For me, nothing comes close to the MG Metro 6R4 in EA WRC. There’s just something about how it just clicks with my driving style, along with that amazing sounding naturally aspirated V6. I can’t describe it, there’s just a mutual agreement between me and the car where it just works 🤣

Anyone else have a similar thing in other games or even EA WRC?

That's brave - I tend towards sequential (or even "put it on auto") on the faster, more powerful cars - my reactions are not quite what they used to be :)

I'll probably give the EA one a go at some point on the future, but they recently added an anticheat thing to block it working on Linux (which all my computers use). I guess that'll be fixed eventually.

As stupid as it sounds, I forget which gear I'm in when I use sequential, and spend more time pissing around trying to look at which one I'm in. With manual, I at least have that physical, muscle confirmation as to which I'm in and can make a split second decision as to which I need next. I'm probably just not used to sequential, but I still don't get the enjoyment out of it I guess. That's entirely personal preference though.

Yeah this was a bit of a dick move by EA (intentional or not). A friend of mine also had to write off the game for this exact reason.
