Dirt Rally 2.0 Cross Platform Championship 4

Lots of close times this event! Well done all

I started using controller instead, and finally got my s#!t together as you can see in stage 3 and 4 by being only 25 and 28 secs off the lead instead of my usual few minutes lol

with the way my skin is, my hands get sore too quickly playing dirt, because you are constantly correcting, and the force feedback is always going.
With controller, yes you can catch it quicker and make those tiny adjustments easier.

TBH I used to be VERY good on keyboard would you believe it lol
One of my sister-in-laws favorite stories to tell is walking into my room to see me and my brother (her husband) who is 17 years older than me playing colin mcrae rally 2 player lan.
Me on keyboard, and him on wheel.
She explains the look of frustration on his face (because I am beating him with one hand on the keyboard and one propping my head up) and she asks "are you having fun?" and he answers with an angry grunt "YES"

shout out to @gominiman for being such a gracious loser in the early days (although he gets his own back at karting now)


Full disclosure, I did have a knack for cutting entire sections of course, through a Forrest, without touching a tree...

practice??? you're not doing the stages in the same combo before setting your official time are you?

lol each to there own, but I treat it differently. You don't get to drive the course first and then attempt the rally as it should be about reacting and making those judgement calls without the benefit of knowing what is coming IMO

I do zero practise. But this is evident in my times.
I just rock up and have some fun.
Controller user too.

I'm all for it, but the main reason IMO hardcore damage is off, is so that even with major mistakes, we can still have a go at the following stages. We won't be competitive in the times, due to the massive time loss of having to do roadside repairs or limping home in a stage but we can still enjoy the rest of the rally.
I messed up last week in the first 2, but then was able to have a go at the final 2 even though I still finished way down the order
