LSP: Colin McRae Rally 2.0 - 02 - Finland 5-7

Topic of this videos random blurb in Para 1: the Service Bay. Before each odd-numbered stage in a Rally you can tweak various parts of the car to suit the situation as per your requirements, or to repair the vehicle of any damage it has sustained. Any actions taken here take time, and you cannot spend more than 60 of the minutes you are given. Later games allowed you to exceed this limit at the cost of penalizing your next Stage time by a hefty amount. The first half of Day 2 is pretty generous with encouraging fast driving, and overall these two are some of the easier stages to gain a big lead over the AI. However as mentioned before the promotion of fast driving also promotes the risk of sliding off the track and breaking stuff... and, well, Sector 8 of Stage 5 says it all. Stage 6 is similar, however it has another one of those Problem Points... around the Sector 2 checkpoint there's a sweeping right turn over a hill... and if you take this at speed there's a colossal area of land on the far side that you will end up flying into and losing a hell of a lot of time on should you attack it aggressively. Stage 7's first half is practically impossible to outrun the AI on, especially Sector 3 and its Problem Point: a series of jumps that are immediately followed by a sweep to the left... and a rock placed with military precision. I try my best to evade the thing but even then it still knocks me for six.
