I can't drive sitting on the roof :(

Human drivers can see the***pit and the general dimensions of the
car - it's called peripheral vision.

I don't know how the hell people drive from nose cam views in racing
sims.  It takes entirely too much effort to learn the dimensions of
the car driving from that view when you can just sit in the***pit
and get a better feel for where your tires, hood, etc are in
relationship to the track.

>Yes, but NOT Master Rallye if I remember right.

Master Rallye was really good except for 2 things - it lacked a proper
***pit view (there was a camera that was positioned near where the
***pit would be, and you have gauge overlays) and the textures really
wear on you after awhile, lots of the same grass/dirt textures.

Other than that, the stages are somewhere between the length of CMR2
and RC2000, generally about 5 minutes long, and the physics handling
is imho about a notch higher than Porsche Unleashed.  Too much grip,
but the weight transfer is good if exaggerated and it's actually quite
possible to overload the suspension and lose the back end.  

I had fun with it for a week or two.

Non-cockpit would have been enough to turn me off...
