Hehehe....if you want a more forgiving stage, try Frazier Wells in the
USA. It's a much faster stage with wider roads and more margin for
error. It will really help you get a feel for the car.

Good luck! RBR is so much fun...

LOL!  I finally got into RBR last weekend.  I started out using the
Gravis Gamepad and was able to get through most of the Rally School.

I set up my wheel and it was a whole new world.  I still can't finish
the final school test (Yes, I can't actually finish it to even set a
time :) ).  The couple times I have finished it I was in the 93sec range
which worked for the basic level but is horrible for the advanced.

I tried the first and third stages in GB and am about 40-45sec off the
best time.  The first time around there my goal was "Don't hit anything
and don't spin out".

This game is tough but I love it.  I find the wheel VERY sensitive which
seems to be the way real rally cars are.  That took some getting used to
but I'm learning; small adjustments and no sudden movements.

Diamond Creek's pretty fun too.  The USA stages for the most part are fast
with a lot of grip.  Lotta fast fun and less tedious than some other places.

I've done a wreck in which I barreled so many times I felt just bad for the
driver/co-driver.  I turned the game off after that.  They must be dead you
know...

I can just imagine all those kiddies trying this with their keyboard. OMG

I feel the same way whenever I've put it in the ditch and hear my
co-driver moan and groan from being thrown around in his
seatbelts. Also, his door is usually the first to go. 8-P

Cheers,

But isn't it cool that when you lose his door, the engine sound gets
much louder just on that side of the car? The attention to detail is
amazing...

:) - I went to the less forgiving damage model last night for just
that reason - it's almost as much fun to fight a busted car to make it
to the end of a stage.
Door gone making engine noise so loud I could barely hear the pace
notes, broken driveshaft banging around, messed up strut causing the
car to go *really* squirelly under braking - love it!

PS - anyone got a helicopter rescue?  Do you need full damage and a
really bad off?
