It's rear end moves around quite a bit around corners, and this was one of the things slowing me down. If you look at the video, the ghost car from my previous run is ahead of me here and there. I think it might be more my driving style than the physics. I'm by far not an expert at the actual physics - I just like to play them. I'm looking forward to trying for more leadearboard stats on V-Rally 4, even though it takes just as long as WRC 8 and Dirt Rally 2.

The gameplay definitely rivals the video I posted for the leaderboard run on WRC 8. V-Rally 4: Kenya Stage 2 - World Record (#1 Leaderboard Run) Here is a video of my gameplay on YouTube where I set the #1 leaderboard for Kenya (Stage 2): The Hillclimbs on V-Rally 4 are also excellent. I think V-Rally 4 is one of those underrated games that gets missed in the mainstream, and I hope makes it into V-Rally 5. I was pleasantly surprised! After playing V-Rally 4 again for a while, it's once again part of my regular game playing. Since I was playing WRC 8, I didn't want to backtrack into WRC 7, so I loaded up V-Rally 4 for the first time in months. V-Rally 4 has the same basic handling and visual styles as WRC 7. The Monte Carlo tracks in WRC 7, for example, are very pretty but very different than WRC 8 to the point they look and play like different games. The styles in WRC 7 and V-Rally 4 are quite different than WRC 8, but just as beautiful in their own way. Once I had WRC 8 for a while, I realized that I missed WRC 7 and V-Rally. I had stopped playing V-Rally in favor of Dirt 4 and other games. It is beautiful to play, very challenging, and just as unforgiving as WRC 8 and WRC 7. V-Rally 4 is an underrated game, in my opinion.
