RD Rally Club - Juicy Jumpin' - NR4/R4 at Finland - 13th to 16th April 2020

Livery made by @pigloaf can be found here

Time to jump around. We got a little taste of it with the Easter special in Sweden, but now. Now it is time for proper jumping. With some slightly lazy, soft and juicy NR4/R4 cars! Nothing to make you feel the jumping like 1.3 tonnes of a rally car on semi-stock dampers landing a 50 meter jump, eh?

I've skipped on these rallies way to often, and thus also skipped the reports way to often. So let's do it gif-style.

SS1, a clean stage, without much issues happening!

SS2, could probably be renamed the stage of jumps and luck!

As someone who hasn't driven the Mitsubishi at all in Dirt Rally 2.0 so far, it sure was extremely difficult to keep it on the track, resulting in multiple tires having to get changed during the stages. A mix out of no experience on the car and very few experience on the game itself so far has definitely made this a horror to drive through personally, but even then I had an alright pace when I did keep it on the track catching one or two green sectors on the way, so that's a small win for me already given how inexperienced I am so far.

I haven't tried Finland yet in DR2 but in DR1 it was regularly a painful experience, with rallies ending rather abruptly

Probably not the easiest combo with a lack of experience, but at least the roads are wide. It could've been worse, it could've been Poland or Scotland!

I find Finland easier in DR2, I haven't had any of those "land hard and get a puncture" situations!

EDIT: As evident by one of my GIF's, that surely would've been puncture in DR1!
