Wow, that was a great run. (DBO)
I played for a few hours last night. Started a new Clubman championship with the Group B Quattro. I absolutely love this car. It's crazy fast, but it's actually really well balanced and surprisingly easy to drive.
Something I came to realize through this game, which I'd sort of heard hinted at by the former drivers in interviews but hadn't really crystalized for me, is that those cars weren't necessarily hard to drive in the way that people think. It's not that they were too powerful and got away from the drivers. They're actually pretty smooth and controllable, it's just that there's very little time to think because they're moving so fast. Maybe too little for humans. Dirt Rally just made me realize how thin the line is between a good run and not quite reacting fast enough.
I'm also looking forward to getting the Group A Subaru
It's been my favorite of the Group A cars. I'm a Subaru person anyway, but I really do think that one drives the best.
The dirt version is way more fun that fully paved variant though.
Yeah, you can tell those cars were not made with pavement in mind. They don't like paved hairpins.
I just can't get into it (or get good at it, I guess). I hate the FWD cars--they're just no fun to drive.
I thought the Minis were OK, but that next class up is just lame. Too much power for FWD and it's nothing but understeer all the time. If I could just skip them and go to the AWD "supercar" class I'm sure I'd do better there.
On the normal rally side, the F2 kit cars are also FWD but I think they're super fun.
