I made a really nerdy video of me with a G27 and Richard Burns Rally. I took my GoPro and put it on my motorcycle helmet and raced like that - I think it gives a neat perspective. I used 960 to get more viewing angle but its hard to see the road. Turned out ok I think.

Was that the first time you played the stage? Did you give yourself one recce lap?

And is it really all taken in pretty much 1 gear? Can't remember if RBR supports sequential shifter mode.

Its not the first time, but the last time I played was a year ago so I don't remember anything.

I used paddle shifters because the G27 doesnt have a sequential mode, only the H pattern.

I see. I couldn't tell if you were shifting with the paddles. My G25 had one of the Logitech shifters had a switch to go from H to sequential, so I assumed the G27 did, too.

This might be old, but it's a documentary on the Turbo era of F1. And not a modern one, and old doc with slow pacing. The racing car designer with ties and the woodworkers who carve the castings from Brazilian mahogany get plenty of time. Part 2 in related vids.

Yep, that video plus the reminder that it and Mobil 1 Rally Champ. are two of the best rally games made me search out my disc of RBR. When I couldn't find it I bought it again on some uk download site and am now in the process of downloading it so I can revel in the insanity that is RBR.

I took another video. This time with no recce lap, first time on the stage, no visual pacenotes, and sequential shifting. Turned out better!

I enjoyed it but not as much as the first one. It felt more like a commercial for Audi than the original did. Plus the best part of the first was the interaction between Howden Haynes, McNish and Kristensen, and since their car crashed out so early they're barely in it.

That car rolled with so much energy, that they might have slipped out of the belts. The seat belts in passenger cars aren't exactly comparable to a real racing harness.
