I've found with rally that if you're enjoying yourself you're not going fast enough. When you're going proper fast you get into the zone and are in constant fear.
I don't know about that. I am enjoying myself getting some good driving in and then comes that one random turn or obstacle that absolutely wrecks me typically immediately before the finish line haha
"If youre not scared, your not going fast enough." (but the thing is you do need to know your limit and the limit of the car, you go beyond the limit and will likely crash)
To Jimmer and anyone playing this game. @9:35 the time needed for repairs is calculated based on the worst case scenario of the standard fixes. Every standard fix has a min-max timeframe to complete as you can see @9:25 for the steering. The game always uses the maximum to fill up the clock, so that in the worst case scenario, you won't lose leaderboard time because of repairs. Therefore, if your repair time is green, what ends up happening is that the clock shows 29:45 but the repairs will actually take less time. The more light damaged parts you have the less time the repairs will actually take. Therefore you should always overshoot the repair time, especially when you have many light damaged parts, for at least 2 minutes into the red, otherwise you will never utilize all your repair time. Most of the times, the actual repair time is 2 to 5 minutes faster than the clock shows.
I won the Croatia Rally in a Talbot today because "don't push too hard" was my target for the Rally because my Sponsor target was to finish 1 Event of that Championship. I made almost no mistakes and won by over 10 seconds on 90 difficulty.
@@marvinlinnarz5856I think real life rally driver actually slow down themselves so they could survive through the stage. Pretty common on race track too. They rather drive about 85% or little more of their qualifying pace.
I absolutely loved this video. Honestly it's a great showcase of why rally is so awesome - the amazing driving combined with the incredible jeapordy, nursing a wounded car to the end and salvaging as much pace as possible.
Today would have been Craig Breens birthday. That famous 6R4 video that Jimmy loves, there's actually a mod of that very stage in asetto Corsa called molls gap from digital Motorsports. All we need is a Metro 6R4 mod in AC and we could have a fun tribute video.
I think this format is a good balance between video and streams. Rally streams are great because uncut rally stages are always a treat because it's constantly changing so it never gets boring. But I think this maintains the essence of a stream while making it a more manageable length. The rally stuff is always entertaining, and it seems like even when it goes wrong you're having fun.
Awesome video Jimmy! Always love your rally content like this or RBR Favorit rally streams. There is special energy to it, like some kind of a journey through the whole rally, watching you take different strategies due to damages and seeing progress in table. I have joined this ea wrc club thanks to this video. Shame I am too late for Monte, but watching the real thing live made for it :D
This was absolutely fantastic, would love to see more! Enjoyed that it wasn't a perfect run and how you pushed through to recover to a pretty respectable ranking IMO
love the video and the format Jimmy, I'd love to see more you do these kind of challenges it's always fun to watch. dirt rally 2 have those daily/weekly events it'll suit this video format
2:00 Co-driver: "Hairpin left into 2 right don't cut 60 into..." Jimmy's brain: "I wonder what Annie and I are doing for lunch. I should play Baldur's Gate later"
🎶🎶🎶 He's YEETING next to a mountain... He tumbled down, with the back of his wheel... Said Jimmer's YEETING next to a mountain... He tumbles down, with the back of his wheel... *Epic guitar solo* 🎶🎶🎶
Always appreciate more rally content! Doesn't need any wacky controls or challenges to make jimmer piss his pants every time and always motivates me to give it a spin myself afterwards :) I also really enjoy the format with the little bits of narration between the stages and a full rally is always cool to watch.
Just 20 minutes ago I played WRC4 on my PS2 for the first time in over a decade, and then this pops up in my video feed. After trying my hand at a simrally game I've got a new appreciation for racers. That shit was incredibly hard.
Gotta say I really appreciate how the game doesn't just cut away and pull your input the instant you cross the finish like, and you've still got to maintain control of your car. Does damage that happens after crossing the finish still carry over to the next stage so you actually have to have restraint all the way to a stop? I love that stuff. Immersion!
I liked the format! It was a little like one of the "live action" episodes with the voice-over but it worked because we got to see you really pushing. Sweaty Jimmer is always a winner.
one thing with the time limit on repairs. on your 1st service you had 5:45-10:33 for repairs on the radiator. this means it could only take 5:45 to repair but the service time that adds up is the 10:33 so you could have probably went over by 1:30 on time and still been ok with service time now if you do this with other part repairs you can manage to fix more problems. in this situation i have found that if you use around 25% of the repair time difference you can get by safely with no repair penalties. service in video was @9:28
@@Taze00 yeah its all in how much of a gamble you are willing to take. but can definitely help getting car to a better spot than just staying in that green zone of repairs.
Awsome video Jimmer! Droven till the end like a true rally driver. Never give up! I also participated in the rally and crashed at the end of Stage 8 Ancelle ( 21:24 ) - I tell you these street signs are magnets. I hope you can participate in the other events and make videos about it.
Awesome video, as always. I would definitely watch an unedited version of this! Every stage, every shakedown, every repair stop, car tuning. Makes you want to jump in and do a bit of WRC. Savage craic, lad 🙂👊
Really enjoyable video. I hope you enter all the official EA WRC events because it's great watching someone with mountains more talent than me (but not an eSports pro) compete, make mistakes, but still get it to the end in a commendable position. 👍
20:07 - This is one of the best parts about rally games, when you overshoot a corner and have to try and make it back to the road without causing damage or too much time loss. It annoys me soo much that they insist on keeping the "reset to track" BS in the games. I understand they can't let us roam too far off the road, but in DR2 you can get reset the second you're off the road. I wish they could find a middle ground.
I was watching some of the monte carlo shakedowns 2 weeks ago, this made me want EA wrc more than I already do, cool to see them doing events along with events. They may have always done that but I've only play DR1 & 2... saving for a wheel lol
I didn't think i would enjoy it and would only watch a few minutes... but i was fully invested and watched and enjoyed every moment. Some great driving... some sketchy driving too. Makes me feel better about my efforts on a good old fashioned controller :)
First of all, really enjoyed this video and comparing my stage times!☺ Did this rally last week and I finished 424. so about a minute behind Jimmer and also one puncture and subpar engine power at one point. It was my first proper look at the Monte stages in this game and I have to say they are really awesome, especially with the new WRC cars! The hybrid is so dangerous when it kicks in at the wrong moment tho. But IMO DR2 did intermediate (patchy) Monte conditions better and there was a lot more of it proportionally. In EA WRC there isn't much so it's a rally of contrasts between really slippy ice and really grippy tarmac. In terms of tyres, it's only worth using softs on Ancelles which is a short stage and almost all of it tarmac so tyre choice isn't a question for me, I always go winter.
So I tested Ancelles and the soft vs winter time gain with the soft was a single second even with very little ice on the stage. You can feel the grip difference in a big way but the time lost on ice doesn't make it worthwhile.
Hi I drove the rally aswell (173) I also think that the winter tyre is the one to go for, espaccially under braking. I just wonder if the soft tyres hold longer? My winter tyres were shredded when I arrived at the service. And the hybrid boost felt like a stuck open throttle! I send you a friend request via Racenet ;-)
@@min_maximilian It would help if the game gave more info on tyre use and wear. Also with carrying spares, you'd expect swapping them between stages would be an option and you should be able to try mixed sets like in real WRC, diagonal etc.
@@SoofiGaming that would be great. But I expect it to be out of scope for a simcade game to do mixed sets. I think it is a bit odd that after a stage when the timetable is shown, the tire wear is shown with a colour gradient that has more than 3 levels. But your engineers at a service park only know three levels of tyre wear: fresh, used, worn.
Format is great. I would love this kind of vid to go live before the event times out though; I went on this club on video release day and Monte was already closed 😢. Rally gives your community the unique opportunity to compete against you directly, so hope you can make the most of that 🙂.
I used a DD wheel for the first time recently, with 8nm (I think the guy said), in ACC. It was such a workout! It reminded me of your video where you drove an EA WRC stage in Japan. I think you were going for a record, and you were absolutely drenched after lol. I get it now. My hands were cramped up just from trying to hang on to the wheel and after my little 12 minute session, my back was pretty sweaty. This particular setup that I tried was a motion rig and it was such a trip! Makes my G29 feel like a Fisher Price toy lol. Also, in your defense, that last corner of the second last stage is NOT a L3! I'd be slapping the shit out of my co-driver if they thought that that is a L3 lol.
I very much enjoyed this Jimmy. But you should have entered the Official WRC Monte Carlo Rally self-commentary edition. You would have surely broken into the top 300 best driver/commentators. Always number 1 in our hearts.
I can't tell you how many times I've made the same mistake at that last corner. Actually i probably can, i think it's twice. 100% I'd watch a live stream of you doing this Jimmer. Not sure if this was streamed and i missed it but if you're doing it again I'll be watching.
I've found with rally that if you're enjoying yourself you're not going fast enough. When you're going proper fast you get into the zone and are in constant fear.
That checks out.
I don't know about that. I am enjoying myself getting some good driving in and then comes that one random turn or obstacle that absolutely wrecks me typically immediately before the finish line haha
Very true, if you aren’t pushing yourself you aren’t learning
When you feel like you're barely hanging on and at any moment about to send the car off a cliff or into a tree
"If youre not scared, your not going fast enough."
(but the thing is you do need to know your limit and the limit of the car, you go beyond the limit and will likely crash)
I don't know if it was intentional or not but posting this video on Craig Breens birthday while driving his car is a lovely way to remember him
