Hi,

I was just wondering. I would love to try and race some front wheel
drive cars, but there isn't any sim on the market that gives a good feel
on FWD cars. Is there any way of changing e.g. a parameter in GPL to
make those cars FWD?

Thanks,
Johan.

Rally Championship 2000 focusses on the world rally F2 championship
and uses front wheel drive cars such as the Seat Ibiza and other front
wheel drivers quite accurately. (i.e. to much power in a corner invariably
causes understeer)

(Apologies if you've already discounted this sim).

I do have this sim, but IMO this falls in the category of no good
'feel'. I played one chamionship in the Micra and haven't played anymore
since the 1st stage of the Pirelli rally in my 2nd championship.

Have you tried SCGT with the 'advanced options' patch?
I think it simulates fwd,rwd,4wd ..

I haven't tried the fwd, or 4wd functions, but it might
be worth a look.

Patches etc. at www.gtinsider.com
