With Nascar Heat (soon to be reviewed), STCC2 (reviewed 230401) and, above all, loads of programming duties, I simply don't have the time to keep my CMR2 "PRO" championship going on.

I am currently stopped at Australia, waiting for a couple of free days to drop the hammer, again :). But while that doesn't happen, and because some people sent me some impressive times, I decided to upload/update my best scores. Check them below.

I am also publishing a second round of great snapshots. This time, I only selected 15 pictures, because they all frame the same car: the Peugeot 206 WRC.

Just click on any picture to see the the equivalent 1024x768 JPG snapshot. Notice that the original picture has far better quality, but I had to reduce the pictures' quality to make the download times more bearable.

If you are alien to PC gaming, please do click on at least one picture to marvel yourself with its realism, knowing that the quality has been greatly reduced!

Check the 210201 update, for more CMR2 action. Visit the 281200 update for my original review of CMR2.

Colin McRae 2 - My best times (waiting for your challenge)

Notes:

#1) times until Australia (exclusive) are "serious" times, since I scored them after some practice; times after that were done on my first days with the game, just to promote me to the "pro" level, where every rally has two extra tracks, as you can read below.

#2) All the times are achieved with a MS FF Wheel, with separate axes for throttle and brakes. The game is played with ALL DETAILS pushed to the max, meaning that I'll have all the road objects ON (don't cut corners!).

#3) All times are achieved on championship mode, meaning that the car will be racing with some damage, on some tracks, if I damaged it before.
