What a relief this championship has been so far. Last night, my Championship went to Spain, so I’m finally driving the RWD Porsche 911 on tarmac. And I can sort of dig that, but others will find it torturous.
The game really does feel like a finicky, overly-technical sim when you’re in a RWD car. They are honestly really tough to drive in both DiRT Rally and the sequel. I will throw in the caveat that if you do play, try to stay away from Rear Wheel Drive cars. The guy in 24th place has a 30 second lead on me, but I still have 3 more stages to try to catch him. I’m in 25th place, everyone behind me is disqualified. I was in last place in New England, my objective in Poland was not to come in last place, but it’s not going so well. I haven’t figured out a solution for that last part yet, but at least I now know how to take 6 and 5 turns in the Porsche. So how do you turn a Porsche on gravel? You gently apply the brakes, which shifts the weight to the front tires, and turn the steering wheel gently, which turns the car. What about if you let go of the acceleration? Nope, still won’t turn. It will keep going in the direction was going. If you turn your steering wheel, gently to the right while still going forward and accelerating, the car will not turn. So you’re going in a straight line, there’s a gentle turn to the right. Which kind of apes the real life history of the car in rallies, it might not have been the most powerful in terms of BHP but it sure made up for it in other areas.ĭriving that Porsche 911 is like hitting myself in the balls over and over.Īfter driving it a few hours in Poland, I finally figured out how to turn the Porsche on gravel. What it might lack for in straight up performance numbers like BHP against its class competitors it makes up for in the weight savings, rear-engine design, and its handling\maneuverability characteristics. The engine is located in the back over the rear axle, helping keep weight located over the rear wheels to assist with tyre grip levels. I found that the Renault Alpine A110 1600 S happens to be a good car to start out with in the H2 RWD category. Some RWD cars are easier to get to grips with than others, the Stratos can be easier to spin due to it’s mid-engine design and how much power it can output. They really nailed the throttle modulation aspect in 2.0, so you want to be careful how much you are on the throttle sliding through corners and how soon you get back on the power when straightening out. Yeah, the rear-wheel drive cars can be a handful in DiRT Rally 2.0, even more so than in the original DiRT Rally.
