Got myself an old rally car and entered it into some of the beginner races. It was the lowest spec I have yet to try, but should probably put up a good fight against modern cars. I drive the Nissan Bluebird rally car. It was not one of the DLC, but one you can buy in the showroom. During the updating of the versions a credit drop was given out, so I had enough to buy a nice car or two. This one was on the cheaper side, but I feel like many of the rally cars would nearly lap the beginning races. So maybe later I will buy another one once I progress in this game a little bit.

Its light weight but not much horse power, so I will need to use the twisties to my advantage to gain position on some of the cars.
Starting off we get a curved section, not fully up to speed yet but I found myself passing the slower cars right away.
I work my way through the pack and pass the last few cars.
Up ahead a Prius is first place, hopefully this old rally car can catch up and pass it.
Seems like the cars take this section of the course slow, knowing this I can pass with ease.
Now just a few more cars and I will be in first, a lap down and one to go.
Making my way to second, I wait for my time to pass.
Finally on the last few hundred feet I pass the Prius. Was more work than I expected.
I got myself first with only a second to spare.
The next race I start near the back, and gonna do it all over again.
Parts of the course with many turns work to my advantage.
On the straight aways I just try to hold my own.
I am surprised this old rally car kept up as well as it did.
When it comes to the old year races hopefully this car will apply.
Now on the Streets of Willow we are out in the desert.
I miss my turning spot on a few turns and get into the dirt a little, but I recover it.
Though the next area is a straight away, and I lost all my speed messing up on that turn.
I get passed but stay close so I can gain the lead again.
Luckily I find a spot to pass and just keep my speed as high as possible through the sweeping turns.
All the work pays off and I get first, time to move onto the next course in the following video. Will post again soon.
