Rossi is the Italian team in Car and Driver Presents: Grand Tour Racing '98.
1997 Manual Description[]
Team Rossi comes from the medieval town of Fiesole, Italy, where roads narrow without warning and cobblestones quickly turn to dirt. When the carefree members of the Rossi team are not romancing the local ragazzas or enjoying fine wine, they can be found hot-footing through the rugged Florentine countryside. This off-road experience, "Italian-style", has made Rossi a team to contend with in Egypt.
About Rossi[]
Rossi is one of the two teams without an assigned home track, sharing this distinction with Morgen. Their vehicles are predominantly adorned with green and yellow colors, complemented by red number 7s. The hallmark of Rossi's cars lies in their exceptional speed, achieved through lightweight construction. However, their focus on speed comes at the cost of poor stability, leaving them susceptible during collisions.
As an AI opponent, Rossi consistently starts races from the rear, often alongside Morgen, trailing behind the other AI competitors. AI Rossi has gained recognition for their ability to stage impressive comebacks. Their strategy involves a deliberate slow start in the first lap, followed by a surge in the final lap to overtake numerous opponents. Despite their proficiency across various car classes, AI Rossi's overall performance fluctuates from one race to another. They are notably weaker in sand races, and therefore does not contend in Egypt, despite the manual description suggesting otherwise.
