Colin McRae Rally 4 - Strategy Guide (Page 02)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Colin McRae Rally 4 - Strategy Guide (Page 02).

	Start Section
	Length - 1.3km
	Difficulty - 3/5
	Surfaces:
	   95% Compact Snow
	   5%  Dusty Asphalt

	First Section
	Length - 1.3km
	Difficulty - 2/5
	Surfaces:
	   80% Snow on Icy Gravel
	   19% Compact Snow
	   1%  Dusty Asphalt

	Second Section
	Length - 1.2km
	Difficulty - 3/5
	Surfaces:
	   100% Snow on Icy Gravel

	Finish Section
	Length - 1.2km
	Difficulty - 3/5
	Surfaces:
	   96% Compact Snow
	   4%  Snow on Icy Gravel

-Stage Strategies-

For this one, go with the ice and snow tires.  There's a significant amount 
of Snow on Icy gravel here, but the gravel and ice tires are terrible on snow, 
which is the majority of the stage.  If you're in a Championship, go with the 
Snow tires, as a little more than half of this stage and almost all of the 
next one are on Compact Snow.

Watch out at the gate and turn by the train.  You'll need to start the turn 
right after going through the gate, but don't start too soon or you'll hit the 
gate and lose a lot of time.

There's a turn left at the beginning of the Finish Section that's hard to see; 
when you spot the orange fence, take a sharp left.

Stage 4 - Holjes
Length - 4.6km
Difficulty - 3/5
Surfaces:
   84% Compact Snow
   14% Snow on Icy Gravel
   1%  Heavy Snow
   1%  Ice

	Start Section
	Length - 1.1km
	Difficulty - 3/5
	Surfaces:
	   99% Compact Snow
	   1%  Heavy Snow

	First Section
	Length - 1.2km
	Difficulty - 3/5
	Surfaces:
	   64% Compact Snow
	   34% Snow on Icy Gravel
	   2%  Ice

	Second Section
	Length - 1.2km
	Difficulty - 2/5
	Surfaces:
	   79% Compact Snow
	   21% Snow on Icy Gravel

	Finish Section
	Length - 1.1km
	Difficutly - 3/5
	Surfaces:
	   100% Compact Snow

-Stage Strategies-

Go with Snow tires and high gearing on this one.  The Start Section is very 
fast, with the sharpest turn being a 4, and you can really open up the 
throttle right off the bat.

The track gets twistier once you get on the gravel about midway through the 
first section, and you'll have to be even more cautious on the snow tires, 
as they don't grip well on the Snow on Icy Gravel.  Fortunately, this section 
doesn't last long, and once you get back on the snow things straighten out a 
bit and you can let it rip once again, pretty much all the way to the finish.  
All in all, a pretty fast-paced stage.

Stage 5 - Salen
Length - 4.9km
Difficulty - 3/5
Surfaces:
   82% Compact Snow
   17% Snow on Icy Gravel
   1%  Heavy Snow

	Start Section
	Length - 1.3km
	Difficulty - 2/5
	Surfaces:
	   98% Compact Snow
	   2%  Heavy Snow

	First Section
	Length - 1.1km
	Difficulty - 3/5
	Surfaces:
	   99% Compact Snow
	   1%  Heavy Snow

	Second Section
	Length - 1.3km
	Difficulty - 2/5
	Surfaces:
	   100% Compact Snow

	Finish Section
	Length - 1.2km
	Difficulty - 2/5
	Surfaces:
	   73% Snow on Icy Gravel
	   27% Compact Snow

-Stage Strategies-

Go with the snow tires again here, since it's almost all on snow.  That goes 
for Championship as well, since Stage 6 si almost entirely snow as well.  In 
the Second Section, the codriver warns you about a "Care 4 right over crest" 
that never really materializes.  Don't get confused and look out for the 3 
Left that follows it.

Stage 6 - Ostby
Length - 4.5km
Difficulty - 2/5
Surfaces:
   66% Compact Snow
   32% Heavy Snow
   1%  Ice

	   1%  Ice

	Finish Section
	Length - 1.1km
	Difficulty - 2/5
	Surfaces:
	   100% Compact Snow

-Stage Strategies-

Consider going with heavy snow tires here if you're having trouble controlling.
There's almost no ice and gravel to worry about, so you shouldn't be shy about
using them.

Slow it down a bit coming around the turn out of the covered bridge, whipping 
around that turn at the high speed you build up going in there might cause you 
to roll.

==Australia== A very demanding rally.  The fast forest stages and the slippery
pea gravel surfaces require total concentration.
