    Talk to anyone in a non WRC car that rally's in RL about jumps of any kind.  Most will tell you they tap brakes before a jump, most cars just can't handle a beating like that, lots of struts going thru the towers and occasionally the hood (bonnet).   

    In RL we wouldn't take the chances and speed that we do in the games, the risk isn't there, no resets in real life.  
    Our car, along with my back, would be ****ed if we took one of those jumps flat out!

    So whose going to Rally GB this weekend then? 
    Sadly not. A mate and I were debating going, but he is now busy and I have work to do, so I'll have to give it a miss. The Tempest last weekend will be my only rally of 2015 (for shame!).

    Look forward to watching some video!
    Didn't know you were at the tempest! We were only that stage 3, wanted to do more but my brother's gearbox broke for the 4th event in a row! :(

    In gossip news, the F1 games have a permanent community manager now. Hopefully we will also see some more community stuff
    You were there? Ha! Funnily enough I asked @Rallycameraman if he was going to be there, but not you! 

    Was rather a restrictive affair for spectators this year, so I ended up spending the day on Warren. Awful weather in the morning, but wasn't too bad in the afternoon. 
    Yeah the weather was pretty awful! I took my go pro out the rally car in an attempt to be all professional!

    I'll probably leave it to Luke in the future!

  4. Anyway, Halloween is over so let's stop talking about ghosts, good gossip @RodgerDavies ! It looks like we will definitely be getting either Hyundai i20 wrc and/or polo wrc. Possibly but less likely ds3 too. I really hope we get official liveries, especially this year's polo livery!

    In real life there will be a man who will say you where you failed and why.
    In the game it is easier to use a ghost or a color ribbon on the road. Both used in several "racing sims".

    i have never seen in a real rally ghosts Racing
    Can you assert that the principle "follow a more experienced pilot" is not used in real training?

    so this is a sim
    Almost so. This is a realistic GAME for a wide range of players.







    I just don't think it is a good way to learn. You should be learning through listening to your co driver, not through lines or ghosts. They just don't belong in the game. Not saying that beginners shouldn't get help, just not in this way

    No ghosts! Would absolutely hate that! ARCADE! POPCORN!
    Ghosts is an important part of "driving school". They are good teachers. And they can be disallowed in rated/online races. Who said that you will be forced to play with ghosts? But many players will be glad to understand own mistakes using a ghosts.
    I just don't think they have any place in a realistic rally game. That's not what rally is, it is you on your own against the elements. You shouldn't know what others are doing until the end of each stage, that's part of the challenge

  7. Well looks like I won't be on DiRT again for a while. Burnt a motor out on wheel playing AC last night. Think I may save up for a thrustmaster wheel?

    it was fun while it lasted  :D
    Could be worse, you could have to spend your morning taking a speed awareness course! ****ing average speed cameras!
    Where did you get caught?
    On the M4 in 50mph roadworks. I was on the way to meet Prince Charles (true story) but unfortunately that's apparently no excuse
