There seems to be something quite odd about how the car is reacting there - it's almost like each wheel is connected to the road by a rubber band in a groove that keeps pulling it back onto the track, especially at speed around airborne corners.

Nah, what you're seeing is just skill. ;)

Watching videos like that is not good for my self-esteem. I put in what I feel is a fine drive only to find out I'm +30s on a relatively short stage.

I am so accustomed to circuit racing that I don't have the confidence to really let the car go and slide round too much. More practice needed!

Haha man you can do it! The first time I attacked a top time I was 20 seconds behind...but I put in the time and nicked away at those tenths...
 
Not the cleanest of races but I had a lot of fun with this (online public lobby), I'm not sure whether it was an illegal overtake because of what happened a few corners earlier but this was easily the most epic final corner move I've made.

Nice! Do you use wheel? Good control :)

I feel I can drive too my potential speed wise in rallycross, but my mid-corner control in a sideway battle is tricky with controller. And in regular rally, I have too drive 70% for a consistant run, if only the wheel from PS3 worked....:ouch:

I play with the standard DS4, that race wasn't tidy because I was falling over myself trying not to hit anybody (I hadn't played for a few days and then felt a bit guilty about the contact in the first corner). I've found that in the RX supercars you have most control if you get the car pointing where you want it to go then stop steering altogether (leaving the power to straighten it all up means you're less likely to slide).

As for rally I'm still struggling, especially in the rear-wheel drive cars, it feels like I can never react quick enough to what the car is doing to save the spin.
