Unlocking classic cars is pure sci-fi, especially driving and winning with quads.
Driving quads is too unpredictable and stressing. And the grind for unlocking classic cars is pure agony.

Agreed, winning every event five times in different vehicle classes is a chore.

And is that true that the classic vehicles are unlockable only in the Sport mode while Professional mode offers no such rewards? It would be very, very, very disappointing.

Rewards should be available for all mode, I have no idea who's idea it was to put it to only Sports mode, but it was a bad idea.

Correct.

Alright, then I guess I'm not going to play this game anymore until devs change this decision :D I'd love to unlock Citroen DS 23 but Sport mode is ridiculous.

Ah, I've unlocked two of the reward vehicles already after 17.5 hours. The quads are ok to drive but you have to tweak the options settings for controllers and then tighen the steering.

Somehow I can't win qualification race with the quad, despite driving perfectly (just lower tyre pressure) and overtaking nearly every IA in corners. But starting last and having 120kmh max speed (8.0 score) while they zoom past you at 150 is depressing. Sports mode isn't even that fun and I just want that damn 205

Also @Devs please lower level requirement of Simulation mode. It is quite a grind to unlock it. Lowering it to either 15 or at max 20 would be better I think. (took me 6-8 hours to get to level 20, about double that to get to 25 :( ).
Having a lot of fun with the Dakar long stages now that they are unlocked though, this is the true Dakar experience, its a shame its locked behind such a huge grind wall. Please patch!

Also agree that Rewards should be in every mode. I assume they are not because the events are different from Sport to Professional to Simulation (though the game doesn't tell you this).
Perhaps in Professional assign the same vehicles to events in the same map spots and if they are unlocked in one mode, unlock them in the other mode as well. But I do see the design and technical issue though, hopefully the devs can find a decent compromise in a future patch.

And yeah, it is too much of a grind tbh to bother with it anyway. Maybe drop the requirements to unlock the vehicles to winning with a couple categories instead of all of them, or even better, add specific unlock requirements per event (for example winning with a specific team, or placing first in all stages, or finishing the event with total time lower than X, or not taking more damage than X amount in the entire event, or not repairing the vehicle for the entire event, etc.)

Another Reason not to buy thx for the info.

Really needs to be in the other modes, Sport is just a nightmare with Keyboard controls and constantly banging into other trucks/getting crashed into.
