Was trying to have a bit of fun in CMR2... Trying different modes.
Arcade mode: This is arcade all right... Fight other cars for the orad.
In
Easy, it just takes some practice to beat them handily. In INTERMEDIATE,
they REALLY put up a fight. I can win the tarmac course pretty
consistently,
(5 out of every 6?) but winning the other two courses in "class A"
eludes
me completely. I've won once or twice out of upteenth times trying. And
without beating everybody in Class A I can't even unlock class B! :-/
Rally Challenge: the superspecial stages are interesting, and I can beat
all comers on easy and intermediate after a bit of practice. However,
beating them on "hard" is nearly impossible, and so far the furthest
I've
got is quarter-final (round 2). These guys are whipping out lap times
that I can't even get CLOSE (2-4 seconds faster, which is a lot on
an SS course)! I didn't make any mistakes and such, but I still can't
get
close.
The sucky replay in CMR2 doesn't help me pinpoint my mistakes and
such either.
Rally Championship: Did fine in easy level, won almost all events except
Finland (in the snow). Decided to try Intermediate... BIG mistake! The
other
competitors are suddenly doing SO MUCH better I am not even in the top
five. If I can't even get close to top in Intermediate, what does HARD
look
like?
Just a note: I'm a casual driver, which means I don't have a wheel. I
drive
with a joystick only... But I do well enough on the different rally
games I
own, including CMR, CMR2, Rally Masters, etc. etc. And I drive only
automatic tranny. Will a wheel improve my times that much? Or should I
learn how to drive manual?

A wheel makes a pretty big difference in CMR2, as compared to a keyboard.
Rally cars don't like going from lock to lock instantly in fast corners...
The transmission doesn't make much difference though, I just generally like
to be able to choose which gear I'm in.
