Yeah, I was surprised to be honest!
Before doing track days at Cadwell Park I used to fire up Project Cars and do a couple of laps just to remind myself of the order and camber of the corners (it’s a very complex track), but that didn’t feel realistic at all … Dirt 4 does, even though the stages aren’t real, which is ironic
About a year ago I picked up a copy of Dirt 4 for very little money and put it on the side to play later (it appears that rally games drop in price when they no longer feature the latest cars).
One of the environments it features is Tarragona in Spain, which is where I live. Having actually started playing it I can say that the modeling and course design for my home stages is absolutely spot on - I live in a small village halfway up a small mountain which is often used for the WRC, and the stages really do feel like my daily commute.
The car handling, progression, team management stuff, etc, is good - with the variable difficulty settings it's very accessible to casuals like me :-)
At about 3/4 completion I'd give it top marks, and I'm enjoying it a lot more than the more simulation oriented rally games.

No mention of Snowrunner, for shame!
(which I’ll be going back to after I’ve finished Dirt 4, which is also awesome)
