Part 2 of the preview goes into a bit more detail on the physics and

Again, they wuss out and make it wider. Nobody will ever do it correctly.
Rally stages, are ***Y TIGHT. Rally Championship, was perhaps the only
sim that ever attempted to create realistic rally stages. Even the sims who
say they want to make the stages feel accurate, they always fail. It's
always 25% too large compared to real-life rally stages.

It depends on where you live - I guess that you're British. I've lived in
England for 5 years, and am still surprised by how narrow your B roads are.
I was a club level rally driver in Australia for 10 years, and I can assure
you that the typical forest or small country road is wide enough to do a U
turn.
This is one of the reasons (the other being cost) that I haven't taken up
rallying here. I'm used to RWD cars and heaps of oversteer, and your roads
just aren't wide enough for me to enjoy this. Of course its a matter of what
you're used to, but I don't have any problem at all with a good compromise
(combination of narrow and wide stages).
One common complaint about Rally Championship was that the stages were too
narrow. On one hand, I appreciated the realism, but on the other hand I
wasn't able to do many scandos.
RBR is being marketed as a "realistic game", not as a sim, so I think that
having realistic physics with enjoyable wide stages is a good compromise.
On the motorway it's safer to drive fast, hence the higher speedlimit.
(duh!)

ah well, maybe there's a realism patch that scales up the car size by 50%.

We should start a thread about this on the BHMS forum since the
developers read that. Nothing mean spirited, but just to point out
that the tracks and cars aren't in scale with each other. If it's
done without being rude, they might take it seriously.

Sounds to me like they're aiming squarely at the simulation market,
which is good news all around.
