All in easy-to-digest, meme-ish format! As you can probably guess, I am incredibly bored. Any car I haven’t mentioned is either not noteworthy or I just forgot about it.

They fixed this mistake in DiRT Rally 2.0

We consider the current Civic Type R to be fast, yes? Well, the 306 Maxi makes the same power but weighs 500kg less.

Having never played the game, I can only assume these are understatements.

Wreckfest would have some good ones:

Saab 96 thing: is this steering wheel attached?

Jaaaaaaag: What is a straight line?

Bulldog: Made of paper mache and a center of mass around the height of mount everest

Semi: I didn’t need the front wheel anyways

Couch: Why is this like this?

Every rear wheel drive car: Why is there torque steer??????

Reverse: Why do the wheels not turn??????

That fucking couch - basically any steering input = instant spin, because wheelbase = 1/3 track width . You have to be so ridiculously smooth it’s almost impossible. Fun game though, I’ll probably pick it back up when I’m done with Borderlands.

If the game is realistic you have to slightly over- slow the Subarus and turn in just as you are trailing off the brake to make sure you maximize the effect of weight transfer onto the front wheels. Also, I should probably pick up Dirt Rally, and build a proper seat setup for the wheel/pedals.

Only by the time I beat the final car eer race could I manage to get the couch race won. Same thing with the lawnmower but somehow not as bad. There’s something wrong when the bus handles better than a couch.

It can definitely be frustrating. You have to get it to overrotate before the apex and when you(I) fuck it up you just kill all your speed through the corner and ruin your exit by plowing through. It’s painful .

I’m gonna pick up this game today if I can. I’d download it but I live rurally and that would probably take more than a day to download.

It’s without a doubt  the best rally game I’ve ever played
