Really nice work on this, some of the turns go really well. Have noticed you change the gear into 4th really late though.

thanks, I had thought that a few times i was topping out in third so maybe need to work on that

Nice work again, well done on that Desert time, it's almost perfect. The forest stage didn't go so well, and it's usually the same for me too, on all those turns.

Hi pal.

Impressive times aside, it was just as much fun watching your expressions!

Much better hearing the sega sounds as well.

What time are you aiming for?

Thanks neil,

aiming for sub 3:21 first then see how impossible it looks to get sub 3:20

Managed to get a go at this earlier

Had a good crack at it and on the third I managed to clear the Mountain stage !

Took some pics of my times then realised I was using the Lancia instead of the Celica which you guys have been using...

Nevermind I've got a start on it, will have a good few go's with the right car this next week, as you can see I have a long way to go

It's a start Dean, get some games in to get rid of that poo

My first times were in the 3:28's.

It doesn't matter whether you use the celica or delta but stick to one machine as they handle subtly differently. You'll find it tricky until you get used to changing gears without thinking and you've gotta learn the courses obviously.

Had a few goes on my Sega rally after rebuilding the power supply and managed to beat my best time by 2 hundredths of a stir second. Was just a quick go so not streaming unfortunately..

Seriously impressive times HB

I've been practising for a while on my sega rally twin with the goal of breaking the 3.25 barrier (which I finally did):

But watching your playthrough had given me loads of areas where I could improve. So thanks very much! Couple of quesitons - is the consensus that the Celica is faster than the Delta? Seems that way for me.

And what do you reckon is the absolute fastest time possible with a perfect run?

Congrats on breaking 3:25. Keep going you will make large improvements

My scoreboard (before my machine died) required sub 3:22:50 to get in the top 16. Haven't had any time to play much lately.

Based on some of the lap times I have got when racing and cocking up a lap or too, some of my best times are

Desert 55:55 - always remember this

Forest sub 1:16

Mountain sub 1:08

Probably around 3:19:50

Assumng you don't use the Lancia Stratos (although that does keep a separate score table).

Great thing about this game is the handling and you can always chase 3 perfect laps.

Thanks - it's good to know what to aim for! Awesome desert time.

I need to put some serious practice in with manual transmission.

I've played it a fair amount on the model 2 emulator version as well, but that seems to run faster and has different positioning of the opponents, so I'm not sure it's really comparable with the arcade.

Yeah seen some silly times done on Model 2, and the cars are in easy position it appears by default.

It was like playing monkey ball on the gamecube the timing was fixed to refresh so the timer ran at different speeds in 50Hz and 60Hz modes.

Keep up the playing

Just recorded a quick video of Sega Rally for my students (we do a unit on arcade history). Thought I'd have a go at playing automatic while trying to film on my phone didn't do that bad, the filming is rubbish, it's hard trying to play and keep looking through the phone to see where you are waving it.

Impressive single-handed racing! Some kind of head-mounted wide-angle camera would be useful. I did strap my phone to my head for a mame pc demonstration i did!

I got back to a bit of sega rally the other day after not touching it for a month or so. getting closer to breaking the 3'24 now.

i had a few scrapes on my best MT time, so I'm sure that can go under 3'24. The AT time seemed like a really smooth run, but could probably have been a bit more aggressive with some of the turns.

I finally got into the 3.23s, which means my fastest manual gears time is faster than my best automatic.

Having watched your video more HB, you go down into 2nd gear in lots of places where i only go down into 3rd. I've been worried about losing speed, but I guess you get better traction and a better line.

Also - should I be using the Delta? I switched to the Celica a while back as it seemed slightly faster, but your best times are with the Delta aren't they?

Well done, you will improve from there for sure.

I can do similar times in both cars. Going into second stops you sliding too much but you need to get back up the gears (don't hang in second)
