Then get off your ass and do it! Let this game consume your Soul!

Or at least invent some curse words, as I have done after hitting the ditches 100 times.

This is on sale on Steam. As a guy who isn't really good at driving games and had no wheel for the PC should I consider this? Is it fun even if you're challenged?

No, no, no: This is as hardcore as it gets for a console racing game. Unforgiving. Brutal. Beautiful.

Fun as hell. But you really need to be a petrolhead to appreciate it.

[dbdynsty25]

Finally ordered the Xbox version of the game so I can join in on the fun/torture. It'll arrive Sunday so gotta get in and going quick. Haha.

[Gangrel]

Terry, are those Kontrol Freek things easy to take off and on, or are you basically stuck with it once you stick it on a stick?

[TCrouch]

Really easy. They're just a little snap-on type of stick topper.

Sounds about right eh?

Like most of us would consent, thanks again for setting the events. Although the intention is good, when you look at the times, I could be driving a Ferrari and still be a bottom feeder. I'd like too see a handicap feature where you can actually puncture one of Terry's car wheels and start the race from there.

Kidding aside, it's been fun dropping off cliffs, gliding off tracks and flipping off mini side walls and I appreciate the change of cars. In my case however, it won't make much of a difference.

[dbdynsty25]

I'm in now..lets do this f*ckers!

P.S. I second the handicapping Terry's car motion.

[Jimmy_Lazerbeams]

Man that monte carlo stage is a hard intro to this class with all the spinning and sticky walls. Hopefully the improvement from playing the same cars week on week will translate to closer times towards the end. btw I took the hyundai cause it's the training wheels car - not because of some delusion of needing a handicap.

By the way - controller settings - would anyone care to compare or comment on their setup?

Controller, generally road view
Steering sensitivity 85
Steering Linearity 10 (want a little forgiveness close to center, but overall wheels should do what I say)
Steering Deadzone 20%
Launch/ABS/Stability/Traction OFF & Manual/Clutch_Override On - for fun and challenge

[TCrouch]

I never touched the default controls when I ran with a controller. At rally 5 last season I changed over to my wheel after I dug it out of the garage and have done no end of FF tweaking, but that won't really matter to anybody.

I've always preferred the smallest dead zone possible in racing games when using a controller. I don't like having to guess where the steering input is going to start working...most of the time I set it at 5% or less if possible, and work on tiny adjustments instead of the stab-stab-stab-stab method of steering.

I thought Dirt Rally had phenomenal controller settings out of the box, honestly.

And screw you guys on the tire puncturing plan!! I just try not to get penalties. Anything else is a bonus.

[pk500]

Agree. It was a welcome pleasure to have such good feel with a controller out of the box.

Quite the change from Project Cars on the Xbox One. I think some graduate students put less time into their thesis than I needed to find a good controller setup for PCars.

You know after this quote I switched to 5%, it felt too floaty, so I tried 10, and immediately felt more stable. There was too much over-correcting before. So then on the last race, after getting used to smaller, more controlled inputs, I went back to 5% and had a really solid run. This was really good input.
