After trying a few of the RWD cars in WRC I noticed that the way they snap after starting a slide feels pretty weird.
The sliding doesn't feel gradual, the car is gripping and suddenly it just wants to go into an unrecoverable slide without much notice.
Messing with the differential settings has helped a fair bit but it still feels awkward.
Rwd default diff lock is too tight I drive most of time all track locks below 20 and some just 10 % I mean drive brake and preloads preloads 5-20 depend how I like drive. Second Come your wheel settings if use all vibratiob suspension etc its messingin your wheel feeling when rear start slipping I use tx base and 330mm rrs wheel settings like thrusmaster drivers all 100 game control centering and boost on then game force are
Self allign torque 55, wheel friction =0, tyre friction =115, suspension =0, tyre slip =0, engine =0 there is sweet spot for me steering wheel feels like real car. Imo suspension engine etc vibration just spoil To feeling what car gonba To do
I found that tweaking the front camber more negative helps with the RWD snapping. I pushed it down a couple of clicks from the default on multiple RWD cars and it helped significantly to reduce the snapping.
After a quick test with update 1.5, the issue is still there. Same behavior as before, loosening the differential helps but the cars still have a tendency to snap every now and then.
I'm starting to think this is intended design or an inherent problem with this physics model/game engine, it's been a problem for too long and I've lost hope it will be solved in this iteration of the game. Maybe for "WRC 2" we'll see this being addressed...
I could post these videos all day long. The real life transition into and out of sliding is so much smoother, and slides are much easier to maintain.
WRC snaps out of grip, the sliding grip is way too low, and it snaps back into grip again. Almost impossible to drive smoothly.

RWD cars (Group B and H3) oversteer much more than in Dirt Rally 2.0 I don't understand why this has been changed
You can reduce the oversteer with some setup settings.
Differentials for Braking and Preload firmer and for Accel more open.
Rear toe angle completely inwards.
Reduce front camber
(If you play with a controller then turn the front toe angle outwards. Don't overdo it on asphalt)
206 WRC has something going on with handling that is not right aswell in some rallies is quite difficult to drive..
I don't know whether a stealth fix was applied in V1.8 but I've definitely noticed the RWD cars are a lot more planted now on tarmac. They do still have some snappiness to them on oversteer, but it feels avoidable or at least more catchable now - unlike before when it was very sudden and unexpected.

I remember in Dirt 2.0 it was more gradual. You could catch a RWD car in slide and make corrections.
The handling in WRC is alot worse than DR 2.0. There is alot of misinformation going around saying it’s better, but its false. WRC is more arcadey and grippy, but it’s less realistic. DR 2.0 was much more realistic.
I guarantee you it is a setup issue, default setup for the RWD cars are horrendous, a little tip to push you in the right direction, you want softer rear springs than front, the car need to be able to shift the weight to the rear for grip, so it needs go be quite soft, and fiddle with the diffs, if its off throttle you're struggling, adjust preload, if its on throttle adjust diff locking % cant remember the exact name of the setting of the top of my head and i am not infront of my computer right now, but hopefully you get which setting i mean. I have WR's in RWD grp b, so think i am doing something right, you also can't just stay full throttle all the time, especially over bumps and dips, RWD cars require a lot more and finer throttle control than say a modern wrc car, or any AWD car really.
I dont wanna share my setup, as i did after all put a lot of time and work into it, but if you need any more pointers i can try to help you out. Good luck 😊
