-
- I) Introduction
-
- ===========================================================================
-
-
-
- driving through the streets, you come out a fast turn, you slide through
-
- it as the other drivers try to overtake you, you come out of the turn
-
- ok, but a dirt road comes up , you steer hard left and brake, and then
-
- hard right, you come over a hill , and your car goes flying, you hold
-
- your breath and land, still in first , around the corner is the finish line
-
- and the crowd ready to cheer, the 2nd place car comes up fast, its
-
- neck and neck you barely pull ahead, but he catches up.........
-
-
-
- (fictional content - not on game!)
-
-
-
- MUSIC BLARING - CARS SLIDING -
-
-
-
- SEGA rally begins.....
-
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE: if you watch the intro long enough, without anyone playing,
-
- it will show you the top 16 times for the championship race, and
-
- it will cycle through some music, some credits, and then it will
-
- show all three courses from various angles, as both cars going
-
- racing around it, you can almost get an idea of what the turns
-
- will be from them.
-
-
-
- NOTE : from here on out i will use rally, or Sega rally , instead of
-
- the full title : Sega Rally Championship 1995 (VS) INTL. (SRC 1995 VS)
-
-
-
- Rally Racing - A brief Introduction
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- Rally racing is a type of cross country racing. It is done
-
- in such a way that there are teams of drivers and cars on
-
- the pathways. The cars do not race against each other at
-
- the same time. They are timed as the reach certain checkpoints.
-
-
-
- The "Announcer" is the co-driver/navigator. At an international level, the
-
- teams will go out onto the stages around a fortnight before the rally and
-
- recce the stage in a convoy travelling at about 20-25 mph, BUT not all the
-
- teams can afford to do this so the rally organisers make pace notes
-
- available. These notes are usually of a *very* cautious nature and
-
- this is where the "HARD RIGHT MAYBE"s come into it, one driver's
-
- HARD may be another's flat out pedal to the metal. There are also
-
- some rallys where the teams just get a map and have to make their
-
- pace notes from that!
-
-
-
- ...so with S.RALLY it's as if they've got the organisers pace notes.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- II) Various questions
-
-
-
- (a)
-
- Q: What is it ?
-
- A: Sega rally is the 3rd or (whatever you want) in a series of high
-
- performance racing/driving sims that incorporates mind numbing texture
-
- mapping and polygon technology. (This is through the version 2 motherboard
-
- that was used in Daytona, however i think this was a beefed up version).
-
- basically rally is based on european rally racing, which is driving on
-
- streets through cities, forests and unpaved roads, so there ARE hills
-
- and bumps!!
-
-
-
- (b)
-
- q: how is it?
-
- a: there are many different issues which will be addressed shortly.
-
-
-
- -overall the impression is very good, it is not the quantum leap that
-
- was made from virtua racing to daytona, but is yet another step
-
- beyond daytona!
-
-
-
- -if you have never seen the prior games, be prepared for some
-
- major eye-candy, this game is probably one of the most
-
- realistic visual driving games yet..
-
-
-
- (c)
-
- q: music?
-
- a: well done, doesn't drone on like daaaaytonaaaa!
-
- different for each of the three courses, no hidden ones yet?
-
- slightly upbeat, not quite techno music. lyrics, sorry wasn't
-
- paying attention, but i know that in the intro they say
-
- rrrrrraaaaaaallllyyyy.
-
-
-
- -there are two stereo speakers to the left and right of the monitor,
-
- two small tweeters are also on the front panel.
-
-
-
- Song Titles - (but i don't which tracks they go with!)
-
- -------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1. Getting muddy
-
- 2. Power games
-
- 3. Judgement
-
- 4. End Road at Monaca
-
- 5. Ignition
-
- 6. Around Letter(?)
-
- 7. My dear friend Larry
-
-
-
- -if the volume is too loud ask the operator to turn it DOWN, since
-
- you will eventually get a headache if you play it too long, if you
-
- can't hear it, ask them to turn it up, so at least you can hear
-
- the annoying announcer...
-
-
-
- (d)
-
- q: ranking out 10 point scale? ( compared to other sega games)
-
- a: speed/graphics : 9.5 (nothing is 10 yet)
-
- gameplay : 8.0 (9 is daytona,7 is virtua racing)
-
- difficulty : 7.0 (9 is daytona, 8 is virtua racing)
-
- handling : 8.5 (9 is virtua racing, 7 is daytona)
-
-
-
- overall : 8.25 /10
-
-
-
- -my impressions of course!
-
- -i don't know where ridge racer, and ace driver would go on the scale
-
- because those are from namco(c).
-
-
-
- (e)
-
- q: speed of graphics?
-
- a: yes, the graphics refresh rate, and frame rate is higher than daytona,
-
- (possibly 60fps?) and even ridge racer and ace driver. there are NO popup
-
- problems thati could detect, but could that be due to sega creating
-
- courses with all kinds of turns to hide the redraws? remember sega is
-
- already working on the saturn conversion!
-
-
-
- [ authors note : saturn conversion done as of 11/25/95 ]
-
-
-
- -your field of view in the car, is about the same as daytona , and the
-
- above/behind view also has a similar field of view.
-
-
-
- -plenty of anti-aliasing on the road textures, and plenty of different
-
- ones, in fact, from the in-car view the lower 1/8 of the screen
-
- is also blurred and anti-aliased to create a new texture.
-
-
-
- -the road has various random patches like real ones, and not
-
- the generic randomized nascar roads.
-
-
-
- -plenty of polygon people , animals, and other objects too numerous
-
- to mention.
-
-
-
- -you can see through the windows of other cars (transparent windows)
-
- and see the other drivers!!!!!!!!! or even other cars...
-
-
-
- (ee)
-
- bugs bugs bugs - in two player , there was plenty of polygon dropout
-
- when the cars were close together.. ie. they were behind you, and you
-
- are in behind the car mode - come on Sega can't you get that fixed yet????
-
-
-
- - lots of random dot color mismatches on road textures, ie. blue dots
-
- all over the easy road in the dirt
-
-
-
- - polygon dropout when computer cars are near you, not just the second
-
- player
-
-
-
- - loss of synchronization of voice and music at various times
-
-
-
- - i saw the helicopter carry away a car at the end of the
-
- easy course on the 2nd lap? (has any else seen this?)
-
-
-
- - major, and severe graphics clipping of car, and wall/side
-
- objects on all courses (when seen from outside view)..
-
- just drive real close to an edge or wall , and you will
-
- appear to go through it. (VERY VERY BAD and NOTICEABLE!!!)
-
-
-
- - [on the whole an exceptional glitch free job. (well almost.)]
-
- <statement rescinded>
-
-
-
- - now i think they were trying to do a good job, at most of
-
- these elements don't affect the game, so i rescind the
-
- prior statement, and claim they did a fairly glitch free job.
-
-
-
- (f)
-
- q: speed and types of cars?
-
- a: remember these are rally cars, there are 4 kinds , 2 manual , and
-
- 2 automatic. The basic cars are celica and the lancia.
-
- the celica has a high spoiler on the tail, and the lancia is smaller lighter
-
- car with a small spoiler on the rear top, much more on the cars later.
-
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) manual vs automatic
-
-
-
- automatic - easy to drive, no shifting, slower acceleration coming
-
- out of turns, average handling if you know how to brake
-
- in conjuntion with accelerating ,don't know about top speed
-
-
-
- manual - harder to drive, shifting, faster acceleration coming out
-
- of turns, better handling, should have a slightly higher
-
- top speed (at least in manual mode)
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 2) toyota vs lancia
-
-
-
- -toyota handles better (period)
-
-
-
- -lancia probably accelerates more quickly and has higher speeds
-
- (unconfirmed- reports say that both have the same top speed)!
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- (g)
-
- q: settings?
-
- a: the default arcade settings are japanese for country/text : set to
-
- export/US car difficulty-normal time difficulty - normal credits - 1per
-
- coin currently you can expect to pay $1 for each game or 4 coins.
-
- according to the operators manual, there are more than 20 settings for
-
- all the different coin slot, count etc.etc...
-
-
-
-
-
- course settings - short, normal, long , and longest(unconfirmed)
-
-
-
- setting course name #laps

-
- championship 15 - 5 each
-
- (lakeside) 1?
-
-
-
- (h)
-
- q: head to head?
-
- a: yes or solo, they had a linked version at that arcade in baybrook, so
-
- i figure just like the other head to head games, you can link up to eight,
-
- with a main master cabinet and several slave ones.
-
-
-
- (i)
-
- q: number of courses?
-
- a: 3 , desert (easy!), forest (medium!), and mountain (expert!).
-
- much more on each one later.
-
-
-
- There is also a course called lakeside, but you have to finish
-
- the championship mode to play it, so far its seems like its
-
- only one lap. (no confirmation on other modes, or if you can
-
- select it as a practice course)
-
-
-
- (j)
-
- q: modes of play?
-
- a: championship and practice. championship is the one where you race
-
- against , i think , 16 other cars to finish one lap of each course.
-
- practice lets you practice against other cars, and the time to finish a
-
- few laps of each course.
-
-
-
- k)
-
- q: could you be more specific on the laps?
-
- a:
-
- practice laps diff start mode
-
- ---------- --- ----- ---------------
-
- desert - 3 (easy) standing start
-
- forest - 2 (medium) standing start
-
- mountain - 2 (expert) standing start
-
-
-
- lakeside - 1? (very hard) standing start
-
-
-
- championship laps
-
- ------------------
-
- desert - 1
-
- forest - 1
-
- mountain - 1
-
- ------------------
-
- total - 3 all standing starts
-
- or 4 if you include lakeside (1).
-
-
-
- (l)
-
- q: controls?
-
- a: standard steering wheel with feedback, 4 gear shift a la daytona,
-
- (not butterfly) - but like a real car
-
- -standard metal gas and brake, adjustable sit down seats (no cushions!)
-
- -one release latch to the lower right on the front of the seat,
-
- -one start button (on left hand side) and only ONE view button to its right
-
- -fake control panel with 3 gauges(water,temp, and rpm)
-
- and various fake switches
-
- -no clutch!!!!!
-
-
-
- (m)
-
- q: operation?
-
- a: put the money in, the computer waits to see if another player wants
-
- to get in, (you wait 10 seconds). if no one enters you have the
-
- choice of championship or practice. then you pick one of the four
-
- cars (2 manual , 2 auto) with the steering wheel, pick by either pressing
-
- start or pressing the gas pedal. the game starts and you are presented
-
- with an in car view.each race starts from a standing start.
-
-
-
- -the whole idea is to race a set number of laps for each course, and
-
- finish them in the allocated time, you have a certain amount of
-
- time at the beginning, and in each course there are certain
-
- checkpoints that add to the amount of time you can get,
-
- usually if you crash once, you might finish the course, but only
-
- if its a minor one, and you drive a near perfect set of laps after that.
-
-
-
- -if you are playing head to head, you can try to beat the other person,
-
- and the clock also, if you are behind, and the other person is
-
- finishing the course you still get to continue as long as they
-
- are making it to the checkpoints...
-
-
-
- -i think the first person decides the course, and if you pick different
-
- ones, the lower one wins out (beginner over moderate)
-
-
-
- -there is no time lap mode i think, or i don't know how to activate it
-
- yet??????
-
-
-
- (n)
-
- q: do you have to wait to jump in?
-
- a: no , you can start even if the other player hasn't finished yet.
-
-
-
- (o)
-
- q: onscreen details?
-
- a: here are the various indicators.
-
-
-
- speed and rpm
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- there is a digital speedometer with tiny white numbers
-
- and rpm meter (tachometer) with gear number on the
-
- lower left of the screen (the instrumentation is translucent so you
-
- can see the road through it) it splits from black to red around the
-
- 7500rpm mark it goes to 9000 rpm.it starts at 0 and has markings
-
- for each 2000 rpm,it goes 0,4,6,7,8,9.
-
-
-
- rearview and progress
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- if you driving in default hood/in car view the rearview mirror is 3/4
-
- the width and 1/8 screen down from the top of the screen it is about
-
- 1/16 the height of the screen (maybe smaller ). above that is a bar
-
- chart indicator in green, that is almost as wide, which gives an
-
- indication of how much of the course (lap) you have finished,
-
- this is not very helpful because you shouldn't be looking at
-
- it anyway or you will crash!
-
-
-
- maps
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- (this is in two player mode)
-
- there is a map on the right hand side, with position indicators.
-
- your position in the race is on the top right hand side.
-
- the dots on the map, correspond to your car , there is a red
-
- one and a green one (head-to-head) with a number inside the
-
- dot
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- (this is in practice mode)
-
- time indicators
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- -slightly lower than the time on the upper right is the 3 top lap times for the
-
- course.
-
- on the upper left is your cumulative and single lap times.
-
- -on the upper right is your position ?/2 for practice and
-
- ?/15 for championship, the lap indicator is to the left of
-
- the lap time
-
- -i didn't see a best lap time indicator or in the credits a place
-
- for the best lap time.[there are none]
-
- -when you finish a course, it shows you each lap time, and your
-
- overall lap time for the course.
-
- -each individual game holds its own high scores, so times and
-
- intials on one side are not reflected on the other side.
-
-
-
- (p)
-
- q: cars again?
-
- a: ok you have two basic white cars, the toyota celica and the lancia delta hf.
-
- both are coved in plenty of decals, and have tinted windows
-
-
-
- (from the exterior view)
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- the celica has a large spoiler on the tail, and the lancia has a small
-
- short attached one to the roof.

- -the celica hugs the road to a greater degree, the lancia takes off, even
-
- on small easy to do turns, and flys over bumps.(This may be due to
-
- their modeling of the cars weight!) [no specs on car in game]
-
- -the celica has a little more gripping action when you brake (or is that
-
- me???) [ once again could be due to modeling factors]
-
-
-
- car number
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- -if you are player one, your car has a one on it, if you are player two
-
- it has two on it, i assume that when there are more players,
-
- they have their number on it.
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- -whatever all of this is mostly subjective anyway, how are you supposed
-
- to quantitatively describe these attributes without comparisons
-
- anyway????
-
-
-
-
-
- (q)
-
- q: be specific about the views.
-
- a: THERE ARE ONLY TWO KNOWN VIEWS!!!!!!
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) the in car on the hood/in car hybrid view, this is similar to the hood
-
- view (view 1) of daytona, with one major exception, you have a rear
-
- view mirror! (Realtime of course).
-
-
-
- - after playing the game with this view, the rear view mirror has really
-
- limited use, it gives you an idea of where the cars are behind you,
-
- but what really would have helped is side mirrors!! so you can
-
- see when someone is trying to pass you, and from which side.
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 2) the above and behind view (my favorite) view 3 in daytona. NO REAR
-
- VIEW MIRROR THOUGH.
-
-
-
- -this view gives you the advantage you can see your car and its relation
-
- to the road
-
- -you can judge the upcoming turns and see which direction
-
- your wheels are facing (important turn information)
-
- -you can also the distance and relation of other cars in reference to your
-
- position smoke, dirt and dust come off the tires and you can see
-
- them in this view
-
- -you also get to see more scenery!
-
-
-
- -that's it, right, only 2, no more, why? who knows, maybe sega thinks we
-
- don't need any more, ask them!
-
-
-
- ( you still get the same view as the first one, but if you select
-
- your car, and hold down both view buttons, you get different
-
- instrument readouts on-screen, see the tricks section below)
-
-
-
- (r)
-
- q: what about control?
-
- a: this is probably the one biggest question that will affect whether you
-
- want to play it or not..
-
- -basically the celica (big air fin on back) handles better than the lancia
-
- both cars will turn violently with large degree turns (>10 degrees)
-
- -a very light touch is needed to turn, somewhat like daytona, but a bit
-
- more responsive, the gas and braking handle like daytona, with
-
- large amounts of braking and hard pressure on the gas pedal
-
- giving the equivalent amounts of braking, or speed.
-
- -it will take you a couple of games to get used to this!
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- overall - i would rate the car handling in between virtua racing
-
- which was rock solid absolute control and daytona - slide city
-
-
-
- -these cars have a good degree of control if you have a delicate
-
- touch and they do slide, but you won't be sliding and slipping
-
- all over the place like in daytona or ridge racer.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- - sorry i can't compare it to other games like outrunners or any
-
- thing else, i just don't play those other games that much..
-
-
-
- (s)
-
- q: how hard is the game?
-
- a: well this is a tough question? here goes.
-
-
-
- degree of difficulty
-
- --------------------
-
-
-
- for the seasoned virtua racing expert -
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- moderate to easy to finish all 3 courses after a few games (i am not kidding)
-
-
-
- for the seasoned daytona expert -
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- easy to finish all 3 courses after a few games
-
-
-
- (i finished beginner,moderate, and almost finished
-
- expert, and championship after the first $7)
-
-
-
- for the new racing car person -
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- impossible to very hard
-
-
-
- (they are going to have to spend loads of dough to even finish the
-
- beginning course)
-
-
-
- for the moderate racing car persion -
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- hard to moderate
-
-
-
- ( they wont have to spend as much >us$20 ) to get past beginner
-
- and maybe moderate
-
-
-
- ALL OF THIS IS ASSUMING THE GAME IS ON NORMAL/NORMAL DEFAULT
-
- SETTINGS.
-
-
-
- -basically if you know how to do power slides, and you will have to do them!,
-
- you will be able to finish the game in all modes rather quickly, and this
-
- is with the AUTOMATIC CAR (THATS WHAT I ALWAYS USE AT FIRST)!!!!!
-
-
-
- -dissapointed? well , don't be too much, because sega shortened the game
-
- (notice the number of laps for each course is pretty small) , maybe if you
-
- are lucky you will find an arcade that sets it to a very high amount of
-
- laps!!
-
-
-
- (t)
-
- q: why is the game so easy?
-
- a: there are a couple of factors
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) the cars are a lot easier to handle
-
- 2) turn indicators that show up to show you the severity of the turn
-
- 3) VERBAL VOICE ANNOUNCER THAT TELLS YOU THE SEVERITY
-
- OF THE TURN - example, hard right, medium right, easy right, easy left
-
- etc.etc..
-
-
-
- (the announcer is really the navigator/co-driver)
-
-
-
- -basically you don't have to figure out whats coming, the announcer tells
-
- you ahead of time, and even if you don't hear it, you see a symbol that
-
- pops up to show you how hard the turn is, if it is a very hard turn, instead
-
- of a blue turn symbol, you get a red one.
-
-
-
- (u)
-
- q: what about the announcer, and what are those figures?
-
- a: lets see what his vocabulary is and what it means.
-
-
-
- ( once again, the announcer is the navigator / co-driver)
-
- The figures that appear on the screen are what they call Figure Eights.
-
- Named because there are only eight figures each denoting the turn that is
-
- expected. The voice shouting the turn conditions ahead is not the announcer
-
- but rather the co-driver/navigator. Cross country rallies are a very
-
- complicated mix of driving and navigation. The driver depends on the
-
- navigator to get him around and warn him of the turns that come. Nobody
-
- goes on a rally motorcross by himself. This explains the pose on the
-
- finishing screen. There are 2 "drivers" standing in victory.
-
-
-
- vocabulary and turn description
-
- ------------------------------------------
-
- a) right or left
-
- b) easy , medium and hard
-
- c) very, long or ( none )
-
- d) maybe (suggestion for turn difficulty)
-
- e) upward jump [i think] <for jumps>
-
- f) hairpin turn [ i think ]
-
- ------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- -he does say other things that don't really help though
-
- a) ouch
-
- b) oww
-
- c) whoah
-
-
-
- examples..
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 1) easy left - obvious, just barely turn the wheel at full speed
-
- you should be able to make the turn without losing any speed
-
- 2) easy right - same as above
-
- 3) long easy left - another easy turn, but the turn radius is much longer
-
- than the short one, so don't abruptly turn the wheel
-
- 4) long easy right - same as above
-
- 5) long easy left (maybe) - you should be able to take this
-
- turn without slowing down, but if you are
-
- slightly off at the apex of the turn
-
- you may need to slow down
-
- 6) long easy right (maybe) - same as above
-
- 7) very long easy left (maybe) - this turn is one of the longest in the game,
-
- you should not have to slow down entirely if
-
- you complete it just right
-
- 8) very long easy right (maybe) - same as above
-
- 9) medium left - you will have to brake slightly, or downshift to take this
-
- turn , if you don't you will either hit the sides, or go off
-
- the road
-
- 10) medium right - same as above
-
- 11) medium left (maybe) - slightly more control needed to take turn, but not
-
- enough for you to power slide into
-
- 12) medium right (maybe) - same as above
-
- 13) hard left - you will probably have to power slide into this turn, don't
-
- know what a power slide is? read the daytona faq please
-
- 14) hard right - same as above
-
-
-
- -at some point these will abbreviated like EL,LEL,LMRM, HR
-
- for easy left, long easy left, long medium right maybe, and hard right.
-
- and placed into the course descriptions...
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE : This has been done as of version 0.90!
-
-
-
-
-
- v)
-
- q) any car damage?
-
- a) hmmm.
-
- if you have played this game for awhile, you may noticed a couple
-
- of things, your car never flips over, the other cars don't flip
-
- over either.
-
-
-
- and also you can do anything you want to the car, and no damage
-
- appears! good? bad? who knows, maybe sega decided that this
-
- game would be hard enough without having to model the damage,
-
- and remember in rally racing , there aren't pit stops (or are
-
- there?) anyway sega is basically taking the liberty to do
-
- whatever they want with this game, so sit back, drive, and
-
- enjoy it, don't worry too much about the details!

- III) Course guide
-
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE : The manual and automatic information below contain slightly
-
- different descriptions for the turns, the automatic is geared
-
- more towards the beginning driver while the manual is for
-
- the expert driver (however, ALL the courses can be mastered
-
- by both types, i'm just not as good with automatic)
-
-
-
- NOTE : the recovery techniques are mine, and the penalty times are
-
- just estimates, if you can crash and still finish the course,
-
- you don't need to know these, these are just basic techniques
-
- that you can use anywhere.
-
-
-
- NOTE : For Sega Saturn Owners that are reading this faq.
-
- I have converted km/h to mp/h for the home version
-
- as we do not know a trick to get km/h yet!
-
-
-
- Also the times listed below will be slightly slower (and greatly
-
- slower compared to if you use the extra car in the home version)
-
- so DO NOT take these as the best, they apply to the arcade only!
-
-
-
- To see more appropriate speeds and times refer to the
-
- Sega Saturn Rally Faq also, and ...
-
-
-
- please refer to the Sega Saturn Rally Times Faq for more
-
- appropriate times, thanx.

- description
-
- ------------------
-
- -seems to me this fictional course exists somewhere in africa possibly?
-
- what do you think?
-
-
-
- -the desert course is about as easy as it gets, there are two medium hard
-
- turns and the rest are easy, you should make the first lap in a 1:00+ and
-
- the next 2 in under a minute to finish the course.
-
-
-
- -you start off in a small town with a few houses and buildings, the starting
-
- line has a banner over it. you then proceed through various plains, and
-
- dirt and gravel roads, with green hills, and rocky cliffs on the side, at
-
- the end a vast plain with a huge gravel road finishes off the scenery.
-
- visibility is good throughout the course, the turns are wide, and there
-
- are a few hidden corners, but the indicators show you what turns
-
- are approaching.
-
-
-
- road conditions
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- you are driving on gravel, and dirt for the whole course, there are no paved
-
- turns. several large bumps exist on the coarse, which you will have to
-
- compensate for, in particular there is one stretch that has 3 bumps in
-
- a row, also some of the harder turns are on dirt , so the car will slide
-
- accordingly, at times into rocky cliffs right next to them, the gravel
-
- is hard to grip and if you power slide into it at the wrong angle, it
-
- will take time to compensate for turning the wheel so that it is parallel
-
- to the steering column, and then you can gain your traction back.
-
-
-
-
-
- <this is also the final checkpoint - time added ?>
-
-
-
- start
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- -your car sits at the starting line located in a small town , there are
-
- other cars in front of you, since this is a standing start you should
-
- accelerate quickly to get ahead.
-
- -road conditions : gravel
-
- -you have 3 seconds to get ready before you take control of the car
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- in two player mode - then next car is either to your left or right
-
- multiplayer mode - not known how position of cars are determined
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- automatic - press accelerator slowly at first and then press hard after
-
- a few seconds you should be at full speed , about 215km/h
-
- (129 mp/h) continue at that pace.
-
-
-
- manual - check to see if gear is in 1st, if not put it there or you will lose
-
- time, accelerate like the automatic, however note your speed, around
-
- 70 km/h (42 mp/h) and the tachmoter needle goes to red, shift to 2nd,
-
- around 130km/h (81 mp/h) switch to 3rd, and around 160km/h (99 mph/h)
-
- switch to 4th, drive with one hand on the shift, or bring the hand
-
- back to shift down when needed late on, this should take about 5 seconds
-
- or so, maybe faster, try to optimize your shifting times, you can also
-
- listen to the sound of the engine but it is up to you to decide which
-
- is easier.
-
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- NOTE: i tried the rocket start (from daytona) but could not tell if it worked
-
- correctly.
-
-
-
- [hold down the brake and the accelerator, and jam on both , letting go
-
- of the brake when the countdown timer reaches 0]
-
-
-
- (however, some people have gotten it to work)
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- introductory turns
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [ER, and EL]
-
- there is an easy right turn and an easy left turn as you go past some
-
- grassy plains with zebras on them,
-
-
-
- - road condition : gravel
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - take each turn at full speed , you can basically be anywhere
-
- on the road when you take these turns, because you have so much
-
- space to work with, try to turn the wheel gently and don't cause
-
- the car to lose any speed, be prepared to go right afterwards
-
-
-
- manual - same as automatic, stay at top speed, prepare to go right, don't
-
- even think about using the brake unless you skid out!
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- first plains
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [ER]
-
- then another easy right, but if you go to far out you will bump into the
-
- grassy hills on the left side and slow down , you should be going all out
-
- (about 215 kph (140 mp/h) i think) take the turns on the inside so you don't
-
- have to slow down.
-
-
-
- - road condition : dirt
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - full speed, try to stay in towards the right, don't brake
-
- manual - same as automatic
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- =============================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- if you should hit either the left hills, or the right hand rocks, IMMEADIATELY
-
- tap on the brakes and slow down slightly, the car will swerve, depending
-
- on which way you turned the wheel, and at which angle you came off
-
- the turn, grip the wheel tightly to turn in the opposite direction you
-
- came off, and press the accelerator to go to maximum speed as soon
-
- as possible
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- --------
-
- probably a second at the worst, '20 -'40 hundreds at the best
-
- =============================================================================
-
-
-
-
-
- bump!
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [ER]
-
- you will come around another easy right turn and hit your first bump, yes
-
- thats right, a bump which will send the car flying upward for a second, you
-
- have no control over the car in the air, so don't apply the brakes, spin
-
- the wheel or anything, otherwise you will crash when you come down!!!! you
-
- will hear the announcer say upward jump and see a yellow exclamation point
-
- sign
-
-
-
- road condition : dirt
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - keep going full speed over the bump, i didn't notice if you lose
-
- any speed when you're airborne or not, or whether you gain some
-
- when you land (looks cool though!)
-
- manual - stay in 4th at all times, try to close in the right hand side to set
-
- up for the next turn
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- <2nd checkpoint - time added ?>
-
- first hill
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [LER]
-
- then you round a big dirt hill and their is a long easy turn to the right,
-
- apply just a little brake and slide to the right, you won't slow down much,
-
- and start accelerating right away,
-
-
-
- road condition : dirt
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - press on the brakes either by themself, or simultaneously with
-
- the accelerator, slow down to about 180km/h(unconfirmed) (111 mp/h)
-
- until you feel the tires almost starting to lose their grips, this
-
- should happen only for a second or so, once you turn the wheel
-
- a little sharper to the right, accelerate again.
-
- manual - either downshift from 4th to 3rd quickly , turn and shift up again
-
- while jamming on accelerator ,or tap brakes, downshift to 3rd and upshift again, rapidly
-
- accelerating (if you're already not holding down the accelerator)
-
-
-
-
-
- [late breaking addition : its possible in both modes to take this turn
-
- at full speed, just swing wide to the left and cut inwards, and you
-
- don't have to break or downshift! try it.]
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- =============================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- once again, if you think you're going to hill the hill, SLOW DOWN!
-
- with the brake, and turn the wheel to the left so you are going
-
- away from it!
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- --------
-
- if you don't stop completely , a few more tenths of a second,
-
- otherwise a half second
-
-
-
- =============================================================================
-
-
-
- bumps and straightaway
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [ER]
-
- anyway once you land you are still going fast, there is another
-
- easy right turn that you will have to make
-
-
-
- road condition : dirt
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - stay at full speed, either tap the brakes, and accelerate again,
-
- or brake and accelerate simultaneously, once again wait until
-
- the car tires seem to almost lose their grip before doing so
-
-
-
- manual - stay in 4th, downshift to 3rd in whatever manor you do, either
-
- by braking and downshifting, or just by downshift, accelerate
-
- rapidly and go to the left as you approach the bumps
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- =============================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- ---------
-
- if you feel you are losing control as you go over the bumps, there is
-
- a small of time (less than a few tenths of a second) that you can
-
- either slow down, and correct your course for the other turns,
-
- do NOT jam on the brakes or you will CRASH and BURN
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- ----------
-
- try not lose more than a second, because if you already
-
- crashed, forget about trying to finish all the laps , because you will
-
- be running out of time, if you correct ok, you will either gain or
-
- lose a few tenths of a second.
-
- =============================================================================
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- out of the dirt
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [EL]
-
- then comes a straightaway, followed by three bumps in a row, fly over all
-
- of these at full speed, and when you come down get ready to make a left.
-
-
-
- thats an easy left turn, if you are to close to the hill you will hit it,
-
- and it will slow you down, so try to approach the hills from the left and work
-
- outward.
-
-
-
- road condition : dirt
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - whats the mantra? full speed ahead , don't slow down or
-
- brake
-
- manual - full speed ahead, no braking allowed!
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- -------
-
- if you are slightly too far out, you will graze the right hand wall,
-
- and of course lose some precious speed, don't try to oversteer
-
- if this happens, hit the wall, and continue on
-
-
-
- penalty - a few more tenths of a second (these add up!!)
-
- ===========================================================================
-
-
-
- chicane
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [EL and ER]
-
- as you come out of the turn, the first chicane will come up, you have
-
- an easy left followed by an easy right, make sure you go wide on the
-
- left as there is a wall of dirt on the right and it could slow you down,
-
- make sure you clear the hill easily,
-
-
-
- road condition : gravel
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - approach the hill from the left and turn slightly outward,
-
- going full speed, this is the interesting thing, because you
-
- don't really have to turn right afterwards, there is a little
-
- grass on the side, but go over it and onto the gravel,
-
- setting you up for the final turn (almost like the final
-
- turn in the beginners course on virtua racing)
-
- manual - full steam ahead!, steer a little left and stay there, you don't
-
- have to turn right, approach the final turn..
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- ===========================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- ---------
-
- if you clip the wall on the right , turn outwards to the left, so that you
-
- won't slow down again, that way you'll be heading as planned into
-
- the final right turn
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- ---------
-
- a few tenths of a second
-
- ============================================================================
-
-
-
- final stretch
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [VLERM]
-
- because coming up after that last turn is a very long easy right turn (maybe)
-
- on gravel. go into full speed from the right and cut inward, don't oversteer
-
- or you will spin out
-
-
-
- -road condition : gravel
-
- -by the way a helicopter will do a flyby from above and
-
- will kick up all kinds of dust in front of you, after that turn , keep
-
- maintaining full speed and cross the finish line, repeat twice and
-
- finish the beginners course...
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - this is the make or break turn for the course, if you do it
-
- right you will have plenty of time to finish the other laps, and
-
- also set some record times, if you skid out, you will be in bad
-
- shape and lose lots of time, take the approach the way you like,
-
- you can go wide to the left, and cut inwards, as you start
-
- braking, note how the car is handling, are the wheels slipping,
-
- check your speed, you should slow down to about 150 kph (93mph) and
-
- once you round the turn, accelerate like crazy again, straighten
-
- the wheel, and cross the finish line, check your lap time, to see
-
- how you do each time
-
- manual - same as above, however you may want to push the speed a
-
- little higher >160 kph (99mph),downshift to 3rd,brake and upshift to
-
- 4th again, or just do it by downshifting. you should be able
-
- to get the grip from the gravel slightly sooner, so be prepared
-
- to accelerate as quickly as possible, check your lap time, and
-
- keep in mind how you are doing.
-
-
-
- ===========================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- -------------
-
- you should not spin out on this turn, because if you do, you
-
- will have to turn the car around and get back up to speed. learn
-
- how to take it properly and you will finish it every time!
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- --------
-
- up to a second if you crash, maybe more, you will lose some
-
- time due to the car sliding and slowing down
-
- ===========================================================================

-
-
- [if theres a way to take this at full speed let me know!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]

-
- ending
-
- ------
-
- basically you get a few still shots, with moving camera angles of the
-
- scenery, while the programmers names show up on the screen
-
- 1) some elephants walking in the grass
-
- 2) some plains and trees
-
- 3) some hills and mountains
-
- 4) some zebras grazing in the grass
-
-
-
- -if your time was fast enough you enter your name
-
- turn the steering wheel to the letter of your initial
-
- and press the gas or the start button to enter,
-
- you get three initials.
-
- -sometime the ending credits do not come up,i don't what
-
- criteria the game is looking for. ( i think you have to beat
-
- the other car?)

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- pretty easy, huh? well remember how to do it, because the first lap

-
-
- -this fictional course could exist somewhere in france or germany perhaps?
-
- what do you think?
-
-
-
- -the forest course is much harder than the desert one,
-
- most people will eventually learn how to finish it, but there is one killer
-
- u-turn that pretty much separates the good people from the bad, and
-
- also how you take it makes or breaks you from finishing.
-
-
-
- -the overall road condition varies widely with long areas of paved roads,
-
- tunnel road, to dirt roads, back to paved roads for the killer u-turn,
-
- back to dirt roads with jumps, back to paved roads for the final turn.

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- -in practice mode your car starts on the left hand side of the road
-
- -you have 3 seconds to get ready to start racing
-
- -you start off in a forested area with rocks and tree,
-
- and off to the side grass shoulders,

-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- 1st lap - none needed (you really shouldnt crash here!)
-
- 2nd lap - be prepared to gently weave through the s's but if you are
-
- sliding off the road anywhere, you can graze the grass on
-
- the side , and slowly! brake to regain control

-
- [VLER]
-
- the first long winding easy right turn, and as you go past more trees ,
-
- there is a flock of birds on the road that flies away. there are grass
-
- shoulders onboth sides of the road, but don't go too far into them! or
-
- you will hit the railings.
-
-
-
- road condition - paved
-
-
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - approach the turn from the right, and genltly steer the wheel
-
- through the turn, while maintaining full speed! your apex for
-
- the turn should not be very high, so you shouldn't have
-
- to brake at all.
-
- manual - same as automatic.
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- ==========================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- this is an easy turn and you shouldn't need any, but if you
-
- slide off the road, graze the grass and brake! slowly, while
-
- turning the wheel gently to the right.
-
-
-
- penalty - still more precious tenths of a second
-
- =========================================================================
-
-
-
- still going to the right
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [LERM]
-
- another long winding easy right comes up, you might want to
-
- graze a little grass on the shoulders if you feel you cant take the
-
- next couple of turns at full speed. there are trees on the side, and
-
- on the left a brick fence is coming up.
-
-
-
- road condition - paved
-
-

-
- automatic - approach the turn from the right again, still going full
-
- speed, get ready to turn left though, and be prepared to
-
- brake slightly (if needed)
-
- manual - still going full speed, turn gently to the right, and
-
- prepare to turn left

-
- yet even more tenths of a second
-
- ========================================================================
-
-
-
- left into the tunnel
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [VLEL]
-
- then comes a long winding left easy left you can make, there is a slight
-
- shoulder of grass on either side, but it also a brick wall on the left,
-
- you will also go over a small bridge, which you can see on the right
-
- hand side, don't oversteer or you fly right into the side of the mountain.
-
-
-
- road condition : paved
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic
-
- --------
-
- enter the turn at full speed, and slow down slightly by tapping the brake
-
- as you come up on the left, the wheels of the car might leave the ground
-
- slightly , but you should come back up to full speed as you straighten
-
- out and head into the tunnel.
-
-
-
- manual
-
- -------
-
- you have two choices 1) downshift to 3rd (or 2nd) and turn to the left.
-
- 2) you can stay in fourth and brake slightly and let the force of the
-
- car carry it through the turn, decide which way you like better, and
-
- which one shaves off the most time. be prepared to recover for the
-
- straightaway that enters the tunnel
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- ========================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- this is one of the first small trouble spots for the course, if you slam
-
- into the rock wall on the right, brake and turn the wheel to the left
-
- and quickly accelerate
-
-
-
- if you bash into the mouth of the tunnel,start turning and accelerate
-
- again (auto) or back to 1st (manual)
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- -------
-
- up to a second if you are not careful! if you crash here, you can
-
- still possibly complete the course.
-
- ========================================================================
-
- <1st checkpoint - time added ?>
-
-
-
- into the tunnel
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [ML]
-
- as you end up on the mouth of a tunnel. the rock tunnel has a slight
-
- width differential from the road width, so try to maintain the
-
- middle of the road approach (ha). inside the lit tunnel, are
-
- yellow colored lights, and rock walls on either sides! be careful
-
- not to bang into them. Inside the tunnel, after a few seconds you
-
- will approach a medium left turn, after that prepare for a short
-
- straightaway as you exit the tunnel.
-
-
-
- road condition : paved
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic
-
- ---------
-
- after entering the tunnel maintain full speed, and be prepared to brake
-
- down to about 170 km/h(105 mp/h) and turn the wheel to the left, if you are
-
- going too fast brake even more and compensate, try to take the inside left
-
- as you go into the turn and slide outwards if you need to
-
-
-
- manual
-
- -----
-
- simply downshift to 3rd , turn to the left, wait until you feel your
-
- wheels catch on the turn and shift back to 4th, the wheels shouldnt
-
- spin at all if you do this right
-
-
-
- [late breaking addition: its also possible to take this turn
-
- at full speed in both modes, simple hug the left side of the
-
- wheel, and turn hard to the left, your tires will sqeal, but
-
- you will still be able to hang onto the turn, this is also
-
- a good spot to overtake other cars that get in your way..try it]
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- ======================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- if you hit the sides of the tunnel at any times, try to steer yourself
-
- back into the center of the road, and do not oversteer! or else you
-
- will go bouncing off of them left and right. if you hit the inside
-
- or the outside wall on the left turn, brake and slow down appropriately
-
- while maintaining the cars turn, be prepared for a straightaway and
-
- a left turn
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- -------
-
- once again a bad crash might lose up to a second
-
- grazing the sides up to half a second
-
- if this is your second crash, forget about finishing the course!
-
- ===========================================================================
-
-
-
-
-
- out of the tunnel
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [MLM]
-
- then after finishing that prior straightway, comes a hill and then
-
- comes two major turns, first a medium one to the left. on both sides
-
- of the turn are large dirt walls, so try to cut onto the inside
-
- and slide through the turns
-
-
-
- road conditions - briefly paved, and then dirt
-
-
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic
-
- ------
-
- for the sake of argument - i claim this is one of the first major
-
- make or break turns on this course, you will need to power slide
-
- through it big-time (what you don't know how to do one? read the
-
- daytona faq), in other words you will have to do a controlled
-
- brake and accelerate motion through the turn, first slow down
-
- as you approach the turn , then turn to the left and as you
-
- see the wheels starting to slip accelerate again, due to the
-
- poor traction on the road, you will not gain full speed
-
- right away and the car will (should!) swing out to right.
-
- once you straighten up, you should be going full speed
-
- ahead (at least until the next turn) which is a right
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- ======================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- if you are sliding into the right hand wall, you must slow and
-
- turn the wheel out away from it, that way when you hit the
-
- wall and accelerate, you will be coming off at the right
-
- angle, and can get back on the road again
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- -------
-
- up to one second if its a major crash, otherwise grazing the
-
- wall loses a few tenths of a second
-
- ===========================================================================
-
-
-
- still mud
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [LMR]
-
- and then a medium right, this turn is almost a mirror of the previous
-
- turn except the turn radius is slightly wider, and you have more
-
- leeway when you come out of it, be prepared for a slight chicane
-
- (s-turn) that you fly right through, but watch out for the cliffs
-
- again!
-
-
-
- road condition : dirt during turn, paved at end
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic
-
- ---------
-
- this turn is like the opposite of the prior one , turn to the inside
-
- of the right turn and let the car slide outwards as you apply
-
- the brake,then quickly accelerate.
-
- you should be able to brake a little less, and still be able to correct
-
- your angle of turning and come out at full speed got the
-
- straightaway.
-
-
-
- manual
-
- ------
-
- once again two choices, brake while you're in fourth and gun it.
-
- remember that this is not a hard right, so don't oversteer.
-
- or 2) shift to 3rd ,turn slide, and back into fourth for the
-
- straightway.

-
-
-
- <checkpoint>
-
-
-
- the killer mountain top u-turn
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [VHR]
-
- keep going fast because you hit another checkpoint and then comes
-
- the killer u-turn, slow down to about 100km/h (60mp/h) or whatever , just slow
-
- down like crazy and try not to hit the rails on the left or the mountain
-
- on the right , because you will slow down like crazy whether you like
-
- it or not and it will waste a heck of a lot of time. its too bad the
-
- game goes by so fast , because if you look to the left side of the
-
- u-turn you get a spectacular view over a cliff of the mountain side
-
- and the railing! on your right is the solid rock wall, waiting for
-
- you to crash into it, though.
-
-
-
- road condition : paved
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic
-
- ---------
-
- after you cross the checkpoint , begin BRAKING AND TURNING HARD to the
-
- RIGHT! watch the cars reaction, make sure that you haven't turned
-
- the wrong way or too much, if you spin out here, you are in
-
- big trouble! you will need to practice this turn, and be able
-
- to do it right every time, if you want to finish, so practice.
-
- practice. practice.
-
- the car will leave the ground momentarily due to its momentum
-
- but you should be able to recover and gun the gas pedal
-
- if you come out of it ok,
-
-
-
- manual
-
- -----
-
- this is another sore spot that needs to be discussed -
-
- there are many different ways to take this turn , i will tell
-
- you my way, since it works for me (and i finished the course)
-
- what i do, is approach the turn in 4th, shift straight to 2nd,
-
- and brake down to about 100 km/h (60 mp/h), i let the car slide if it
-
- isn't doing so already, after the traction is regained i shift
-
- to 3rd, and then 4th quickly, the thing is though a hard right
-
- turn is coming, so be prepared for it.
-
-
-
- here is stingray's version:
-
- Well, I don't know if my techniques are any better than yours 'cause
-
- I think that I'm doing them wrong and it's hurt my time as well.
-
- OK, here goes: there are two U-Turn's in the game, so I going through
-
- each accordingly. The U-turn at the forest level, I approach
-
- the turn at 4th near the right side of the paved road then about
-
- a 1 second before the actual turn, I downshift to 3rd and brake
-
- medium-ly (to 100-110 km/h) (60-68mph/h) and turn hard right, gasing all
-
- the way, which usually power-slides me though the turn. (if I don't mess
-
- up that is). I usually do the same stuff for the other U-turn,
-
- except that, I approach at 3rd/4th(depends how I took the previous
-
- turn) from the middle of the paved road, and I brake HARD (to about
-
- 90-100 km/h)(56-62mp/h) and downshift to 2nd and turn hard right and then
-
- gasing it all the way back to 3rd then 4th as you come out of the turn.
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- ======================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- ---------
-
- try desperately to recover if you crash, because if you make it through
-
- this without slowing down to much you are very good shape to finish!
-
- after the u-turn go full speed ahead and get ready
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- -------
-
- you could lose up to 2 seconds if you really blow it here.
-
- that really is the end of the race if you don't make it through this!
-
- ======================================================================
-
-
-
- keep on sliding!
-
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [HL]
-
- to take a hard left on dirt road, slide through it, and once
-
- again go full speed, you have rails on your left side, and
-
- mountain on your right.
-
-
-
- road condition : dirt
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic
-
- ---------
-
- slow down and brake, turn the wheel to the right and be prepared to
-
- slide off to the left, you must try to straighten out as soon as
-
- possible to get back on the road, or you will graze the grass
-
- shoulder and slow down even more.
-
-
-
- manual
-
- -----
-
- you will need to shift to 3rd , and possibly 2nd if you feel the
-
- car sliding towards the right hand wall too much, turn hard to the left
-
- and let the car slide outwards a little bit, when the tires start
-
- to spin upshift and regain control as you turn the wheel back
-
- to the right. this is also a critical turn
-
-
-
- =======================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- you are giving some shoulder room on the side, in case you slide out
-
- to far, try not to lose to much time here, as this is a critical
-
- point near the end of the course, you can make up a little time
-
- if you do it right, but if you crash! watch out.
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- -------
-
- up to half a second if its a severe crash

- is pretty easy to take but don't be fooled and slam into the sides,
-
- since you still have a wall on the left, and the rock mountain
-
- on the right
-
-
-
- road condition - dirt
-
-
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic
-
- ---------
-
- this turn to the right should be taken slightly carefully, you don't
-
- need to slow down that much, but tapping the brakes is not enough,
-
- adjust as you turn, and you shouldn't be skidding either.
-
-
-
- manual
-
- ------
-
- i can take this turn every time without downshifting, but i skid
-
- a lot, the wheels spin, and i do powerslide (read the daytona faq!).
-
- basically turn the wheel to the right, and turn on the inside, let
-
- the car slide outwards and adjust by turning it to the left
-
- slightly, you should be heading into a straightaway.
-

-
-
-
- ==================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- not a whole lot to say here, even if you mess up, you will slide

-
- a few tenths of a second, (but just enough to mess you up)

- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- [late breaking addition: its also possible to take this turn
-
- at full speed in both modes, simple hug the left side of the
-
- wheel, and turn hard to the left, your tires will sqeal, but
-
- you will still be able to hang onto the turn, this is also
-
- a good spot to overtake other cars that get in your way..try it]

-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- another fairly easy, but critical turn, brake slightly and you

-
-
-
- -once again remember how to do it for championship because this
-
- is the second lap, try to make it through the killer u-turn because
-
- that will make you or break you for the final lap which is next!!
-
-
-
- -i think this is the critical course if you want to come in first
-
- overall in championship, you should place at least 4th, and have
-
- a time of 1:17 or less. if not, you won't make it to lakeside.
-
-
-
- -if you do, you will get presented the ending credits of the programmers
-
- as you see still shots (sheesh after all that?!!) and then you get to enter

-
- possibly even england? what do you think?
-
-
-
- -this is a spectacular course winding through city buildings, with plenty
-
- of mountains and sides around, this course is very hard because
-
- the roads are so narrow, and once you start bouncing around its
-
- very hard to stop, also there is one killer u-turn again...
-
- after that you go through another city, around some more hard
-
- turns and finish in a small town again

-
-
- after a short straightaway, a large rock cliff wall is on your left
-
- hand side, on the right is a brick wall, but beyond that are sheer
-
- cliffs of rocks, with spectators all over watching, the long easy left
-
- turn shows up , and the narrow road only gives you a little
-
- space to maneuver in.
-
-
-
- road condition : paved
-
-
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - take the turn gently to the left, at full speed, you will

- THE Killer instinct u-turn
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- [HR]
-
- now for the really fun part, this is the make or break turn for this
-
- course, after taking the last left turn, you are rapidly coming up
-
- on the killer u-turn, there is an unpaved dirt shoulder to your left if
-
- you oversteer, but a brick wall on the right, once again high
-
- cliffs of rock,and plenty of spectators are around to watch

-
- automatic
-
- ---------
-
- before the turn approaches, start to brake moderately and
-
- slide the car through the top part of the turn, begin to turn to
-
- the right, and wait till the car passes the brick wall on the right,
-
- once the car passes that, you should be facing straight forward, and

-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------

-
-
- =====================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- this is one of the hardest turns in the whole game, if you don't spin
-
- out you have a chance of recovering, it is much better to oversteer
-
- to the left, and brake late, because that way at least you can
-
- slip onto the dirt shoulder,on the left, and still not crash, from
-
- there you try to regain control and straighten the car, by turning
-
- to the right. if you had the misfortune of hitting the brick wall
-
- and spinning out , you are in real trouble, and there's not a lot
-
- you can do to recover, sorry.

- after driving through another long straightway , you will be decieved
-
- by what looks like an easy left, but in fact it is a long medium left,
-
- so watch out! there is a brick wall on the right side and a large
-
- rock cliff on the left, this is one of those places that you will
-
- see a lot of clipping if you to the right too far
-
-
-
- road condition : paved

-
- automatic - take the turn slower than full speed, brake slightly to
-
- about 180 km/h (110 mp/h) and turn to the left, try not to bang against the
-
- brick wall on the side, or you will be bumping off the cliff too!
-
- after you get past the first part of the turn straighten up, and

- prime spot to start overtaking other drivers
-

-
- turn, you are still surrounded by houses, you will approach a small
-
- chicane, where you can go straight through the easy right and easy
-
- left, a medium left then you will hit a checkpoint, after that comes the

-
- now comes some of the more tricky turns, after passing the houses,

- you now approach the final leg of the course, the roads are extra
-
- wide here, so you have a lot of room to take the turns on, there
-
- is dirt shoulders on both sides, and dirt and trees with fences
-
- on either side of the road, plenty of spectators are around also
-
-
-
- road condition : paved
-
-
-
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - first prepare to brake and take the first left turn,
-
- you will need to slide through the next couple of turns, so
-
- as you hear the tires sqeal get ready to straighten and
-
- accelerate again, try not to go to far one way or the other
-
- or you will go off the road, after the medium left, get ready
-
- for a medium right, do the same thing, brake early , slide to
-
- right, and turn, once you are out of it, accelerate quickly
-
- to top speed
-
-
-
- manual - you will have downshift to 3rd twice here, once after the

- the first in a hard series of turns is this one, dirt hills and
-
- spectators surround both sides of the road, prepare to take
-
- a long medium right turn.
-
-
-
- road condition paved.
-
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - approach the turn quickly, start braking and turning to
-
- the right, adjusting your turn rate as you go,

-
- this is another hard left turn, that has dirt on both sides of

- road, also a fenced off area with dirt and trees are there.
-
- this is the last hard turn you have to take
-
-
-
- road condition : paved
-
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - brake moderately until you are at about 100 km/h and (60 mp/h)
-
- steer over to the left, as you slide make sure you don' spin out
-
- or you are history, most people get to this turn, and then they
-
- can't quite finish it, if you work on perfecting this turn, you
-
- will finish it almost every time

-
-
- manual - shift down to 2nd and about 110 km/h (68mp/h) , turn to the left

-
- a left approaches, if you feel like pushing this turn , try taking
-
- it in third
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- ===================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- if you don't wipe out on the right side, but bump the wall
-
- you can still try to correct you angle of turn and stay on the road
-
- however, at this stage, any kind of crash, may prevent you from
-
- coming in first, or finishing the race!

-
- [EL]
-
- well now that made it through the last left turn, don't relax
-
- just yet, because there's one last left with a small-s turn
-
- that you have to go through, the dirt shoulders end, and you
-
- see buildings and houses coming up on both sides, a banner
-
- overhead indicates the final checkpoint and end of the
-
- race
-
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - full speed ahead, and take the left easily

-
- mode!)
-
-
-

-
-
- -this is the final course for the championship.

-
- - end credits are still shots again
-
- 1) hills at the starting
-
- 2) the u-turn
-
- 3) the turns in the city
-
- 4) the final stretch
-
-
-
- - after this you get the driver enter initials if your times are
-
- fast enough
-
- - this is the last lap of the championship course
-
- - read the next section to see what happens if you finish 1st
-
- - i think this course is easier than the second one, if you are
-
- in 4th when you start, you should be able to finish first, and
-
- you will need times like 1:11'00 or less.

- q: how do you finish the championship course and what is it?
-
- a: basically you get to race one lap of each course , one after
-
- the either, beginning with the easy, then moderate , and finally
-
- the expert, the thing is though, depending on how much time
-
- you had at the end of each one, determines how much extra
-
- time you get later, read the above descriptions to see how to
-
- do one lap of each and practice practice practice.

- Chamionship course times
-
- -------------------------

-
-
- strategy
-
- --------
-
-
-
- first lap - see above for desert, but you really need to
-
- finish in 10th, or 9th , or SORRY you might
-
- as well forget it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
-
- second lap -
-
-
-
- The key is to finish each track in the correct position, so
-
- when you finally reach expert, you should be in 4th place
-
- when you start. If you are in 4th, and run a good race you
-
- *SHOULD BE* (not always) able to catch up and beat the first
-
- place car.
-
-
-
- I sometimes would mess up in the previous courses and I could only
-
- start in 5th place and if that happens there is NO way I could catch
-
- up to the 1st place car, even if I ran a perfect race on expert, the
-
- best I could get then is 2nd place because the 1st place car is just
-
- too far ahead.
-
-
-
- third lap - 1st of course, no really!
-
- actually....
-
- overtake cars as quickly as possible, if you're not in
-
- 1st by the time you get to the last set of 3 or 4 turns
-
- SORRY, try again.
-
-
-
- - if you do come in first, you get to race a new course,
-
- the lakeside, at this time, we think its only one lap,

-
-
- dd) lakeside course
-
-
-
- If you finish 1st and only 1st on the expert track in the
-
- championship mode, you get a surprise .... a BONUS
-
- TRACK called--"LakeSide.
-
-
-
- In general, it's complete dirt, no paved surfaces, a TON of medium
-
- rights and lefts and several hard rights and lefts. And if you actually
-
- manage to get to lakeside, you only get about 1'15'XX MAX to finish it,
-
- there are NO, repeat NO checkpoints! If you crash once you MIGHT still
-
- be able to finish it, but bump 2 more walls and your history.
-
-
-
- here is the final course guide
-
- ----------------------------------
-
- - this course could be in some part of the countryside anywhere in the
-
- world? how about scotland? what do you think?
-
-
-
- - you are driving through a country road, none of them are paved, you pass
-
- hills and fields, and the sun is setting, fall colors are all around you
-
- as you see the dusk approaching, lakes go by, bridges, and plenty of
-
- dirt everywhere you look , lots of tire tracks too! as you approach the
-
- final turn , spectators are waiting to cheer
-
-
-
- - oh by the way, did i mention that the road is very narrow, there are
-
- dirt hills on both sides, any car that overttakes you will hit you,
-
- and you have no traction? just thought it might help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
-
-
- - NO checkpoints!
-
-
-
- road conditions - ALL unpaved dirt , and mostly all medium turns and hard turns
-
-
-
- < first and last checkpoint >
-
-
-
- - 3 seconds to get ready to start
-
-
-
- start turning now
-
- --------------------------------------------------------
-
- [MR]
-
- you start off in a wooded area, with wooden fences on both sides
-
- of the road, you will up quickly on medium right turn
-
-
-
- road condition : unpaved / dirt
-
-
-
- ------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- automatic - peel out quickly and reach full speed, but then get
-
- ready to brake moderately until you are at about 100 km/h and (60 mp/h)
-
- steer over to the right, cut in early and slide out of it, and tap
-
- the brakes to maintain control
-
-
-
- manual - shift down to 3rd and about 110 km/h (68mp/h) , turn to the right
-
- and slide through the turn going from the far left apex to center
-
- to the near right side, as you straighten out for the next turn,
-
- a left approaches
-
- -------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- ===================================================================
-
- recovery
-
- --------
-
- unfortunately, if you start hitting the wall, not only is this
-
- going to mess you up, you will probably stop, get hit by the
-
- car behind you, and lose incredible amounts of time,
-
- the recovery technique for this turn , and every other turn
-
- on this course , is TOO BRAKE ALL OVER THE PLACE AND SLOW DOWN
-
- if you're going to hit something , hit it slowly, and you can
-
- still get back up to speed, if you don't brake YOU WILL COME
-
- TO A COMPLETE STOP AND YOU WILL BE DOOMED FOR THE REST OF THE
-
- RACE (you might finish it if you don't touch another wall,
-
- but why risk it?) if you're good enough to get here, you
-
- really don't need this advice!
-
-
-
- penalty
-
- -------
-
- a couple of tenths of a second to one to not finishing!

- IV) Final stuff - Tricks / Rumors
-
-
-
- a)q: any tricks yet?
-
- a: not that i know of. i tried all the daytona tricks i could think of, except
-
- for entering intials of other sega games, couldn't figure any out yet..??
-
-
-
- but wait, there's more!
-
-
-
- 1) new informational view
-
-
-
- ----------- Trick 1--------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- Hold down START and VIEW when selecting car will get alternate view.
-
- (No rear view mirror seconds clock in bottom righthand of screen along
-
- with a split time based on best time the machine has in memory.
-
- Figure is red if you are beating the best time (as well as shows minus
-
- figure eg -0.80)
-
-
-
- ----------- Trick 2--------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- 2) instant select screen
-
- to get into the game without having to wait for the 10 second timer
-
- (and have somebody jump in on you)
-
- press brake , and gas simultaneously , insert coins, and hold
-
- down both buttons (start and view) and BANG! instant select screen,
-
- NO WAITING !
-
-
-
- ----------- Trick 3--------------------------------------------------
-
-
-
- 3) different car characteristics
-
- to get different car capabilities (slides more easily)
-
- press brake and gas, and while selecting you car (either one)
-
- shift 1st/2nd/3rd/4th and you will hear a WHOOOSH! sound which
-
- means you did it right, now the car handles differently as you
-
- will soon see.
-
-
-
- b) RRRYYYYYUUUUUMMOOORRSS
-
-
-
- 1) supposedly you can get the lakeside course in practice mode
-
- and no, completing the Championship is NOT the only way to get to it.
-
- there _is_ a code involving the gearshifts on the stage select in
-
- Practice mode - you have to keep the selector on Mountain, and
-
- enter the gearshifts 1>2>3>4.
