Jimmy may not be in any danger, but the way the car drives is *very* similar to the real thing, the oversteer, and the understeer in this car is so hard to manage and to get a good time in, plus the car demands *all* of your attention, but jimmy could commentate while driving this car, *and* get a good time in, and that is requires so much skill to accomplish.

[@tommisaarinen2394]

@@theant9821 Toivonen, not Torvinen. Great driver regardless, he was a clear-cut favorite to win the championship that year. Also, he had a huge fever, and the overall rally was twice as long as the rally of Finland is today, yet the Lancia Martini team made him drive anyway, despite his teammate's death in the very same rally the prior year... and still, before he crashed, he was smashing the competition by *over a minute.* And it was a technical failure that caused the crash. Just... so many ways that death could, and should have been avoided.

[@theant9821]

@@tommisaarinen2394 the cause of the crash is not known. And he didn't have to drive but not doing so would void the contract he'd signed, and at the tim fatalities were not uncommon in rallying so the crash the year before wasn't even in the delta so most probably seen as unfortunate by the team. Not a reason to withdraw from the event.

[@tommisaarinen2394]

@@theant9821 But then again, those cars had no power steering, 600 bhp to contain and all wheel drive, and when you have a fever, you get a lot of fatigue in your muscles a lot faster than when you're healthy... Henri's body temperature was over 40°C. That's enough to land most people in a hospital nowadays. And, again, the rally was also much longer than any WRC rally today, not to mention that it was all narrow, winding mountain roads with tight corners and sometimes not even a guard rail separating the roads from the ravines surrounding them. Stepping behind the wheel in those circumstances is straight up suicide. Would have taken a damn miracle to survive through that.

[@wallymcguire2033]

4G12 I was pretty impressed with the realism. My 4x4 Tacoma drives exactly the same way in snow. Into a corner a little too hot causes it to understeer but if you mash the throttle, it just pulls you out exactly the same way this sim does. The vehicle response and steering inputs look identical. I need to play with one of these. Looks fun.

Now try that with a Lancia Delta S4! Before his untimely death Henri Toivonen did some tarmac testing on a track also used by F1. He would have qualified 8th for that years Grand Prix! The S4 also accelerated from 0-100km/h in 2.8 sec on gravel.

Stupid myths..acceletation test was on tarmac and the f1 story is pure hylarious bullshit! The s4 was a crazy car...and these lies are part of his story but definetly not real!

[@devandrasimanjuntak1646]

Gilles Priod the F1 story may not be true, but the accelaration is. I mean, Henri Toivonen (the one who drove the Delta S4) was the one that said it. 0-100 km/h in 2.9 sec, 0-200 km/h in 9.6 sec. And if you think about it, it make sense for a car that has 600 hp and weighs 890kgs, and has 4wd.

[@stefdem1533]

@@gillespriod5509 Last S4 had 650+ hp in race trim, in testing they reached 1.000 hp. So with slicks, right setup and perhaps higher turbo pressure they could go against F1 on slower tracks, where grip and acceleration counts.The S4 had titanium and ceramic in their engines, on par with an F1 engine at that time.

As the Walter used to say: "You have to tapdance on the pedals* to get it round a corner!" *both the brake and the gas. So what is your favourite Quattro in regards to sound, the AC one, the PCars 2 one or the Dirt Rally one? Personally I prefer the Dirt Rally one.....and yeah you need that understeer there given the lack of traction on some surfaces. On the other hand how about the Audi 90 IMSA GTO after this? R3E has it as well as Pcars 1 and 2, but I prefer the R3E one......the sound is so much better. And I guess it was 14 seconds in time but worlds in difference in fun compared to the Formula E! ;)
