Subaru To Not Enter Will Into French Rally

Subaru have announced today that British Rally Championship driver Will is not going to be driving in the French rally to save funds for the British rally later this year. The World Championship rookie took part in his first WC event last week in Spain, in a BRC-spec Impreza and fared badly, down the order on the WC drivers.

[Exhausted]

A beautiful sunrise covered the island as I entered the corsican shakedown stage this morning, and I feel quite confident coming straight from the raindrenched but trouble free Spanish rally.

01:14.90
01:14.49
01:13.33
01:12.34
01:10.82

[Marcel Haenen]

Marcel Haenen finished shakedown

this totally different style of tarmac needs a slightly different setup as we used in Catalunya. After a couple of runs we got it right and even set a PB on the stage:
1 1m03.88s
2 1m04.86s
3 1m02.92s
4 1m02.62s
5 1m02.69s

setup used:
GB -1
SU +4
DR +1/+2
BB 0
BP +3
ST +5

[tannat]

Press Release: In a shocking move, Team Red Bull Ford has released driver Tannat from his team obligations for the Tour de Corse to drive the Suzuki WRC entry in its debut rally.

In a statement from M-sport boss Malcolm Wilson:

"We are happy to assist Suzuki in their initial run with their WRC entry. Tannat's successful Junior WRC career owes much to Suzuki, and this is one way he can repay them."

"Ford currently lies third for the manufacturers championship, and feels no pressure from the other entries. We are confident the loss of Tannat for a single rally will not affect our year-end placing."


When contacted Tannat had this to say:

"I look forward to hitting the stages in the Suzuki WRC this weekend. They were very good to me in my Junior WRC days, and I feel confident they have constructed a car capable of great things in the future. We will be cautious, as this is an excellent opportunity to gain performance data under true rally conditions."

[Ramore]

Where did you get the Suzuki from? Which current car is it going to replace?

P.S. Good luck with your new team

[Will L]

Wow, nice one Tannat! Where'd you get a Suzuki from?? ;)

[tannat]

Wow, nice one Tannat! Where'd you get a Suzuki from?? ;)

I'm on a PS1, so I'm playing "make-believe" with the Pug 206.

Just a one-off-I'm back in the Ford for the next rally ;)

[Rat]

OY, Tannat! What's going on? You bailing on us? Just 1 Rally, mmm sounds like a new Factory drive coming up for next year...

[tannat]

OY, Tannat! What's going on? You bailing on us? Just 1 Rally, mmm sounds like a new Factory drive coming up for next year...

I don't think so, Rat.
I spent the last two seasons behind the Pug in various forms ( 1 year Fabia, 1 year 307).

Not certain where I am headed for next year. May stick with Ford. How about you?

[I am evil Homer]

I hope to join...all depends on the postman getting my new copy of CMR2 to me in time. I managed to scratch my last disk!

[Exhausted]

I will be doing this round in a Ford Focus WRC '05.

Hope the Ford guys are ok with that!

[Will L]

Nice one Exhausted and homer ;)

[I am evil Homer]

Could you extend the deadline until the Friday? Don't think the game will make it until mid-next week, so I want use this event as a practice run and then join in the CMR2 fun full time next season :)

[jso1985]

no problems from me to extend the deadline, unless another driver complains I can extend the deadline until friday.

to Exhausted: private or works Ford?

[tannat]

Wasted a great deal of the morning with an incorrect setup, and was getting quite frustrated actually:

1:13.88
1:11.63
1:12.08

Car was all over the place and difficult to point. Then we hybridized Marcel's settings with a bit of ours and became golden:

1:08.51
1:07.53

This stage is a bit atypical of the French stages (more Italy-like IMHO), but enjoyable nonetheless.

Did recce on stages 1-3 and set new PBs, or near PBs on every stage :up:

Hoping for a podium, and perhaps to rattle Cyborg Hun's cage a bit :D

I'd love to see him in a works entry as I'm Suzuki-ing for this round...

Works please! :D

Thanks Tannat! And good luck with the new car!

Thanks Tannat! And good luck with the new car!

Score us some good points, and keep Rat on his toes!

Looks great man!

[Rat]

Got some good times at last:
1:13.91
1:16.02
1:14.01
1:15.24
1:14.47

Tannat, I may bail to Toyota next year. I've had a decent offer from them to drive next year. Malcolm Wilson is not happy after the last rally. I bent the Focus a 'little' bit....

[Exhausted]

Thanks Will and Marcel :D

[Juha]

1.13.74

I though that was decent untill i saw Marcel's time. 1.12 is possible but cutting ten seconds of that, no thanks. :D

[Ramore]

My best time from the SD was 1:06.XX, but it was probably the best run on that stage that I can do, ever. I just can't imagine how to do 1:02.xx.

BTW, I am trying to edit a car, but don't know how to open the .dds file and exactly which one to open. Any tips would be appreciated.

It ran fab- and the graphics were a few steps up from my PS1. I'll have to look into getting an ebay cop.

When I got the game installed and running I noticed a sizeable change in quality of the graphics, it is so much better on my laptop than the PlayStation. ;)

Well, I could probably do a 1.06 with my eyes closed ;)
If you guys don't believe me, I could shoot a video from a run on this stage tonight

[I am evil Homer]

Right....the game turned up from eBay today so I will definitely take part :)

Anyone want a driver in their team? I haven't played this game for a long time so not expecting much, but I remember liking the Focus, Subbbe and 206.

What skin does the Skoda Fabia use? I might go for that.

Welcome to the championship!

There is an opening at Skoda, in fact there is 2 as my teammate seems to have left the championship!

The skoda skin has been made for a couple of different cars, but most of them replaces the Seat.

Go here to find a buch of cool new cars:

Ok, I will shoot a video tonight.
I used ghost files from faster drivers on hotlaps.de to improve my driving. Just took a ghost which was 2s faster than me and tried to follow it. If you keep doing this you'll eventually get faster and faster. Unfortunately the hotlaps server is currently online, but I gues I could give you my ghost files as well. I'll share them as well tonight.

No, don't get me wrong, I believe you. I am sure you can even do better. I am just mad at myself. The video is a very good idea, we can learn from the best.

There is no rule about replacement with the exact one? According to champ rules I did Skoda for P206 :rolleyes:

it's a divx type, it should be playable in media player. It's a quite crappy quality, but i didn't know how the divX converter tool works and the original was 133MB big..
In this folder you can also find a zip file with all of my ghost files. Just put them in your replays folder, turn the ghost car on and try to follow the ghost in time trial mode. as soon as you ended the stage you're run will be the next ghost. As long as you don't break your PB my ghost will come back after returning to the car setup screen. Good luck!

Marcel Haenen finishes rally France

The car worked perfectly all weekend and the balance was very good. The car lacks some power but this leads normally in smoother driving and doesn't cost a lot of time. Just like in Catalunya, we were on the limit all weekend as we need to win to cut the gap to Cybirg_hun and keep or fingers crosses he makes a mistake on one of the three other rallies left this season.

[Exhausted]

I don't see anything different there :s

The "Swedish Rally" logo originally found in the game has been replaced with the actual logo of the "Uddeholm Swedish Rally". No big deal, but fun for a rally-geek like me.

[Exhausted]

At last a Rally with almost no rain!! The roads remained dry on all but 2 stages, and combined with a great effort made to keep my driving smooth the Focus only got a few knocks and dents here and there, and a couple of new PBs were set too!

I'm off to Japan as I need to do some work on the loose stuff!

[Juha]

I've finished my first WRC rally on tarmac for a very long time. My preparation was not bad but there is a lot of room for improvement of my times. I made a mistake with the tyres, my weather crew said "rain on stage 7 wich will dry out on stage 8." Those bloody idiots had forgotten to tell me it would only dry out on the last corner of stage 8. :mad: It resulted in nice drifts and me using the walls to slow the car down. :D Apart from that it was nice and I'm aiming for last place. :D

[I am evil Homer]

Completed my shakedown (game arrived late ;) ) in the Skoda Fabia WRC06 run by Team Valvoline:

1:18.91...very bad run, just getting used to the stage
1:17.02...few "incidents" decided to change the set up for next run
1:15.01 now we're talking :)
1:14.02... :D

I will try to do the rally today, hopefully by the end of the day I will post my times, if that is not a problem, because if I am correct the deadline is 12 AM right? or 12 PM?

[Marcel Haenen]

deadline is 12 AM, so you still have 4 minutes left :D
but I guess it shouldn't be to big if a problem if you send them later this evening. Just contact javier.

I was given an extension until Friday...I hope that's still okay. I'll do the event tonight after work.

Here's my ride for the weekend:
white Focus



Hi, you made a very nice car. Did you use white template from cmr.110mb.com ? How I should work with the .jpg file, just save it as .dds?

[Exhausted]

Hi, you made a very nice car. Did you use white template from cmr.110mb.com ?

Thanks!!

The Focus template found on cmr.110mb.com is a re-color of a skin made by http://kazhol.superhost.pl, so the quality is not 100%!

I have the original white Focus skin from Kazol Team Design (amazing quality), and that is what I have used for my car.


How I should work with the .jpg file, just save it as .dds?

First of all, did you figure out how to extract and re-pack the Focus ´01 file found in the Colin McRae Rally 2 > Game > Cars Folder?

The file you need is called foca1.bfl and that contains the 41 file files used to make the skin.

Once you have edited the .jpg that you have, you'll need to re-pack it into the foca1.bfl file..

Do ask away if you have more questions!

Thanx for reply. Yeah, I have tried extract .bfl and just see in Photoshop all the .dds files used for skin. The quality of .jpg is what I worry about, so could you send me please your white version by email? Or have you more white skins? I'm going to spend some evenings with Photoshop doodles.

[Exhausted]

The quality of .jpg is what I worry about.

I never use the .jpg format, as it is very lossy, it will only get worse for each time you save the file, and it doesn't support Layers.

.psd is the main format for me


could you send me please your white version by email? Or have you more white skins?

Sure, PM me your email address!

I say assign Homer a time that maintains his overall position finish-wise according to the results up to the completion of stage 9 on day 2.

[I am evil Homer]

Got to get my times in first!!! I'll take the slowest time maybe? or average time..isn't that what they do in WRC.

Despite this set back I will continue with the Skoda for 2007 and then assess the 08 options in full.

[Will L]

Don't they have average time + 5minutes in Superrally anyway :D LMAO

[Ramore]

I am sorry, I won't be able to do this really. I have pretty tough exams next week. Lately I have been living in the uni's library, literaly, so I am quite tired when I get home and probably won't do a decent rally anyway.

you will get super-rally nominal times, wich is on a short stage +30 secs of the fastest time.

but to do that I need your times first!

No, they keep the orginal car's physics, but they are just basically re-painted or the model is edited. No performance change anyway ;)

Shouldn't Juha, NOR ans IAEH, have their results posted by themselves in the Privateer championship?

[Juha]

5th, not bad. :)

Nope, all drivers wheter they are works or privateers compete in the drivers championship, what privateers can't is score manufacturers points.
We used to have a privateers championship but it was dropped last year

[Will L]

On the download listings, there's a link just to the right, saying "Preview"

Or if you click a download, there's a link down a bit too.

[Pawprint]

No more of this , hijacking jso's thread. Leave it to the actual thread Exhausted set up, shall we! :D

[jso1985]

I Am Evil Homer has been DQ due failing to provide stage times

[jso1985]

stage-by-stage results are no available at the yahoo group, here's some rally stats:

- Stage wins: Marcel Haenen 18
- Rally leaders: SS1-SS18: Marcel Haenen
- A rally without almost any fight for positions, after Juha took 4th place from Jso1985 on SS4, all drivers held their places until the end of the rally
