Dirt Rally allows you to use the dualshock controller as well as your wheel to control the game. I assigned the handbrake to the right hand joystick down direction and used an old handbrake out of a scrap car to come up with a custom handbrake you can see in this video.
BTW as I have the dualshock beside me I play the navigator audio through its speaker and the engine audio through the main speaker system. It feels a little more authentic that way and also makes his calls a little clearer I think.

I don't wanna speak of the rest of the stages... 
what's the penalty for hitting spectators? And there are way too many stones in Germany!! Not sure how many I hit

Hi all!
Probably I will compete the German Rally, but maybe it will be my last rally for this season because my downshift paddle is broken this week so I only can drive with an automatically gearbox, which I definetely not prefere. I want to drive with a manual gearbox.
So I`ve to send my wheel (T 150) back for fixing the problem.

Germany was a fun rally, the last 2 have been just about surviving rather than driving hard. Really good battle between Henketim, @TRGTspecialist and myself through the whole rally with quick people yet to go. The PS was a bit scrappy so TRGT has gained back the 1 point I took off him from the main rally there.

I`m happy with my driving on my home soil.
With no practice before the competition and automatically gearbox I`ve had to change my driving and its setup in the shakedown.
Then I started the rally. I`m pleased with the result although I had to change all my driving style (like braking and going on throttle) because for me it`s a big difference between an automatically and manual gearbox.
The video below shows my best drive during this rally. On this stage I was just 1 sec off the fastest time. I had small mistakes but at all this was a good stage.

After 6th stage I was 10 s ahead, after 7th it was even so I was really giving it all in the last stage - just not enough.

Decided to try the 037 this time instead of the Manta. First 4 stages were going pretty well, just a handfull of seconds in front of ICH-Motorsport in his Manta. Made a spin on SS5 and one BIG moment after the famous jump. Overshot a junction on SS7, went onto the grass and recieved a 10s(?) penalty.

Well done mate, had a feeling you would beat me on this one.
I did some testing for Greece and it didn't go well so I may struggle with the final 3 rallies.

I thoroughly enjoyed Rally Germany in the Manta but the rest of the season I think is going to be a bit more difficult as I still cant get the hang of the Scandinavian flick with the car. Practice, practice and more practice I guess!
Hope everyone has a good Rally Greece.

I'm currently testing for Greece (for once), and it's weird. The 037 seems tame in Greece. It's like it doesn't want to be on the hard stuff even though it's practically a sports car (yes I know what it was made for). It handled so much better in Sweden than it did in Germany as well. I can't wrap my head around this one.

Finished the Rally Greece.
Puh.. This was a tricky one. Really narrow and bumpy stages.
And from this there were 5 long stages. But it`s good to have more longer stages, because this isn`t already a sprint rally. Now you`ve to be really focussed on all its stages.
I think my run was good. I had 2 mistakes in the beginning of the rally, where I think I lost around 15 seconds at all. From there I drove very safe and I think it was the absolutely right decision. Hope that it will pay off.
Let`s see what the other drivers will reach in Greece.
