Yep, best times will come from oodles of practice and never lifting. When you start to break the physics of the game, you'll be about as fast as you can go.
The SpecialStage RBR championship was difficult to do. I did a couple of them but then kind of fizzled out. My work schedule typically gets in the way of me being able to handle things when I need to

I always loved the snow stages the most.  Why do you even need brakes? Are you some sort of pansy or something? |

KTurner, I tried that mod site and everything is much better now. Loving the lower-powered FWD cars at the moment. I love super-1600

sweet! all those little cars are a lot of fun. I tend to drive the focus st170 when I haven't been out in the real car and need to practise focusing cause it feels like my car. -KTurner Stomp down on the exhilarator and hold on to the wheel. |

I'd be curious about how much time you've spent actually using Richard Burns Rally. Of the rally computer games, it is the one that stood out as having the most realistic physics model, to the point that the 'mass' consumer found it too difficult to 'play.' The more hard core community has embraced it and has created add ons that have kept the game growing and expanding for over a decade from when it was orphaned by the original developers. The reality is there is some good 'training' and 'testing' that can be done with the game, the cars do react to set-up changes, although in no way does it replicate or replace real-world experience. So, wanna find out what happens to a car when you go 'full soft' on the back but full hard on the front? This is a great tool. Suspension has the full range of adjustability and just like the real world most people will end up chasing their set-up and ending up with a slower car. So no, you won't feel it in the seat of your pants, you won't be able to test a real-world set-up, and yes, it is more wanking than not. BUT, it's far far far from an arcade game and has been useful to many people I know for learning everything from listening to pace notes to trying blunt set-up changes.
