StAnZo\'s got WRC 2001... Mini Review Inside...

Coool, thanks for the info guys.

I also wanted to know where the rallies are held.

Are there any super stages?

Are there races in Australia etc?

Which locations are there? Backwards and mirror options?

the Rallies are held over 14 countires if you want more info goto http://www.rally-live.com/2001/en/
Here you will see photos from the rallies and interviews with drivers.. it\'s also a great source for realtime
updated stage times.. excelent resource.

There are some super stages that are only accessable through 2 player mode but...
i found it stupid in that you both start in the same lane.. in a propper sss you would both start side by side
if youv\'e played Colin Mcrae Rally then you know what i mean..

For those who aren\'t that sure then this is how it goes.. 2 drivers start in 2 seperate lanes and half way through the stage
there\'s a crossover bridge and then change lanes with each other. they carry on and do another lap in the other lane..
if i find photos i\'ll post them here..

There is a rally Australia and it\'s just before the Rally GB which was in November.

All the contries are catered for.. check.. http://www.worldrally-online.com/frames/schedules_f.asp for a dates list


also check here for plenty of good info..

Maybee i\'ll see some of you in the forests some time in the future..

Oh BTW... i don\'t believe there to be any mirrored or reverse versions of the stages.. i\'ll keep you informed...
and remember.. The WRC 2002 Begins in 8 weeks.. these guys have no rest

StAnZo

So this game is basically like the official game for the WRC???

So everything, tracks, cars, drivers etc that are in the real WRC are in the game??

Also, Stanzo, can you please read my WRC thread about high quality movies?

THANKS

Also, how many tracks are there of each country? Are they the real tracks???

Yeah Racer, it\'s the official licence.. proper drivers (Except McRae due to codemasters licencing) and cars
The tracks are based on the stages that there named after but they aren\'t the same stages..
take St.Gwyno in Wales (UK), i attended the stage and it\'s nothing like it in the game.. shame really but
if they were to do 81 \'real stages\' i believe it to be too much of a task. but they capture the environments really good

There\'s 5 stages per country and 11 super special stages (in 2plr mode)

14 Rallies X 5 = 70
70 + 11 Super Special Stages = 81 Tracks

But... There\'s a bonus section in the main menu that is blacked out.. also theres a section where you can put in
codes to unlock stuff so more tracks may be available later on.. also theres the http://www.wrc.com competition,
where you can win a Tommi Makkinen edition Evolution 5. you have to pass a licence style test (3 stages) in a
certain time.. this gives you a code for the http://www.wrc.com website.. they then give you a code to
unlock the wrc.com challenge.. i better be off and get some practise in lol.. me want that car

screenshot of prize car:

I\'m getting a really bad feeling that this game will not be released in the US.  I\'ve been looking for any evidence that a US release is planned, and I\'ve found NOTHING.  Does anyone know any more about this?  FIE!  We get half a dozen boring NASCAR games, and then the coolest Rally game I\'ve seen yet may not even make it over here.  Oh man that would be so frustrating.

Cheers for the info Stanzo.... just saw a review last night and they gave it 5 out of 5 and said its as essential a purchase for racing fans as GT3 was.... getting mi copy this Friday:)

On ign.com, it\'s release schedule has WRC coming out in the US in 2002.  No other information is required.  Well, at least you know it\'s coming out there.
