But seriously I eventually learned how sharp the turns would be from the map in the middle of my screen after a couple tries (and knew how much i should break). Also the AI usually bugs out half the time........ I was able to pass all 3 AI cars a couple of times on the snow and dirt rallys.
That co-driver is an idiot! The pace notes are way late for every corner and why did PD have to make every corner blind? I sure hope I can run the tarmac portion again with racing soft tires as the first time thru was with sport hard (big mistake). I thought I was driving the Lotus at Top Gear again!!....lol...Ride hard, shoot straight and always speak the truth!....
Don't even bother with co driver - although the 7 right/left lets me know to floor it right through the corner.
Use your mini map, son. If you're using 345 HP STIs/Evos and slick tires for tarmac and respective tires for snow and gravel, shouldn't be hard at all. Make sure traction control is completely off. Not even 1, I mean OFF.
Just brake early and you'll have them 3-5 seconds ahead of the game, easy.
All the aids are off. Got the STI setup with "sport softs" and still pushin really bad in the "blind" corners. Did I mention I despise all the blind corners? I have spent a lot of hours rallying on Dirt 2 and the physics are really diff here. .......Rant over...
I am sucking bit time at the gravel events... in very tight turns my revs fall down and the car almost stop... why is that? it is like I lose all the momentum, I've tried to brake early (smooth is faster, right?), and I have improved but still I suck at the hairpins... is it necessary to use the hand brake? because I am not using it due to the difficulty to map keys in my G27....
I never used handbrake either.. and if you want a cheaper solution: win the sebastian loeb rally experience first to net a nice WRC car for the intermediate event (just don't tune it up). If you want the cheapest solution, set the skid recovery force to on, indeed your car will almost come to a stop in the hairpins then but that's only because you entered them too fast and would spin out horribly without it.
Be warned tho: using the skid recovery and the wrc car it might be too easy..
I don`t like the physics either, they seem "wrong" to me!
I have spent alot of money to win those lvl 15 rallys. Subaru Impreza with all weight reduction upgrades, several upgrades to push it to 257kw (258kw are allowed) and soft sport tires which are important for the toscana stage.
And all availible wings from GT Auto for sure.
And I was so pissed after noticing I can`t use this car at lvl 20 challenges.
I bought the Impreza very early just to have one and always thought i am gonna make a maxed out rally car out of it. But now... it`s not worth buying a official rally car for about 850.000 Cr just to master the last 3 stages.
