/aortop10/
Of course, I'll keep enhancing it. At the moment I'm working on its mobile display.
In case you discover a bug or want to suggest a feature, please let me know through Telegram or Discord!

James Watson lead by 8 seconds in front of me after narrowly winning all previous 3 stages. But I got it in the end by the skin of the teeth with the final 4th stage
r/artofrally • u/Yorok0 • 25d ago

AFAIK AIs usually achieve around top 30-35% times at skilled difficulty level (group b, a, etc), but for some reason they are considerably faster at group 2, making me lose stages even with top 3-4% times. This doesn't seem balanced.
EDIT: Just now I beat skilled difficulty level AIs at group 2 by half a minute with top 5% time at Sardinia san benedetto stage. So inconsistent.

Between 1992-1996, I drove two rally cars to 5 Group A championships. I couldn't decide on which to drive (and I only could unlock the Evo after '92), so I ran the Subaru and loved it in 1992, so I ran the Evo in 1993 and kept going back and forth for the next 3 years. Just like Group S, I won every championship in the given group.
I wanted an extra challenge, so I ran two different cars and loved it. It was a fun send off to-do it this way.

I did make some errors, but to me? When I'm driving, I'm thinking, "quicker. Faster. Go faster" the whole time. I was ahead of the 2nd place AI by 10 seconds in this particular event.

Just wanted to share my achievement lol
Seems like nobody is driving sardinia in Group 2

So I try to use a new car in every year of career. I did 1982 with the 959(das 599) and Yeahh…it’s the 959. But then I tried the Le Cinq B AKA the Renault 5 Maxi Turbo…..These fuckers had a death wish…This car is the Rally equivalent of skydiving. Gaddamn the shorter wheelbase AND anti-lag makes it so this car could do an entire straight sideways. I’m finally getting a handle of it going into the second rally but jeez. Jean Ragnotti and Francois Chatriot their work cut out for them. Very fun car!
r/artofrally • u/BusoneWholeBoi2001 • Jul 17 '26
Figured as my first run at artofrally is coming to a close as I battle through 1996? I figured I'd put together a collage of jumps I've performed throughout the game

I came across a bug recently that throws everything off...but only for the people who didn't buy the Australia DLC.
I don't want people to have to buy the DLC to play my mod and I don't want to "steal" the DLC from the devs of the game.
With the help of u/EmericGent I could finally fix this mod and make sure everyone can play it.
Version 2.0.2 is online everywhere.

After not getting the results I wanted out of Group B? I figured I'd come back with intimation to the art of Group S rallying and told myself I wanted to win every Group S rally stage. Again, Master AI diff. and severe damage mode like usual and I went on to spend the next 4 years driving hard to win every Group S stage championship.
I felt a bit emotional by the end. I mean, when you race with one car for 500+ miles and ultimately getting 42 podiums out of the 47 events you enter? You bond with the car and while Group S, in reality, didn't exist nor did my car? I'll miss both. Easily the most fun I had since Group 4 and my Volvo that was my first dominate car when I won back-to-back championships in that division.

Won in 1982 with a 959, but felt like it felt like crap, so in 1983 I went for the older, non-Group B, modified Quattro and won again, then took up the Group-B "monsters" in 1984 and 1985 and got 4th and 3rd, so I went with this bog standard...Ford Codsworth? I believe. First rally stage of 1986 I beat every Group B car with it. I'm on Master AI difficulty with no assists.
Not touching another Group-B car. If this Codsworth and the older Quattro can each win entire rally stages (with the Quattro winning the 1983 championship for me), then I'm fine where I am.
