RC2K - Pirelli stage 2 ???

by Jacka » Thu, 02 Dec 1999 04:00:00

 Anyone have any tips or set-up advice for the 2nd stage of the Pirelli
rally (the second in the champ)

Forget the name but teh course has a lot of high ridges and 3 "hidden"
turns that at first, trick you into going into a dead end/close off
road.

I am having problems here - I can get 1 minute up on the computer in
stage 1 but here I am losing 40 secs or so and my car is deteriorating
rapidly.

That's the fun part of RC2K! You really have to listen to the co-driver
to get good times. I always drive with all visuals off except for the
rev-counter and car info. So my advise is that you learn to devide your
concentration between the driving and the listening.

Also some memory training could be useful. I really hate it if the
co-driver says something like: 800 left2 in-2 right3 in-2 long left1.
Does he really think I still know all that after almost a kilometer
of driving way too fast over way too narrow roads? I usually try to
remember only the sharpest turn and prepare for that. If I even have
the time to seperate the into 2's form the left/right 2's if you know
what I mean. :-\

It's one of the things that introduces gameplay to RC2K rather than pure
simulation ie; it seems that frequently the co-driver calls are deliberately
late or confusing or misleading. Yes you need to listen carefully but never
trust him/her entirely and on some stages like the one mentioned you need to
try and memorize the worst places.
Great game though !  Andrew.
