WRC3

Update - cannot do the other stage without hitting every other barrier, though the Fiesta seems more balanced to me. I'll be interested to see other's pace.

La Mussara

4:26.66 - Ian

Road to Glory

1:14.51 - Ian

The handling Is very demanding. Wonder how more accurate can be, when altering the car set up options :)
I am having some hard times finding a good rhythm-Strugggling to get under 4:50!!!
No doubt, at the moment It's the most simlike rally game In the gaming business!

4:31.12 - First time I've played the game when not drunk. Would definitely like to be able to change the brake bias, it's way to skittish under braking.

Managed a 4:24.77 with a bit more practice.

Actually quite impressed. The stage seems like a good length and good design (there's some lovely flowing bits through Mussara), the handling is tricky but not so as to frustrate you, the pacenotes seem to be pretty accurate (one of my biggest complaints about DiRT3 is that the pacenotes aren't good enough for you to rely on them, you need to watch the map thing). The engine sounds are bad but not as bad as it first seemed from the videos, you can sort of put up with that because the rest of the game seems quite good.

My best time so far 4:42:11 but haven't played much to be honest :p :

Just managed to pull a 4:23.69 out the bag.

Did you guys notice that there's an auto-braking thing that's on by default? Really annoys me when games have that, really basic stuff like that should only be in as an option for kids to turn on if they're struggling, not something that's a default setting.

I think that around 4:20 is possible for La Mussara but I really couldn't beat 1:14 on the Road to Glory one. I am struggling with the brakes massively and not got any rhythm. But as you rightly say Jan, the Mussara stage has some great sections, especially on the gravel. Good length too. Looking forward to the full game.

edit: good effort Jan - I'll have another shot later to see if I can get there!

Haha with the end of the other Sim championships on here I make the most of any competition there is!

I will post my run when I get home tomorrow, haven't played the game for a couple of days now.
I am sure the car will be even more drivable when we can alter the brake bias, the power distrubution, the suspension and maybe the differentials.
