Yep, I'm seriously in love with this game. (Gaming)

I drove the Escort MKII during the preview races you can do while the game is installing, and even that car was unruly and extremely tail happy. I can't wait, but this is the only racing game I've ever played where I feel like starting with low end cars has actually been really beneficial.

The more I played, the more I felt like the steering inputs with a controller were a little too quick. It's not very noticeable with the 60's cars, but it became more of an issue later on. I fiddled with advanced steering settings, and I think tweaking these two things gets it feeling like Forza's "simulation" steering setting, if you're interested:

Sensitivity: 35
Linearity: 50

I didn't touch anything else.

I've only managed one first place finish so far in Dirt Rally, and am currently sitting in a very contentious 3rd in the Championship with one event left. And being in third actually feels good--it's refreshing to not just basically automatically win every race.

I felt lucky to even finish my first event.
