Don't forget about 200% feedback mode. To enter, you stand up, spin around three times while saying Hail Marys, sit back down and press R3+Select+Right Paddle while pressing the brake pedal, rubbing your belly, and patting the top of your head at the same time. To go back you kick your dog as hard as you can and scream at the top of your lungs, "I HATE FETA CHEESE!!!!" three times.
I used to rally (SCCA, not WRC) and we had to train all the time. Our bodies had to be in really good shape.
2 reasons. You have to be in good shape because you are constantly trying to withstand the g forces and the bouncing around. You have to wrench the wheel when your tires have gotten caught in a rut. Etc.
Reason two is the better shape you are in the less effort it takes to do the above, which means you can spend more concentration mentally on your driving.
I would be upset if it wasn't slightly hard to "whip" the wheel around in gt4.
The physics are great...................................for a videogame.
Nothing is really right in videogames when if comes to rally. But GT4 is pretty good.
I must admit despite it lacking the proper rally 'feel' (no co-driver, directions, arrows etc) the GT rally series has always been quite good, but real life rallying is, as you would expect, a very physically challenging sport anyway, so to clone it in as real a manner as possible is going to make the player's job difficult, i find the DF3 even a challenge sometimes on long races round, say the grand Canyon on Prologue...
Speaking of rallying, i havent done a single rally race. I've tried all sorts of rally cars and theres ALWAYS an infringement on everyone, and i can't read Chinese so i can't figure it what it is..........unless everyone of my rally cars doesnt have rally tyres?
Can't help you there yet gtaddict, but translation was one of many reasons why i didn't choose to import GT4, I hope they haven't made the entry to those races too confusing, that's the last thing we need, another GT2 style mess. In GT2, you could only enter the turbo race with a NA car and vice versa.... how obscene...

Ah i see, so rally cars don't automatically come with the right tyres.... sneaky, and erm ksaiyu, isn't it about time you changed the text under your username?
^^that's me too. I tried 1 ice license test with my DFP for 2 hours, finally got sick of it and used my DS2 - golded in 3 tries, and that was my first time using the DS2 on GT4. Putting the wheel in 200 degree mode helped, but it still wasn't enough for me.
I had the same problem with the Logitech DFP, constantly crashing on rally stages, but after many many hours of practice, I have "mastered the wheel." Only from this perspective I can tell you, the DS controller does not provide you with the subtle control need for fast rally times.
One technique that must be addressed is throttle control. In rallying you turn a car not only with the steeing wheel but with the accelerator. You hardly ever need to lock the wheel fully, infact you hardly need more than 360 degrees of turn. This is mainly because as the car starts to turn, an increase in throttle will turn the car more. Using this with some very smooth and "brisk" couter-steering, you will find that you can "High-Speed-Drift" your way around the Grand Canyon.
I'm used to drift control from playing LFS and RBR, so drift control in in rallying is a piece of cake. Is it just me or do the cars in RBR have more grip?
i had the same problem.... and I just UNPLUGGED THE AC ADAPTER
thus turning off the FORCE FEEDBACK...
made it possible for me to flick the wheel ultra fast in any direction I wanted ......
and GT4 REALLY SHOULD HAVE HAD AN OPTION FOR FORCE FEEDBACK ON OR OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting. I just can't drive my wheel without FF, it just feels weird and wrong for me. As for rallying - I'll do as I do in GT4P - set to 200° mode and fire away, because 900° mode in rallying is just torture and is pointless. Just take a look at any in-car video of a today's rally car during driving. There is nothing close to 900°.

you dont have to turn the full 900° to max lock with the DFP in WRC cars, right? so 900 mode is not useless and is smoother than 200 mode. 👍 and even in stock cars with rally tires, I dont understand whats so hard about having to turn a bit more.
that must make you feel a bit awkward...
