The GRF Show

Capn Scrub and JoeMVR get together for (astonishingly) the first podcast of 2026. Fokuz couldn't join us for this one. We mostly talk about various clubs in GRF, and the games we run - mostly EA Sports WRC, Assetto Corsa Rally and the growing RBR/RSF community.
We expect to not wait 11 months to do the next episode - hopefully it will be closer to 11 days - with at least 3 of us on the mics.

Joe is joined by Adam (Cap'n Scrub) and Steijn (Shinyo). We've had just over 2 weeks to give ACR a go. We talk about:

What we like
What we dislike
UEVR
Inevitable comparisons to other rally games
A movement led by Global Rally Fans to bring the unified voices of many clubs to Kunos/SuperNova, so that we can tell them what we would relaly like to see in the online Clubs support.
Our own personal wishlists
How we can create competitions during Early Access
What the timeline and roadmap may look like - we speculate here, just one day before Kunos announced that they'll most likely be releasing monthly updates in Early Access, starting December 2025

Denis (Fokuzx2) and Joe catch up a little, talking about Denis' recent trip to Rally Legends. Then we get into the announcement of Assetto Corsa Rally (ACR) from Kunos. We discuss what we've seen so far, our hopes for the game, and how we are being "optimistically cautious". 
Just as we are wrapping up, Cap'n Scrub (Adam) joins the fray. Denis departs, leaving Adam and Joe to talk about ACR all over again.

Joe, Fokuz and Capn Scrub address the EA Sports announcement that we were all dreading. We emphasise that nothing much will change at GRF.
We speculate/fantasise about a future alternative game and discuss the last DLC - Hard chargers.

Joe, Denis (FokuzX2) and Adam (Cap'n Scrub) gather around and vote for their highlights of 2024. We talk about our favourite locations that we think others do not like. Joe tries to piss off Denis for kicks. Scrub politely ignores Joe's attempts to be funny, and Denis is chattier than usual. 
We share what's going on in the club, and we all welcome the addition of our newer admin members. Scrub talks about the new WRZ club, and what an epic feat of effort it is!
Joe promises new championships for Expert Historic clubs and the Special Events club. Remarkably, he followed through between recording and publishing of the episode.

Denis and Joe talk about the clubs theyève been driving. There's speculation about the upcoming 2025 EA Sports WRC DLCs. 
A brief talk about the state of the game now. And of course shout-outs to members of the GRF community.

The GRF boys are back, but something weird is happening...

Denis and JoeMVR talk about the current Special Event, loosely-based on the ARA 2021 championship. Event one is still in progres sif you want to join. Joe recounts some of the drama of the actual season, and then goes on to describe the structure of hte GRF championship, that will run for 8 weeks.
We talk about the JRC and GRF's rocky start to this competition, and possible reasons why.

Joe discusses progress in quality for VR users, thanks to Redditor, LunchFlat6515's efforts to optimise many settings.

We have a few shout-outs to members of the GRF community and wrap up the broadcast.

CapnScrub, Fokuzx2 and JoeMVR get together again, without Shinyo this time. We talk about ScrubClub - how it went in the first season and what to expect for next time.

Denis gives a run down of the Summer Championship and the status of other GRF clubs.

Next we talk about the new EA Sports Roadmap and what we think of it. We speculate about the specifics and then get facetious with talk of EV rally/rallycross cars. I suspect some people are playing Devil's Advocate in the tongue-in-cheek discussion. Denis had to leave early to rub his tongue on something, leaving Scrub and I to finish chatting in his absence.

Joe and Capn Scrub talk about EA Sports WRC, and we find out all about the Capn's new venture - the ScrubClub
