Colin McRae Rally 1 Apprciation Rally-Interest check?

[tannat]

With the recent thread I thought it might be cool to have a one-off 'appreciation rally' for a game which is, obviously, still well-respected amongst us.

The rally would be competed amongst the WRC cars only (Subaru Legacy, Ford Escort, Mitsubishi Lancer, Toyota Corolla). It would involve ALL stages of New Zealand, Sweden, and Corsica (the three surfaces:gravel, snow, and tarmac) for a total of 19 stages (I'm thinking roughly 45 minutes total game time) and default settings (accoding to my game guide there are recommended settings for default, so it's not like you're driving Corsica with suspension settings better suited for Greece).

What do you guys think? If the interest is there I was thinking times due Friday, September 14th.


If interested place your entry as follows:

Tannat
Ford Escort WRC
Repsol World Rally Team

Tannat, is there an easy way to get this game running on XP? I've tried the patch and nothing works...

[cyborg_hun]

There is such an old game, i havent met a computer for ages, that i can start the game on it :(
I really sorry!

Your fans can't wait to find out.... :p

[I am evil Homer]

I'll dig the game out and have a go too - team up with Racer69 at Ford :)

[Juha]

I'll be using a Mitsubishi, an unpopular choice apparantly. :)

Is there a shakedown?

[tannat]

WELCOME BACK HOMER!

For diversity's sake, I'll swap to a Toyota.

If anyone would like to suggest a shakedown stage, please do so.

I've not even loade the game :D

[tannat]

No times yet...

You guys still up for this?

[racer69]

She's definatly on?

I'll get the times to you as soon as possible :)

[Ramore]

Do you know how to start the game in XP. I downloaded a patch for XP, but it doesn't work at all.

Sorry, Ramore. I play on a console...

[Rat]

Ramore, I downloaded a patch for the game and it works. i got it via the CMRforum site. Just look in the search for the patch and follow the directions.

[tannat]

I'll extend the deadline to midnight Sunday..

Thanks, now it's working. But now I have another problem, the game doesn't recognize my video card, and it is really slow. Anyways, obviously I will not part of that race.

[Rat]

thanks tannat, I'll be there. got mine working b4 my holiday.

[Pawprint]

I have hardly played this game after I lost the memory file, so I still have the rallies locked :(

[jso1985]

the cheat for all trakcs for the PS version is OPENROADS as player name

[Rat]

cant play, it wont load in time, good luck all

[tannat]

Sorry to hear it, Rat..

I'd love to hear requests for extensions or intentions to participate...

Time are due at midnight (although I've not received any....)

[Rat]

I'll try again tomorrow. thanks for the reply.

[jso1985]

Just finished my rally, felt like doing a little tribute to Colin and use the Subaru Impreza.
My times were quite bad anyway, the car slides much more than in CMR2

[tannat]

the car slides much more than in CMR2


I think I prefer it that way...

Hoping someone other than myself and jso are participating :(

[Juha]

If you extend the deadline with 24 hours then I can finish the last rally and send my times. Real life rallying took a bit more time then expected this week. :D

Done!

[Pawprint]

Hey, thanks for that.


Ill see if I can get them done some day soon, but it seems somewhat unlikely. Hey, Ill not do too good anyways, so no threats!

[Juha]

I finished. :D

The comments were "where did it go wrong?", "oh well, better luck next time", ... not a brilliant drive. :D France didn't go too bad but I just couldn't follow the expert times. Sweden wasn't too bad and New Zealand sucked because I always slip off.

[tannat]

Sadly, only 3 competitors (myself, Juha, and jso1985). I'll beputting up individual stage times throughout the day and finish with overall results.

OOPS! He took Stage one in New Zeland as well :D

Narrow victory for Tannat in Corsica:

1-Tannat- 16:54.24
2-Juha- 16:56.65
3-jso1985-17:23.31

[tannat]

Preserverance over the gravel, mud, and snow paid off for Tannat who was victorious in his Corolla. Good battle for second between Juha and jso1985 with the Mitsubishi taking an average of less than a second over every stage of the rally.

THANKS FOR PARTICIPATING!!

[tannat]

I may host a very small CMR1 championship with the beginning of the rally season next year. Nothing at all like jso1985s machine, but perhaps just 6 stages per rally, with results reported as I did for this event.

[Juha]

I should pay more attantion when writing everything down. :p

Congrats to you Tannat.

Congrats to you Tannat.

You should see my scribble-no worries.

Good rally, and good run on tarmac, Juha :up:

[jso1985]

started winning and ended up winning...

what came in the middle deserves no comment :p :
