The championship with this classic game is back again for it's 7th season!

There's a slight change in the championship, most of you already know it, but here's the changes again:

The Constructors Championship is scrapped to make room for the Teams Championship, meaning now more than one team can drive the same car and still scores points, this also makes dissapear the "privateer" tag on any driver.

All teams are limited to 2 drivers, both of them can score team points.

So now choose a car from this list(CMR2 counterpart on brackets) and fill the entry list!

Citroën Xsara(Ford Focus)
Ford Focus
Subaru Impreza
SEAT Cordoba
Toyota Corolla
Suzuki SX4(Peugeot 206)
Peugeot 307(Peugeot 206)
Mitsubishi Lancer
Citroën Xsara(SEAT Cordoba)

The rules say that the Skoda skin has to replace a Mitsubishi.

But the rules also say that Sweden is 3 day rally, that we are now in 2006, a page further it says we are now in 2004, day 1 is intermediate level and day 2 is expert level, ... Jso, update those rules in a correct way will you, you're worse than the FIA. :p

I've finally found a way to play the game on my PC without crashing out because I lose control of the car. It seems that when I try to turn, I have to do it in parts, release the button three times in a corner. It's fast but annoying and most of all; my thumbs feel worse than after a playstation marathon. :p : The only cars that are really enjoyable are those who have no 4WD. Seems I'll have to get myself a steering wheel. :D

Hi Dumb.

The CMR2 competition is run offline, and no proof is needed. You run the races and PM your times to jso1985.

The new season will begin with the Monte Carlo Rally in late January. You can sign up with a team or just race as a privateer if you like.

Hope I've helped.

Hiya Steve.

To get all the cars in the game, for the PC cheat it is " allthebuttons ", and for PS it is " onecarefulowner "

You'll have noticed the cars not included in the game , if you are on the PC version it's possible to download cars. The best site for car downloads is here - http://www.colinmcrae.110mb.com/cmr2.htm

There you can download up-to-date Lancers, Impreza's, Xsara's, Focus', 307, Fabia's...list goes on.

For people on PS1 need to be a little more imaginative, and new cars in the WRC at the moment have game counterparts, eg. the 206 can pretend as a Suzuki SX4 or a Citroen C4.

Hope this helps
Will

Why Suzuki get's better numbers than us? and we're driving the C4 not the Xsara, thank you very much :hmph: :p

welcome to the championship dumb and DarkAchon! you can read the full rules at http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/cmr2wc/ you will need to register and wait until I aprove your registration(wich should happen no more than 48 hours after you sign up)

Juha
16th December 2007, 18:49
Because tannat finished third this year and you fourth. :p :D

Every team is ranked following the 2007 championship results of their drivers. Marcel won so he gets car 1, cyborg hasn't shown up yet so car 2 goes to the third man, tannat. The news boys are ranked in chronological order of entry. :)

jso1985
16th December 2007, 18:53
But it's the Manufacturers standings the one that determine the numbers(except for who gets number 1)!

so should be
1-2 The team where Marcel Haenen will be
3-4 Subaru official team
4-5 Ford official team
6-7 Toyota official team
8-9 Skoda official team
10-11 Suzuki official team
and then the new teams

Juha
16th December 2007, 18:57
It doesn't count as we're starting off with new teams. :p : And who decides which team is the official Ford team?

Oh well, at least I'll have a 1 on my door... :D

UKOG~Will
16th December 2007, 19:11
Damn. Just made the Subaru livery with different numbers.

6 for me and 7 for Ramore, but that's changed now :P

Juha
16th December 2007, 19:24
I can't even make one. Now I'm finally playing on PC, I find myself in the only car for which no textures have yet been created. Tannat, want to drive a 307 instead? :D

Photoshop isn't installed here so I can't design one myself either. Can anyone turn a Fabia texture into a Suzuki one? They look quite similar. I don't need much, basically just a white Fabia with Shel, Suzuki and SX4 on it, like this one:

If you feel motivated you can make the headlights larger, put floriscent orange numbers on the side, my name on the car,... but it doesn't matter much, it's fine as long as the rear looks like Suzuki and all the Skoda badges are gone. :D

UKOG~Will
18th December 2007, 19:38
Ok , once you've downloaded the skins, you copy+paste them into

C:/ -> Program Files -> Codemasters -> Colin McRae Rally 2 -> Game -> Cars

If you want to install the cars so you can use the liveries in the SSS too then copy the (car)a1.bfl and rename it to (car)c1.bfl

Replace (car) with foc, sub, sea, pum, whatever car you want to replace in the game.

No problems at all Frozzy, the reason for that is because you probably have your game set to lo-res skins. Go to Options->Graphics and find the option for Detail, and where it says Car - slide to high. ;)

Handling isn't superb but that's the best part of the car, you have to change your way of driving a bit. The car being RWD makes sure your always have high RPM so plenty of power. :D

REALLY getting jealous of you PC guys with your skins.....

Aye... so am I.

As a second driver, consistency will be my requirement over speed this season, and I hope I can deliver for Rat, but inexpirience may be a problem on some of the events earlier in the season.

A maybe stupid question: why CMR2 and not CMR 3?
I have them both, but i like the 3 better.

UKOG~Will
3rd January 2008, 19:11
Cos CMR3 is total poo compared to CMR2 :) LOL ;)

Cmr2 offers a wider variety of competition and more people can enter as it runs on older systems (Pc's) and people with the original Playstation :D

For me CMR2 is better as it has newer mods available for it.

Been awhle since I played CMR3, but if I remember correctly the only WRC car available is the Focus.

No fun with everyone driving a Focus

Using the mirrored functions there are a lot more stages in CMR2.

The graphics are far superior in CMR3, but it falls way short in terms of car and stage variety.

And I just like the subjective 'feel' of CMR2. When I'm in championship mode it feels like a true WRC championship.

Not so with CMR3...

Magnus
4th January 2008, 09:27
Ok; you have convinced me :)
One thing which is a little annoying with CM2 is the extremely wide roads though...
When it comes to handling, I think I am a better driver in CM3. Hmm...
I guess I have to start training :)

Ok, I have reinstalled the CM2; can I join in for the championship 2008?
Am I free to pick any car?
Does it matter if I for example use a 206 instead of a newer car or do I have to drive with a "new" car?
I thought I would compete as a privateer under the name Curtans Motorsport.

For privateers is Pug206 OK, just teams should use newest cars, I think.
Maybe somebody should post here the new list of cars and substitutions.

Two Basses (http://www.twobasses.cz/) is the name of the band that my teammate NOR plays in. He wanted to promote it trough a sponsorship on our cars, so yet another odd sponsor has made it onto the WRC scene. :D

Hi guys, several years ago I did a one-off round (I think it was the Acropolis) with a Peugeot 206 entered by RallyBase Racing - and finished a very distant last. But I was happy with having finished at all as I started playing the game only a few weeks before. I recently re-installed CMR2 on my PC and I'd like to compete on selected rounds this year, time permitting.

So I might run my own private team, or maybe somebody wants the RallyBase sponsorship and makes me an offer to use a second car in his team? ;)

Juha

It's about the fun you have, not the results. ;)

Magnus
16th January 2008, 05:42
I might offer you a position in my team. Looking at your achievements you should probably fit right in :)
My main sponsor is somewhat reluctant though to give his name up after having put so much money into the project, but if your are willing to spread the name of Curtans Motorsport througout the world and solemely swear to perform your offs out of no particular reason at all, and also adhear to the idea that it is better go wide than go fast, you are welcome to join.

The entry list can be updated then, two Peugeot 206 WRCs for Curtans RallyBase Motorsport it's going to be.

RallyBase.nl is pleased to announce a deal with Curtans Motorsport from Sweden which allows a second Peugeot 206 WRC driven by RallyBase.nl owner Kabouter to partner the teams regular driver Magnus on selected rounds of the 2008 CMR2 World Rally Championship. Kabouter has competed on one WRC round in the past and has this to say about the present deal: "The partnership between RallyBase.nl and Curtans Motorsport is an ideal opportunity for RallyBase.nl to be associated with the dynamic world of CMR2 World Championship rallying. We are competing just for fun and are not aiming too high for our return to competition after a long absence. Finishing events and enjoying the whole experience will be our main goal this season. We would like to thank Magnus and Curtans RallyBase for this offer and are looking forward to a successful cooperation."

Do you still have space for newcomers? I just noticed that there are not any drivers from Finland yet. I would like correct that and participate the championship with my 5 years old son Tuomo with two Peugeot 307's. My son is young, but he drove CMR2 first time when he was 2 years. I am still faster (if you don't count team orders ;) ), but he's developing very quickly.

That sounds good. New family team, new Finland's drivers, new Pugs307. The season is going to be very nice crowded.

Had an embarassing test on Monte stage 17 (Sweden SS7 mirrored with wet tarmacs):

6 seconds off last years time :(

Got some work to do

I was up for some testing today aswell, but my, errm... lets say there was a crack in the windscreen reflecting the light in such a bad way that nothing could be seen. I thus have to fix a new windscreen... Hmm...
I hope the other half of Curtans RallyBase Motorsport is doing better :)

OOPs Monte, forgot to get testing...What's everyone using? tarmac on snow? Dirt tyres on snow? does it matter which stage I use?

Think we are limited to wet tarmac only on sweden stages for the monte. Free choice on the italy stages

Monte uses mirrored italy and sweden stages

I've been testing in France. Since adopting a new set-up I've been improving significantly on my stage times on tarmac. However the Monte Carlo roads are slightly trickier and I haven't done any snow testing for several months, so don't expect too much of me...

By the way, because my membership of the Yahoo Group hasn't been approved yet I cannot read the rules of the competition. Are there any testing bans in place?

No testing bans whatsoever...Rallies are to be done in single rally mode with no restarts.

Important Monte Rules: for the sweden stages wet tarmac tires only are allowed. It's a good idea to have a go at these stages so equipped so that the lack of grip doesn't catch you off guard :D

An addtional Monte rule also applicable for the Sweden round: no cutting across the drifts on the frozen lake stage (SS2)

performed my first test of the season in Sweden in light snow conditions which was unexpected as the weather crew had predicted sunny spells but was a productive session in the good ol' fabia

But you can still win plenty of time by doing it(not that I have done it :angel: :p )

Back now guys(I wasn't on jail just for the record, don't buy the dirty propaganda Tannat makes on his atempt to take over the FIA presidency)

As for the stage-by-stage results, main problem is that I know almost nothing about excel files and stuff, unless someone can teach me something that could help me, the results will take longer to be published when having big entry lists

If the format is the same, I can easily make a tool for you which calculates the stage-by-stage results with a single press on the button. But I have to know what the exact format is and everyone should use it and leave it like that.

Rat
22nd January 2008, 12:28
Marcel, I've used the same format to calculate my times since rallying with you e.g. 2:56.78
It's easy to use..

22nd January 2008, 13:39
If we want to use the Time Card from Yahoo files, there is format 2:56,78

The , or . as decimal seperator is determined by the regional settings of your computer. In most parts of europe we use the dot as decimal seperator, but I believe in the UK and US the comma is used. But I can arrange something in the program to correct this automatically. I'll try to get it working as soon as possible, but can't promise I'll have it in time for the Monte.

NOR
22nd January 2008, 15:19
I think comma or dot is just set in the excel Time Card file, no matter on regional settings. Because I'm using normaly dot in Czech Rep. or in Norway, but our Time Card accept only comma.

Not having the greatest of tests (Sweden/wet tarmacs) in the Suzuki..

Absolutely can not get the end of the car to come around..even with the handbrake and -3 brake bias

The car seems doomed to understeer with the lack of grip from wet tarmacs on snow

Maybe we'll focus on being fast on day 1 (Italy mirrored)
