Rally cars are one of the five vehicle classes in Car and Driver Presents: Grand Tour Racing '98. They are the most common car class, being featured in all twelve levels of Scotland and Switzerland combined, as well as in two extra levels.
1997 Manual Description[]
Sophisticated and strong, the four-wheel-drive rally vehicles accelerate rapidly through inclement weather conditions, from thunderstorms to blizzards. These cars provide solid top speeds and excellent handling.
Overview[]
Rally cars appear in fourteen total races, with twelve of these races taking place in Scotland and Switzerland. In Scotland, their top speed ranges from 110 to 140 mph across six levels, while in Switzerland, they can surpass 140 mph. Additionally, they are featured one-time in Moscow and Easter Island.
The rally cars within the game are divided into pairs, being similar in physical appearance and driving characteristics:
- Roberts and Lumiere's European Ford Escorts are middleweight vehicles that excel in commendable top speeds and handling capabilities. However, their acceleration is comparatively slower, and their susceptibility to spinning out during collisions is noteworthy.
- Ahmed and Rossi's Subaru Imprezas offer the fastest and lightest vehicles alongside reasonable handling. However, their poor stability renders them extremely vulnerable during collisions.
- Ivanov's Lancia Delta and Xu's Maxi Mégane, despite distinct physical appearances, share similar traits. Both vehicles boast lower top speeds, offset by their excellent handling and stability.
- Baptiste and Morgen's Toyota Celicas embrace heavyweight builds, demonstrating high top speeds and commendable stability. However, their handling is intricate.
