As much as we could there really wouldn't be any point in creating them as you'd be the only runner to do them individually plus the individual missions are all part of the Any% run so if you want to do the missions I'd recommend doing the Any% run.

Unfortunately I've reached out to the SR.com mods in the past about this and they said no so unfortunately the two games will be separate for the foreseeable future.

You can't really get hold of new copies anymore however I can give you a link where you can find it if you'd like to buy this game? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Colin-McRae-Rally-2-0-PC/dp/B000077W0C/ref=sr_1_2?crid=1KMUU7PD2IODI&dchild=1&keywords=colin+mcrae+rally+2.0&qid=1585760301&s=videogames&sprefix=colin+mc%2Cvideogames%2C181&sr=1-2

Hi there, thanks for your questions.

1. Fixed, you should now be able to select Renault as a manufacturer
2. Stage Evolutions are banned yes however if the championship only allows the Stage Evolutions then you can use them as they are the only car class you can use in that case.

Hi there, I'm a moderator for the Colin McRae Rally series and we have created a page for our multi-game run called The McRae Pentalogy (5 of the first Colin McRae Games ran in order) and I'd like it to be a Multi-Game for it's category extension please?

Here's the link to the page itself: https://www.speedrun.com/the_mcrae_pentalogy/full_game Many Thanks

Hi there, It's awesome to hear you did a full run of the game, you'd be the first to do so :D

As for the rule thing I don't see why we can't add it to the rules so I will do that now, thanks for the suggestion and it has been added to the rules now.

For context on what a Any% run on the GBA version would look like I did a first run as shown here:

Hi there, Recently I came across a run of this game and saw that it could be completed in less than 1h 30 if done correctly and it got me thinking "How long does it take to complete the GBA Version of this game?"

Well I recently did a test run and you're looking at less than 1 hour if everything goes well, I will say I did notice something odd when noting down mission scenes for the films...

So unlike in the PS2 version where you do several acts per film, in the GBA version they have something different. Instead of just doing the films they get you doing several acts of the different films as a tutorial before you get put into the hot seat and have to do the real stunts with the directors like in the PS2 version.

So do we split the GBA version from the PS2 version in terms of category and have 2 categories for the GBA version or not? 🤔

I mean if you want to time it without loads then that's fine although it would have to be you that would have to do it since I've never done it before.

Hi there, I recently did a run of this game and found that after completing the Super GP that there is a Special GP after it, so would time be after completing that GP instead of the Super GP or would it be at the end of the Super GP as it seems to be currently?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this :)

It does work, for some reason it only seems to work properly when you click on the cars and select any. I don't know why this is but once this is done it works properly.

Marathon has been postponed until 2020, apologies for any inconvenience caused.

If it helps with what a 3-Lap speedrun would look like, I did one a while back so we have a time already for those interested :)

Hi there, I recently picked up this game again and found that when looking at the leaderboards that it was mainly IL's (Seems fair as it is a racing game after all) However I couldn't help but notice the main game categories, there's only one and I think we could change that to categories that people could actually speedrun.

Firstly there's the Challenge mode that is in the game, this is broken down in 3 difficulties (Novice, Standard and Expert) now these could be three Misc. categories with the main one being Challenge%.

Challenge% - Beat all Challenge Difficulties in as short time as possible, RTA will be the one that matters here so load times and driving will be important.

Next we have the Support Car Championship mode, now before you think "Wait a minute there's loads isn't there?" Well yes and no and here's why...

The Support Car Championships could be speedruns within themselves and if you wanted to you could have a main category such as "Beat Support Car Championship - Any%" and also since it is all dependent on points and for those completionists like myself - "Beat Support Car Championship - 100%"

The rules for this would be simple, time would start when you select your car and end when you cross the line in the last race for that series. You can use this for the main categories too if you wish.

Looking forward to hearing your responses on this and seeing how you feel about these new categories :)

So in the last year I've held a rallying speedrunning marathon based around the Colin McRae Rally/DIRT Series and this time we are back for a third installment with McRaeathon 3.

We are raising money this time around and are allowing all off-road racing/rallying games so if that sounds like the kind of marathon you'd like to be a part of be sure to check out the official thread and submit some of your favourite runs today! 😃

Submissions close on October 27th 2019

So this was my first time at ESA and I loved the entire week from start to finish :D

Most people have covered my points with both streams being in the same a bad idea and also the whole Street Boyz fiasco (Which I loved btw) Didn't really see too much of the other rooms such as Mafia and the Board Games room as they weren't within my interests but a nice addition to have for those that do use them :)

Ok so to mention a few things that I feel need bringing up, the whole rubbish discussion everyone has mentioned I'm on your side and do agree that people should at the very least put their rubbish in the bins provided since most people that attended are at the point in their lives where they are a adult and putting a little bit of rubbish in a bin isn't that difficult.

The tournament room where they had the races and the GTA San Andreas relay race (Which was incredible btw and I'd recommend keeping that for the next event) was a bit tight and could have done with being in a slightly bigger room if possible.

I thought the hotel was nice as was the room that I stayed in but I have a problem, the whole policy with the food and drink stuff. Now I do understand that they allowed you to take food and drink up to your rooms or you could eat them outside as its the hotel and they expect you to eat their food etc. But when your food and drink is nearly 2x and sometimes 3x the price of what you can get in the supermarkets it becomes a joke and is horrible really to have to pay the extra money for the same thing in the hotel.

A huge plus side to the event was meeting so many new people and old friends from my last few years in speedrunning, it was great to meet you all and I hope we can all meet again soon :)

The actual venue location and where everything was located was perfect travelling distance for me and won't be a factor for me to travel to the event again should it be hosted here in the Summer next year which is great :D

Overall I don't think there's much else to say other than I had one of if not the best time of my life during this ESA event and also I don't think I mentioned the Ice Cream or Popcorn did I? ;) Well in that case I'll sign this off by saying Ice Cream and Popcorn was eaten and it was delicious so credits to the chef on that one :P

@Shandom Send the best times you got, fastest one is the one that counts though :)

Hi there, So when playing this game and doing the World Xplorer Any% speedrun I noticed the amount of races you can do on the Basic Route and thought what about creating a category to complete all races on the Basic Route as well? Granted it would take a lot longer but for those such as myself willing to give it a try why not eh? :)

Sounds good thanks 👍

Hi there, So I recently picked this game up again and started playing it and I remembered that there was a Rally DLC released for the game a few years ago so I was thinking if I did a run of Any% (Complete the final rally event as fast as possible) would a leaderboard be able to be created for it? You could have it as a Misc. one if needed as it is DLC rather than something that is involved with the standalone game?
