Yeah, don't be afraid to just fill every mechanic slot you have with the 32k+ credit guys, you'll realise just how cheap they are when you're past Clubman. Also, as soon as you can, skip the '70s and '80s cars, go straight for the Type B 4WD cars. They're so much easier and let you focus on learning lines rather than having to fight the back end constantly nudging ahead. The '60s Austin Mini is a great car for learning the ropes, though.

bUm posted:10/10; would not recommend taking an unupgraded Group B RWD on Germany. I was getting better at managing it later in the runs though, maybe it'll click for me today when I'm fresh (although I'm very confident that I could tune away the instability if I had advanced tuning unlocked).

I had a crash on this run so I bet I could shave at least 5 seconds off this time. How come are you guys getting such bad times on this stage?

When you're finally getting the hang of the 4WD cars, do yourself a favour and get in the Lancia Stratos to ease into RWD.

One thing I like about the upgrades is that they help you relax when you're just easing into a new car.

Hey uh, I wanna know if the overlay on this recording looks alright and you seem like the people to ask. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rear end-u91TNhM Thoughts? I'm thinking of making the triggers bigger, face buttons smaller and putting the whole thing on the left where it won't get in the way of the accelerometer.

This is the first time I've fiddled with settings. I immediately improved my previous best by 13 seconds on my first attempt, and then by a further 17 seconds for that attempt.

Or even just "crest" and suddenly in the air for whatever distance. *bump* right three *understeer off the edge* tightens I've been stuck in Greece trying to navigate the Audi Rallye through it for a month now and it's downright sadistic.

My favourite part of how this game penalises you is that a flat tire is worth at least 6 human lives.

Hi. I made a thread in LP for people who are super new to this game. Like, really really new to it, because I felt that Dirt Rally doesn't do a good enough job explaining itself to new players. So, this is me trying to bridge that gap. I've already got the next episode lined up, but if you have any suggestions on topics or cars to cover, shoot.

Not sure if they mentioned this in the patch notes, but they doubled the tyre durability.

# ¿ Apr 7, 2016 12:32 |
They handle that in two different stats. One for tyres getting punctured and another for tyres getting blown. Thing is, harsh landings could do either depending on a whole number of random factors, so it wasn't all that realistic.

Yeah, it's in one of the Germany stages. Pacenotes are all recorded on a per-stage basis so they can do one-off poo poo like that.

See, first you talk to Porsche and they laugh in your face before giving you a flat "no" and then you go next door to the RUF offices and they'll kit you out.
