Gif of a screen capture made with the Windows 10 recording tool from DiRT 3 Complete Edition, which is possibly one of the best value for money for rally fun (though not necessarily realism). After a day of messing around with 800hp Saturn Skys, 850hp Ford Fiestas, and purpose built hillclimb specials, the most fun I had in this game was with this tiny little 100hp FWD Mini Cooper. It embodies “tossable” as you can see by the ridiculously poorly-done Scandanavian Flick I use to toss it though that corner. With the right amount of flicking and downshifting you can hit a corner at just about any speed in this and make it ‘round faster than most cars in the game. Weight transfer and lift-off oversteer are also beautiful, working exactly how you expect them to in real life.

Also this particular stage is best played with the Initial D OST playing in the background

running in the 90s~~

That looks glorious ... brb, checking out whether or not I am in posession of the game mentioned. :D

One of the best soundtracks of ID imho. Makes me want to rewatch the latter 3 seasons.

But I know how you feel. I have fond memories of Dirt 3 pikes peak cars and doing the WRC stages, though this was when they still used GFWL and before they gave everyone Complete Editions. If you have Assetto Corsa, chucking a GT86 around some of the hill climb courses is equally fun. Clutch kick + 200hp = mad skids.

I just bought Assetto Corsa while it was on sale when I posted this. About to go install it. I really need to get a proper three-pedal setup for my rig.

Awesome! DLC pack 1 is worth if you can afford it. I’d suggest just getting used to the physics first since some cars prefer a certain method of shifting. Add me and maybe we’ll race sometime, I’m preoccupied with pCars atm doe.

It came with the first DLC :D I knew I couldn’t do without the Nurburgring so I’m super happy about that.

Oh didn't know that. Welp the laser scanned version of the ring is thus far the best I've driven :) nothing like piloting a gt3 car there for an adrenaline rush.
