Ah, sorry about that ... well, you'll probably have to check the forums at
various web sites, but as far as rally Sim NG's, I haven't found any.

Pity ...

The tie-breaker being Rally Championship, which has a patch that allows you
to tweak the physics 6 (or more) ways to Sunday.

IMO, what's wrong w. RC is that the game cheats on the numbers (the times
posted by your competitors, stage-by-stage, section-by-section, and
rally-by-rally).
