WHAT’S RALLY?

SAVING FILES

In medieval Europe, soldiers would compete to reach the castle in the quickest time...
here the word rally was born. Rally driving takes place mainly on public roads, offering
a vastly different experience to the maintained tracks of Formula 1. Racing at breakneck
speed, over various terrain and through all weather conditions, the speed and adrenaline
of rally racing has attracted fans from all over the world.

CARS

Production model cars are used as the base for selection.

COURSES

The surface of each course varies from tarmac to dirt and snow. Rally driving requires
quicker judgment and a wider range of techniques than circuit racing. Because of this,
the world’s best drivers are said to be rally drivers.

CO-DRIVERS

To assist with the navigation of the course each car has a co-driver. Without their support
even the most skilled driver would be unable to drive at such high speeds. Navigators
have a great responsibility and are regarded as another driver – the co-driver.

SPECIAL STAGES

The shortest parts of rally driving are known as Special Stages (SS). Special Stages
are held on closed sections of public road, each car driving at full speed ensuring this
is the most exciting part of rally racing. One day of racing is made up over a number
of Special Stages – the driver who has the fastest total time at the end of the day wins.

SPECTATORS

Because rallies are held on regular roads the whole course becomes a vantage point
for spectators. With no seats or fences, spectators are free to stand where they wish
to watch the rally drivers’quest for glory.

A memory card [Visual Memory Unit (VMU) sold separately] is required to save this game

After Finishing Play

Select “SAVE&LOAD GAME” from the Mode Select menu and make sure to save
your game. It is also possible to save the game at the end of each race from the
Result menu. This game does not save automatically, if the power is turned OFF
before saving, your game files will be lost.

Continuing Play
