^--- what do the ppl who play dirt rally think ? is it slow or good? i botched 2 hairpins but it mostly looks pretty slick at least. the cars unupgraded as well
I'm not super good at this game or anything but that looks fairly fast and clean, certainly faster than what I can do, especially with that car, and I'm at least decent. V. nice.

Just started playing this last night and it's a blast, pulling off a good run is so rewarding.

I like the 60s cars a lot but when i try the more modern cars im like flying out of control and sliding everywhere, it really lets you appreciate how much skill goes into that

I'm kind of hoping not all the RWD cars handle like the Alpine, it's so touchy. It felt like I was driving on ice when I started using it.

the alpine also has its engine in the back so most of the weight is in the rear. im not sure if any of the other rwd cars are RR but most of them will be FR or MR which means they should be easier to control. but on the other hand they all have 3x the power of the alpine

I was actually driving on rain slick :) But I've used it a few times now in different conditions and it's always, like, if I mis-nudge the car a little I can easily swerve or spin out. Took some getting used to.

I also want to use the mini more but I hate being a driver on the right side. Anyone know if there's a way to switch the cockpit over to the left?

im getting better pretty quickly, this run puts me at about rank 145, about 8 seconds down on WR. i wasnt grinding it out though, im just playing through career mode normally for now while i learn all the techniques and unlock all the cars

if i could do the scandanavian flick i could probably save a lot of time, instead i just drove it sort of like a road track lol. which i guess it is. i also cheated a little bit :twisted:

I think you gotta give yourself a bit more time to react. Go slower. You might even gain a second or two on that run.
