All of it. He's doing an extremely over the top Finnish rally driver impression and it's clearly fake as gently caress. Still pretty funny, though.

I don't think he's faking it. Have a music video he made few years ago.

He's done some other videos where he speaks English, and while he has a noticeable Finnish accent it's nowhere near as... rallienglanti as in the My Summer Car videos and he doesn't gently caress up the pronunciation of every other word.

I suspect he's just drunk when he's making MSC videos. Either way, he's a magical man and he will truly represent Finland in the most perfect way. :allears:

Yeah, it's way better than the last few. Even though a little part of me thinks that the hillclimb and rallycross elements are a bit of a... distraction from good ol' stage rally, they've managed to keep them all very tight and not arcadey. They're doing a good job.

Now all we need is some TSD and some Baja/Dakar.

IMO Monte Carlo is over-hyped, much like other Monaco based Motorsport events. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMnvPt4oJ68 from about 8:00 is so much more exciting. Its like they paved over a dirt stage the week before the rally...

Yep, Corsica owns. It would be a great asphalt rally in this game just for all the technical, narrow stages where you need every bit of agility you can get.

Edit: In regards to that Peugot 205 video: Holy poo poo that guy is a maniac. He's driving with a wheel right? There's no way that onscreen wheel is accurate, there were a lot of times he almost had his hands to the right and the car would pitch left. Still though, that's insanity.

Do all that, with the roads lined up with fans and the cars running 500+ horses. That way, you'll get the authentic 1985 Group B experience.

I decided I should get my last promotion (Elite to Masters) by getting good at cars, so I will do it on the Lancia 037.

... why did they make this thing, and who did actually drive it on a real road. I usually do better on asphalt and terrible on gravel, with this I died in Germany and did not that bad in Finland, which is usually my most hated event. This car will murder me and I will love every second of it.

Use the handbrake to swing the car more around the tighter corners, that seems to be where most of your time is going because you're taking those very slowly.

It's unlikely that there's gonna be more content updates until the console versions are out at least, once those are out then we'll probably find out whether they're gonna add more to this or move on to whatever the next game is.

I fully expect them to release some paid DLC in terms of car packs and some new stages as free updates.

Yeah, I'd expect a few car packs to flesh out some of the smaller classes but wouldn't be surprised if they made 2 more rallies and maybe more RX circuits paid packs as well.

I have a newfound love and respect for this game after pulling my handbrake through populated stoplight left hand turns today in the grand east coast blizzard.

edit: Also slipping your car around then hitting salted patches and using the sudden yet predictable traction to swing your tail around the other way is good fun I will probably need new tires after all the flatspots I've created. Feels weird drifting for such long distances while only going around 20mph

RWD is the worst in the snow, although maybe more fun than the others.

It doesn't matter which wheels the power goes to as long as you have good winter tires. Also, smiles per gallon is what really matters in a car.

If we do modern 4WD, I'd put in everything from Group A to R4 to latest WRC machines to it. The playing field would be a lot more even and people who don't have the high-end cars can drive R4s as the cheap option.

And I think while the track generator was a good idea and wowed initially, after a week everyone knew the blocks so there wasn't really any advantage to going that route over just having a load of properly designed stages.

Also they didn't have leagues in from the start, which probably did a fair bit of damage as the racing clubs who ran Dirt Rally leagues had no reason to jump over.

I think the best thing to keep things fresh with the track generator is to make new bits for it every update, just to create some variety on landscapes.
