Dirt Rally 2.0 Cross Platform Championship 5: Groundhog day

Woohoo Disturboed back in the mix

So nobody opted for the Porsche - like Kieran says it's unforgiving but very quick if you keep a handle on it!
Also interesting these cars ended up being typically ~5% (<20s per stage) faster than the H3 class, I thought there would be a bigger difference - perhaps should have started off in H2 RWD instead Guess because they are not the nimble little chassis' we normally see in loose surface rally and the H3 still have respectable P/W ratio.

I wondered if something happened to you on the last stage. Well done edging into 2nd for the round and overall despite that though. Cheers mate. I will try to remember to record a replay sometime this season and post it up. Any preferences for camera angles?

In the mean time there's a handful I recorded in Dirt Rally 1 here:

he runs with hud off, co-driver off, and screen off
it's all done via force feedback and muscle memory

Lol actually do run with HUD off. A few critical corners stand out in my memory but I still rely heavily on the pace notes, there's way too many turns and variations (surface degradation, track width, undulations, camber and weather) to commit to memory - what I do find is you develop a general feel and comfort with how the pace notes relate to surface conditions and track limits at each location. This leads to improved composure which lends itself to pushing the go pedal harder

It's the old case of composed entry, fast exit. Do your braking early. Corner on the throttle and use available track width as much as possible.

Much preferred this car to the last (used the lancer this time)
Went well in stages 1-5 with no major issues
then stage 6 was going ok until the following heart-stopping moments

Great times guys. Especially stage 4 there's only a 16s spread so far, and up until then I'm juust fending off @Kieran_B33 - pity you binned it mate would have been close overall This combo seems to level the field so going to be very interesting to see how it all shapes up!

Gave myself a couple of stages to warm up, then got a replay as requested @Slambobagan - from Stage 3 (Ocean Beach Sprint Reverse) . Unfortunately I didn't select the correct sound device so there's music instead "Keep on Pushing" by an NZ group seemed appropriate!

Experimenting with the control input overlay. Some refinement needed. And a green screen glitch in there too but took about 100 minutes to process in the video editor so, she'll be right as-is mate.... Offers little insight for anyone looking to going faster with times being so close this event and newcomer @Boogey being the man to beat (well done) , but a good trial run, hope you enjoy it anyway

so you are human
well done @Boogey
