Absolute monster of a car. Twin turbo V8. The sound of it was and still is incredible. Only tried it out a few times on Project Cars 2 and regularly crashed 😂

As stupid as it sounds, I forget which gear I'm in when I use sequential, and spend more time pissing around trying to look at which one I'm in. With manual, I at least have that physical, muscle confirmation as to which I'm in and can make a split second decision as to which I need next. I'm probably just not used to sequential, but I still don't get the enjoyment out of it I guess. That's entirely personal preference though.
Yeah this was a bit of a dick move by EA (intentional or not). A friend of mine also had to write off the game for this exact reason.
Awesome choice, love having a good fight with this thing. I did a video about this one in EA WRC. Such a great car. Link if interested: (not my best editing, going through rough times atm but oh well) https://video.gamerstavern.online/w/1QFkxig44RQBsaQ1wahHqQ
Stratos! Great car! Though in it’s class I always end up choosing the Ford Escort MK2 instead 😆
Hell yeah, manual shift all the way. I literally don’t drive any sequential shift cars- if I I’m forced to I’ll still drive it as a manual. It’s what the joy of driving is for me to be honest.
I wouldn’t knock EA WRC, it’s still made by Codemasters- the guys behind all the dirt series so it’s still very much a similar game but with the added bonus of a WRC license so you get a shed load more cars and official tracks
I still want one! Problem is in the UK it’s kind of associated with a man having a mid life crisis 😂
Oof I can’t disagree with you there, iconic is the word! Drives really nicely in EA WRC too ;)
For me, nothing comes close to the MG Metro 6R4 in EA WRC. There’s just something about how it just clicks with my driving style, along with that amazing sounding naturally aspirated V6. I can’t describe it, there’s just a mutual agreement between me and the car where it just works 🤣
Anyone else have a similar thing in other games or even EA WRC?
Same one that I use! It’s great. I just wish I didn’t have to download a new installer every time it needed an update 😂
Oh I had this installed for a while actually! Would ordinarily try and have DR2 installed but that file size is not the one…
When you say RBRHU, is that Richard Burns Rally the Hungarian rally sim fans version, as in RSF?
Yeah I reckon I’ll give it a go soon enough. I also really don’t enjoy sequential shifters. Love me some old school manual shift!
Yeah, agreed. There's been a lot of communities that I left behind there that haven't yet been started up here. General rule of Lemmy is if it isn't there, create it!
I'm a rally guy myself, but that's not because I hate track racing. I love to try track cars every now and then but my driving style just isn't refined enough to do well in it. I can't do the consistent precision and racing lines needed. I prefer to fight cars and fight with unpredictable terrain. I can't describe it, but rally just fits for me 🤷♂️
That said, I'm currently trying to find a good game/mod that I can add a Golf 8 R line to wang around a track because I love the R line Golfs!
😂 endurance rally!
