Introduction

Rallying is a popular form of motor sports. Cars run at one-minute intervals, competing against the clock rather than directly against each other.

Rally cars drive on various surfaces like mud, ice, snow, and gravel. Each surface demands specific skills and techniques. For example, gravel requires precise sliding, while tarmac requires "tidy" driving.

The co-driver, or navigator, is a vital team member. They navigate around the stages at speeds impossible without their calls for corners and hazards. Nicky Grist is Colin McRae's real-life co-driver and a key team member.

Specialized cars are needed for top-level special stage rallying. McRae's Subaru Impreza WRC, developed by Prodrive, is worth over $400,000.

It has a 300-horsepower engine, a 6-speed semi-automatic transmission, 4-wheel drive, and electro-hydraulically controlled differentials. This results in immense acceleration, going from 0-60 in a little over 3 seconds.

Now, you can enjoy the experience of European rallying.

| INTERMEDIATE | 4WD Only | All 8 | 15 |

Rally

Play a single country rally, on your own or against a friend. A rally is made up of a number of stages.

Time Trial

Time Trial allows you to play any stage of a country rally with 1 or 2 players. There are no Repair options available in Time Trial mode.

2 Player Modes

In Rally and Time Trial modes you have the option of playing against a friend. This can be done in 3 different ways.

•

Split Screen mode: Allows you to play head-to-head with your opponent represented as a ghost car.

•

Alternate mode: Allows a full screen view, where Player 1 goes first, followed by Player 2.

•

Arcade mode: A head-to-head race where collisions between cars are possible.

In all these modes you must have 2 controllers connected to your PlayStation® game console.

Race Types

Championship

A rally championship covers a whole season of rallying in 8 different countries with varying weather conditions and time of day. All countries have 6 stages (see difficulty settings) and 4 of the countries have an extra Super-Special Stage. Beat the best and gain the Championship title.

Car Selection

Choose a rally car. The availability of certain cars may be restricted due to your difficulty setting. If you are playing in Championship mode, you will stand a much better chance with one of the four major cars with 4WD; these are by far, the most powerful.

There are four major 4WD Rally cars:

•

Subaru Impreza

•

Ford Escort WRC

•

Mitsubishi Lancer

•

Toyota Corolla

Enter Your Name

For all game modes, each player is asked to enter his or her name. This name is used throughout the game and stored for any records or high scores achieved. A name can be up to 11 characters in length.

Set-Up/Repair

Before you start a rally and before certain stages of a rally, you have the option to set up your car and if necessary repair damage to parts of the car. You are allotted only a certain amount of time to perform these set-up and repair operations.

Prioritize your options based on terrain, weather and time of day for optimal performance. When you enter Set-Up/Repair mode at the start of a rally, it is preset with recommendations for that country.

You can view the up-coming stages by selecting the View option. After selecting all the options that you want to set up and repair, you must select the Continue option for these changes to take effect. The Reset option will restore the default settings and remove any changes you have made.

Setup Table

| ITEM | EFFECT | TIME |

|---|---|---|

| Tires | Amount of surface grip | 03:00 |

| Suspension | Amount of grip when cornering | 15:00 |

| Brakes | Brake balance from front to rear | 10:00 |

These weather types affect the surfaces on which you drive. For example, wet mud is much more slippery than dry mud.

Tips & Maps

CORNERING

Unlike many motor sports, rallying does not require you to take the "racing line." It is essential to "set the car up" before a corner, using brakes to slow down and the handbrake to scrub speed and swing the car into a sharp turn.

POSITION

Use as much of the track as possible, being aware of surface changes that can slow the car or change direction. Pay attention to your co-driver's advice to avoid obstacles and prepare for what's ahead, and look for the quickest route, even if unconventional.

GEAR

When confident, switch to a manual gearbox to control gear changes and optimize performance.
