  1. He needs to realise he's driving for a team, not himself.  You'd think he'd realise that its better to loss 10 seconds than loss a wheel.  Breen really showed maturity.  His attitude was perfect toward the rally.  He knew he had a disadvantage in the dry open stages but didn't overdrive it to 'try' to keep up.

  2. Im hopeful that this year will be more of a mixed bag.  

    All of the cars displayed merits & pace at Monte at different points on the rally.  If that continues throughout the year, the Championship won't be the usual foregone conclusion.

    I would be of the opinion that Citroen have the weakest driver line up of the bunch. :(

  3. Whilst driving on the road section between Gap and Monaco, Kris Meeke and Paul Nagle's Citroën C3 WRC was hit by another vehicle. With the rear right-hand wheel damaged, the car was unable to continue driving and so the crew has been forced to retire from what is proving to be a decidedly unpredictable Rallye Monte-Carlo.

    Tomorrow, Stéphane Lefebvre and Gabin Moreau will therefore be the sole representatives of the Citroën Total Abu Dhabi World Rally Team. Meanwhile, Craig Breen and Scott Martin will be looking to hold onto their fourth place overall.

    As the Mirror states, the guy fell from a hillside.  

    Nothing has been suggested that Paddon actually hit him.

    French papers state he fell, suffered a heart attack & was airlifted to Nice hospital where he passed away
    That would mean that the photographer next to the road wasn't the victim then because that would mean that he somehow had to teleport into the hillside and fall down.
    I actually thought it looked more like a tripod & bag at the roadside, but the internet has concluded that it was a badly placed photographer who was mauled by a group b car, so it must be true....

    Being a controller user, playing on a wheel at codies the other month I was amazed by how the wheel reacts to the game, and how genuine it behaved. It really felt like an actual rally car
    Hmm. FFB on loose surfaces is ok/good. On tarmac it's much too vague.
    The way the the wheel returns to the center during transitions isn't really fast enough imo.

    However, you might have played something else to what we currently have ;)
    Turn your Self Aligning Torque up & your wheel & tyre friction way down.  Makes a world of difference

    You can tune that though.  My wheel FFB settings are far from out-of-the-box

  7. It's definitely very playable on a controller, and you can be very quick, but you will get more out of it on a wheel! Wish I had the space for one in my room, I'd definitely get one sorted!
    I completely agree, but it's like comparing Stereo to Surround sound.  There are just more channels of usable feedback & dimension that can be transmitted by a wheel that a controller just has no facility to produce.  

    Tune into that & you should be quicker by default

    I used to really enjoy the immersion of using dashcam with DR, but with a single monitor, it was restrictive and not as fast as bonnetcam.

    id quite like to give VR a go, but I'm xb1 now, so that might be unlikely 
    Are you playing on a wheel on XB1 or a controller? Because you are an absolute mile ahead of me on most stage times! Then again, I do t play an awful lot as I've been trying not to learn the stages as best as I can, I prefer relying on the co-driver
    I'm on a Logitech wheel.  My cousin plays with a controller and to be fair to him, is always lightning quick on racing games.  He can equal my times in Germany where the car has predictable grip, but he's 5-15 secs behind nearly everywhere else.

    the FFB on DR is that good that I'd safely say it's an unfair advantage to wheel users.  The way it communicates what the car is doing, is immense!
