These cars are twitchy as hell and softening the rear springs seems to make it worse.

Time to wing it in the Starlet!

When I was adjusting my set-up, I increased the front brake pressure, and decreased the rear. Then in the game I went to brake for a corner and my rear slid out. I remembered that RWD cars in RBR are FWD cars with 5/6 reverse gears, then did a little experiment with the front and rear ride height.

Yep, set-ups are reversed for RWD cars.

Right then. I'll have to remember that for next time...

Just finished my rally, and it went better than expected, though still not flawless. I was surprised that Joux Plane had been replaced with another iteration of Joux Verte, but I rolled with it. Apart from some dumb spins on Prospect Ridge, Ivato and Cote D'Arbroz, and my car somehow getting stuck in 2nd gear after a minor crash on Bisanne 2, things went alright. Not expecting wonders with the Starlet, but when it decided to co-operate with me it was a fun little car to drive.

See you all next time!
