Really don't like PP and won't revisit until I can use the rally cars there.
I'm not too keen on the night time Rally races, only good thing is that the AI tend to drive quite slow in the dark. Turning the monitor brightness up temporarily can help.
Friday to Sunday daily challenges are always the long eight part stages. You should try the monthly challenge when you're a bit more comfortable with everything. 24 stages no restarts and 30 minute repair time after every other stage only. Only completed it totally once. Great fun though and really makes you take care of your car.

Hah. I'm enjoying PP - played it a lot today, although I'm still not as fast as you. Different car though
I love how the road disappears over blind crests where you have no idea which way the road is going to go. I'm also enjoying turning off the hud so that I have to rely on the navigator's voice in the rally stages.

Well, the jury is out on that Fiat 131 Daily, such a slow car, nice stage though. You beat me by 11 seconds Charles.
I did manage to beach the car 150 yards from the end, take a few photo's then had to take a 15 second penalty to reset my car sadly. Wish I hadn't spent ten seconds trying to reverse back on track. Not that I'm trying to justify it, you must have had a good cleanish run.

This is officially the best thing ever. Love the long stages. Love the stage design. Love the look. Some of the cars are a real pain. Some of them are great. Driving along without a tyre and the rim sparking along the road was wonderous. The fact that there is no rewind option, so you have to weigh up the risk at each and every corner.

Thought you would enjoy it, glad it's money well spent. Is the best rally sim for a decade by a country mile.
All the stages are real life ones (if you didn't already realise) eg this one in Moanco, someone put a comparison video up a few weeks ago
And a Greece one is shown here in two side by side videos
