the game the sport

Rallying is one of the world’s most
exciting sporting spectacles – no
other motor sport offers its fans such
a close-up view of their heroes at
work. And unlike most other motor
sport events, cars race against the
clock rather than directly against each
other, going off at one minute
intervals along individual tracks,
known as stages. But these are no
ordinary tracks. Although some
stages are run on tarmac, World
Championship racers can also expect
to encounter an array of different
surfaces from ice and snow through
to sand, mud and gravel.

Rally drivers race at all times of the
day and in all weathers. They are
backed up by co-drivers: highly
specialised navigators who call
corners, distances and hazards and
allow the driver to concentrate on
getting the maximum performance
from his or her car.

available countries. Only Finland is

a specially constructed dual-circuit track.

mode. Each round of the tournament
consists of head-to-head races between
two drivers.

Championship points are awarded at the
end of each rally as follows:

randomly in each round of the
tournament.
Challenge can be played by up to 8
people (in rounds), with split-screen
used when two players need to race
against each other.

internet play is possible, performance over
the web will be seriously diminished.

creating a session

option availability

leaderboard

results screen

To begin a multiplayer game of Colin
McRae Rally 2.0™, someone must ‘host’
a
session.
First
choose
NETWORK from the main menu, then
load or create a player profile. Choose a
service provider from the available list
and on the next screen, choose to
CREATE NEW game. The host may then
declare a password to secure the session, although this is not a
requirement. Next set up the
session options, such as game mode,
maximum number of players, KICK OUT
TIME (see Kick Out) and LOAD
LEADERBOARD (see Leaderboard).
Depending on the game mode, the host
can alter several mode setup
options before proceeding to the
WAITING ROOM.

The host will only have access to the
countries and stages that they have
unlocked in their one player game,
however players will be able to join a
host’s game regardless of their
unlock status.

Loaded or newly created leaderboards
will be saved automatically at the end of
the race. This will record the current
player details, position and points etc.
If the host wishes to continue this
session at a later date they can load this
leaderboard and continue where they left
off. It is possible for a new player to join a
loaded leaderboard, though they have to
start in last position. If a player doesn’t
wish
to
continue,
their
score
is preserved on the leaderboard
in case they wish to play again in
the future.

At the end of a race the players are
presented with a results screen.
Network games use a different scoring
system, as follows: -

chat

The scores are tallied across
the session on the LEADERBOARD
(see Leaderboard).

joining a session

kick out time

First choose NETWORK from the Main
Menu. Load or create a player profile
then choose a service provider from the
list. On the next screen highlight a
session and JOIN it. If a session
password is required you will be
prompted for it. All players will then
proceed to the WAITING ROOM.

Once the winner crosses the finish line
they often have to wait for everybody
else to finish before moving on to the
next race. To prevent waiting too long,
the host may set a kick out time. The
moment the winner finishes, the kick out
time will start counting down. When it
reaches zero the race will end for all
players, regardless of position.

waiting room
On this screen, players choose their car
and transmission. In the waiting room all
players can see the current player and
car list for their session. They can also
CHAT (see Chat). When they are
satisfied with their choices, each player
must change their start option to
READY; when all players have indicated
READY, the host can start the session.

Chat is available in the waiting room and
at the end of a race on the results screen.
To chat, move the cursor into the empty
chat box, type in your message and
hit ENTER.

on screen display
When racing, the on screen information
will differ from mode to mode. It will often
contain different data to the non-network
mode equivalent.

You cannot pause the game in Network

damaged parts. You can also view
information on the coming stages and
the weather forecast for the day.
Each Service Area has an allotted time in

Service Area halfway through the day.

set-up
At the first Service Area of a rally before the start of the first stage - the car
has a set-up that is adequate for that
country’s stages. But it is no more than
adequate. You should study the stage
information at each Service Area and
change the set-up where appropriate to
get the most effective performance from
your car.

Each alteration to the set-up takes
up some of the time allotted at the
Service Area.
You can set up the following parts

co-driver calls

examples

In addition to the symbols appearing on
screen, you will hear the co-driver calls.
He will call the severity of the corner and
then the distance to it. If a corner comes
very soon after the current one, you
will hear "and" or "into" rather than
a distance.

care this section is hazardous

crest a rise in the road that obscures
the route beyond

narrows the road becomes narrower

The co-driver will also give you more
detailed information where necessary:

jump a rise in the road that will propel the
car into the air if driven over at speed

don’t cut do not cut across the apex
of the corner

long this is a long, progressive corner

straight take a straight line through the
coming bends

is

"100, 4 Right" - a fairly tight turn 100
metres away.

you drive through it

"70, 2 Left And 6 Right" - a very tight left
hand bend 70 metres away, followed by a
flat out right hand bend.

Various types of hazard will also
be indicated, along with upcoming
surface changes

"30, Turn 3 Left, Care Rocks Outside" - a
tight left hand corner at a junction with
some dangerous rocks on the outside of
the bend.
"6 Crest" - it’s safe to go flat out over
this crest. There is no corner directly
after it.

driver profiles

Players can create a saved custom
driver profile; this contains their identity
and a record of their best performances,
trophies, configuration preferences and
bonus cars won.

viewing profiles

Upon selecting Drivers from the main
menu, you can create a new profile, load
any saved profiles or view any profiles
that have already been loaded.

You can view all the trophies you’ve
accumulated during the course of the
game. Trophies are awarded on all
difficulty levels by coming 1st (gold), 2nd
(silver) or 3rd (bronze) in Rally and Arcade
Championships and in Single Rallies.

bumper

You can look at all the information in the
driver profile, including personal best
scores and times for Championships,
Rallies and individual stages and laps.

creating a new driver profile
The Behind Car (Far) camera may be
set up according to a player’s
preferences. The height above the car,
distance behind car and tilt direction
may be altered along with a spring
parameter that affects how much the
camera swings left or right when the car
is turning.

16.0

If you choose to create a new driver
profile you must enter a three-letter ‘tag’.
This is used as your personal identifier
throughout the game (e.g. on high score
tables). You then enter your full name
and date of birth.

updating profiles
Your profile is automatically updated
whenever you return to the Main Menu.

Here are a few tips to help you on your
high-speed way:

language

cornering

general tips

Tarmac aside, you can forget the racing
line - rally cars tend to slide round
corners. As a result, it is important to
have speed coming out of a corner
rather than coming in. To do this, you
need to set the car up – brake to slow
down before the corner, not in it, and use
the throttle to control your slide and gain
grip. If you need to scrub speed in a
hurry, or swing into a sharp turn, use the
handbrake. If you skid, turn into it to
correct it. Once your car is pointing in the
right direction, get on the throttle and
power away.

Always pay attention to your co-driver.

transmission
When you feel happy with your control of
the car, switch to a manual gearbox. This
will help you maximise performance and
can help slow the car down
more quickly.

19.0

Don’t be afraid to go off the straight and
narrow in an attempt to shave seconds
off your time. But be careful – straying
from the track can prove costly if an
obstacle blocks your way.
improvise - a quick trip off the beaten
track can slow you down in an
emergency, even if it’s just a couple of
wheels for a couple of milliseconds.
know your surface – driving on Tarmac
requires vastly different techniques to
snow or mud.
watch the weather – a change in the
weather can dramatically alter both the
handling conditions and visibility.
