Nicely done. Don't know how much you changed, but a bit of fiddling with the suspension settings can do wonders. I used to "run as is" and just change the gear ratios, until my son (a mechanic) did a setup for gravel in Finland (Dirt 1) on one of the cars. Totally blew my mind experiencing the difference in grip and handling, especially the landing after the big jumps and not getting those ridiculous rebounds.

they do the same in real life. Did you think every year the rally stages are completely new? think again... they race every year on pretty much the same stages, except when location is changed or a new location is included, so the drivers who have been rallying for years have memorized the stages more than newer drivers. They also get to pre-run it to make notes... only thing thats different every year for real life rally is the weather and road condition, stages themselves remain pretty much the same.
