I had a lot more fun driving this week's challenge, these two cars appeared to be initially equal but when their handling differences became much clearer, it became fairly obvious which car was gonna be faster.
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution III GSR '95 ~ 2'48.853
The car has power equal to the Impreza but somehow the power picks up lesser on this one. Though the car has much more stable handling than the Impreza, it's more on the understeer balance and the lack of power just made the difference.
Subaru IMPREZA Sedan WRX STi Version II '95 ~ 2'46.707
A wild animal, this car. At first I thought I couldn't brake hard into the corner because I thought the brakes itself were weak, but after a few hours of practice, I found that the brakes don't work very well unless the car's going full straight, especially on the first corner. The opposite of the Evo indeed, the car's balance goes towards oversteer, and it was really fun controlling the tail-happy 4WD.
Overall Combined Time: 5'35.560 👍
This challenge is probably the most enjoyable one I've had yet, I haven't had much experience in rally racing (the first being the Silvia 180RS on C.R. Trail II) and this experience was very nice. It's making me love rally more and more.
