| Championship mode
Successfully complete Arcade in Amateur mode (four stages) to unlock Championship mode. Note: Arcade is mush easier than Career mode because you only have to be in time to each checkpoint. World Pro mode Successfully complete Championship mode (eight stages) to unlock World Pro mode. In World Pro mode, the cars are a lot quicker but the brakes are more efficient. Bonus cars Successfully complete World Pro in Arcade mode (twelve stages) to unlock three classic cars: the Mini Cooper, Lancia Stratos, and Audi Quattro. You can only use the classic cars in Quick Race mode. Save money In order to save money, try all the cars you can in Quick Rally mode. You can also skip the 1600 class as it has similarities to Privateer cars. Unlock the Vauxhall Astra in 'Race Pace Car' and use it in Career mode, which will unlock all 2000 cars that can be used in Quick Rally mode. Suspension When the surface is hard as gravel, rock, or both of them together has the highest number, use 'Soft' on suspension. Set a low number on 'Brake Bias' (forward-back relation). This makes the car more 'skiddy', but easier to countersteer. At high number brakes, the car comes to a stop easier, however it goes straightforward in corners. Braking Skid into a turn, not in it. Brake, let go, brake, let go, etc. As long as you have a good track, not much braking is necessary, except in turns called '4' or '5' or 'any number -tightens'. Listen to your co-driver carefully. Handbrake turns This is useful where there are many hairpins, as in Kaihuavaara, Lapland. Hold the handbrake momentarily, the use the normal brake if necessary, and steer all the time. Visual warnings Set 'Warnings' and 'Pace Notes' on in 'Visual'. This will display a warning sign for hinders and an arrow which indicates how tight a corner is. Recommended cars Privateer: Skoda Felicia 1600: Honda Civic 2000: Vauxhall Astra Pro: Mitsubishi EVO VI Those are all all-around cars which can be used on any stage. The handling is good and you can quickly counter-steer if you are about to lose the grip. They are middleweight cars, meaning that they are more durable than light ones. Africa Glengap: You travel along a mountainside. The surface can be rough, the space tight, and a few square turns (90 degrees) can make the first stage a challenge. Brake in good time before a turn. The Hyundai Coupe from the 2000 class is very fun to use at this stage. Lapland Pen-Y-Coed: Watch the outside of turns, as hinders are rather frequent here. The turns are often long, which is good for high speed. At the gravel spot, the road is narrow. Brake and let go quickly at the tight corners. Manx Kaihuavaara: Night stage. Many hairpins and snow for the first time. Take it easy. Brake carefully with the handbrake and normal brake if necessary. Watch for solid obstacles like walls, vehicles and street lamps which are near the road. Skoda Felicia is a good car here. Scotland Tsavo: Use caution after the helicopter appears. There is a tight left and a 5 right in front of the Tvbus. Brake in good time before it. There are many tight turns. USA Arizona: 100% Tarmac stage. The roads are very wide, like a highway with four lanes. It is easy to skid through each curve, even '5's and hairpins. A very fast and fun stage. Wales Glenmooar: Another city stage with lots of houses and a narrow road. Similar to Ristilampi, except for the snow. |
