Today I am taking the 911SCRS on dirt roads

Very cold Saturday, not much else to do…
The 911 SCRS sounds amazing in Dirt2, and she’s tail happy for sure. But I am getting better at controlling those drifts with the gas pedal.

I haven’t figured out yet how to record clips with my video card, but the one below should give you an idea how good it is.
Then, there is always the GT3RS…



And the dashboard is extremely realistic:

Totally. I used to watch YouTube onboard videos of groupB rally cars, and this is actually better quality. Plus, I actually get to drive. Now I need a proper race seat…

I used to have this one. The playstation was gone, so I put it on Craigslist for $50 with this pic. Within an hour, I started getting calls and they kept coming for a few days.

For 50 bucks, I would have jumped on it too. Just what I need.

The first caller came out with three of his teen friends. They were drooling. I didn't realize, at that point, how much they were wanted.
I almost took the seat off and scrapped the rest. The seat was great quality. I was going to swap it out for my Rangers driver seat.

The details like the sound, trees, dust clouds are incredible.
About half-way thru...I thought sure you were into that tree...otherwise good job!

My personal record on that course is 7.53 with the 911 SCRS, but I did it in 7.02 with the Lancia Delta S4. That one is a true monster, and AWD makes a big difference..
Will try the GT3RS next .

OK, the SCRS was easy to beat with the GT3RS. 7.38 without pushing it too much .

You can always start cheap with 2x4s like I am doing right now…

When my basement is finished, I may treat myself with an alcantara racing seat…and become a professional YouTube rally driver

I have that Alcantera Playseat. Worth every penny... and no side-eye from the wife. I have three screens for business but actually use an Oculus for Iracing.

One more: Peugeot 205 T16. A French groupB AWD little monster that easily beat both Porsches. I did a 7:10 with that one.
