REVISION HISTORY: v1.0--Started this document.
I only planned to convert my 10 Year Champ.
Settings Guide from my Web Page but decided
to go for a full blown FAQ instead. Hooray!
====================================================================
A. INTRODUCTION
====================================================================
Sega Rally 2 is the first racing game for the Dreamcast. It's a
great racer with a nice mixture of realism and arcadishness(word?).
What you may notice about Sega Rally 2 is that the emphasis isn't on
speed alone, you need to have great control over your car in order
to reach the top speeds. This control issue can be very frustrating
if you'rejust beginning to play this great title. That's why I
decided to include a Control and Playing Tips section. Give this game
a chance and I'm sure you'll get hooked on it.
====================================================================
B. CONTROLS / PLAYING TIPS

These are the default controls for the game
PLAYING TIPS
<>
Truth be told, I hadn't played Sega Rally 2 for a while thanks to
Giant Gram,Power Stone,Marvel vs Capcom, etc...but I've recently got
hooked on it again. I don't feel my skills are at the level they
should be just yet to write up this section, but once I'm back
"in the groove" so to speak, I'll start this section up. Next update
probably.
====================================================================
C. 10 YEAR CHAMPIONSHIP GUIDE
====================================================================
This is the main reason I created this FAQ, along with the Playing
Tips section but seeing as how that is under construction at the moment,
this will make up the bulk of the document.
The 10 Year Championship mode in SR2 is the biggest addition to the
home version from the arcade. Yes there's Network Play but I have an
Asian DC and wouldn't spend the money for the LD calls to Japan anyway^_^
Each year in the 10 Yr Championship is made up of 4 races, and it's
your goal to be in 1st place at the end of the year. No, you don't have
to come in 1st for every race. This is Rally racing! IMO they could've
added a couple more races for each year to make it seem longer, but oh
well. It's still very fun as it is. In order to come in 1st at the end
of the year you have to pass a certain number of cars in each race.
To do this you have to fiddle with your cars settings to get the most
out of it during the races. This Guide contains my suggestions for each
year, including what car to pick and where to toggle the settings.
I also list what car you win for coming in 1st for each year.
The Guide is setup like this:
YEAR #--Suggested Car
RACE #(Terrain Type)
Tires: Type of tire to use
Brakes: -5 to +5, the "quickness" of the breaks
Steer: -5 to +5, how loose or tight the Steering will be
Rear: -5 to +5, how soft or hard the Rear Suspension will be
Front: -5 to +5, how soft or hard the Front Suspension will be
Gear: -5 to +5, how low or high the Gear Ratio will be
Place: The minimun place you must come in to have a chance at 1st
Win Car: Name of the car you win for coming in 1st.
Years 9 and 10 coming next!
====================================================================
D. NEXT REVISION
====================================================================
The next revision should come fairly soon. In it I should have all
10 years completed in the 10 Year Championship Guide, as well as some
Playing Tips.
As always you can find this, and any other FAQ I've written at my
homepage, and feel free to e-mail me anytime if you have any questions.
I'll do my best to answer them^_^
