#3623621 - 08/10/12 12:03 AM My New Favorite Racing Discipline
PFunk SimHQ Redneck Veteran Registered: 07/03/03 Posts: 12353 Loc: N. Central Texas	About a year ago, I picked up DiRT and never even touched it. This last week, I thought I'd give it a whirl...and I'm hooked. I now want a serious rally racing sim, one with a crew chief possessing the most unintelligable Scottish or Finnish accent imaginable. I'm tired of hearing a Californian showboat who's gotten his butt kicked every time he's left the States saying "dude" in my headset. What I like is that I'm the only guy out there and precision is key, but in an entirely manner than road racing. _________________________ If you can't get everyone to get on board with you, scaring the living hell out of everybody is the next best way to get attention and feel needed. www.sixmanfootball.com

LugnutUSA Member Registered: 08/11/08 Posts: 1089 Loc: VA, USA	RBR is pretty much the best rally sim that has been made. It's also really difficult. As much as I enjoy it, I can only enjoy it for about 15 seconds and then I'm enjoying the texture work on the trees from a very close perspective. _________________________ Active Sims: rFactor, GTR2 Inactive Sims: NR 2003, RACE '07, F1C, GPL, GP3, GP2 citizen059 on Steam citizen059 on Planetside 2 (Waterson - Vanu Sovereignty)

Some love it, some don't. Also you can still find the Colin McRae games cheap. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

PFunk SimHQ Redneck Veteran Registered: 07/03/03 Posts: 12353 Loc: N. Central Texas	RBR probably seems like the best option at this point. And, good gravy, that's cheap. _________________________ If you can't get everyone to get on board with you, scaring the living hell out of everybody is the next best way to get attention and feel needed. www.sixmanfootball.com

Raw Kryptonite Beat the Kobayashi Maru Hotshot Registered: 04/04/08 Posts: 9470 Loc: MS	It will definitely be more challenging. Dirt skills won't mean much. The racing school it has is pretty cool. _________________________ •XBL/Steam/Xfire: Raw Kryptonite MWO: Defcon Won •Logitech G27 Nixim •AMD FX-4170 •Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 & 6970 2GB GDDR5 Crossfire •16 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600mhz PC3-12800 •MSI 990FXA-GD65 Mobo

Weasel_Keeper SimHQ Forums Manager Hotshot Registered: 06/28/01 Posts: 9789 Loc: Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA	I just never could get into RBR (with the patches) or Collin McCray. Like Lugnut I was normally studying the trees after my car smashed into them. I don't know what it is but I just never got the hang of them and they sit in their jewel case awaiting the next time I want to give them a try. I think maybe it's my attention level to learn a long course. I don't like the Nurburgring in rFactor because it takes forever to get around and I have a tough time remembering where I made a mistake (and I make plenty). The only reason I can drive at LeMans is because we've raced so many times there. Give me (dirt or asphalt) a 2-4 mile course and I'll have fun all day. _________________________ "Cave Putorium!"
