I was watching the FIA Rally year in review show on Speedvision last night,
and heard something kinda neat. They did a quick in-car shot (with audio)
of Colin McRae, and you could hear has navigator (I forget at the moment
what the passenger is called) say "over crest" (or whatever he says) and it
sounded identical to the voice in CMR1 and 2. I just thought that was kinda
neat. I been trying to keep up on this FIA Rally stuff on Speedvision since
getting digital cable, and it's really an intriguing series. It makes CMR2
much more enjoyable.

Cool. Here in Norway, without eurosport, we only have to stick with
half an hour review on swedish tv.
You know, Colin's navigator is the one that have read the messages
in CMR. (If you didn't already know)

>Well since you are driving as Colin McRae in CMR2 I see no reason why Grist
shouldn't be calling out the calls... I haven't played CMR2, but I'd guess
Nicky Grist (McRaes co-driver) certainly did the voice overs.
The accuracy of the navigator messages is really good in CMR2 as well. Nice
to see that every corner and kink is announced properly, so you're never
left guessing. That's one of the things which let down V-Rally 2.
It says on the CMR2 box that not only did Codemasters sample Nicky Grist's
voice, but he also helped them work out the system they use in the game,
which is probably why it's so reliable. Interesting to see that 2-left is
sharper than 4-left in CMR2, but the other way round in most rally games.
