I've d/l'd the Rally Championship patch v4 from the simracing news
website, which gives a new ral.exe file, and also allows configuration
of the games physics settings (much complained about by some people!)
If you do not have one already, make a ral.cfg file (using notepad or
similer) and save it to your rc\var directory.
Using this text file (once the patch has been installed) you can specify
all sorts of settings to make the cars brake longer, reduce or increase
grip on various surfaces, etc, etc.
Check out these sites for the patch (and when you d/l it read the
patch.txt file for all the details of what can be changed):

After some experimentation today, my ral.cfg file has the following
lines....
--------------------
patchstickygrass=0
patchdamages=50
patchbrakegrip=50
patchslidegrip=80
patchmaxdrawdistance=10
-----------------------
This turns off the sticky grass, so you do not slow down when on grass,
reduces the amount of damage done by 50%, decreases braking power by
50%, (so the car takes twice the distance to stop) increases the cars
sliding slightly, and reduces slightly the amount of graphics drawn in
the distance (to speed up graphics).
This has transformed the game for me. Before these changes it was a good
game, pretty realistic (once the steering sensitivity had been sorted
out) and looked great. Now, the car brakes better, steers better, slides
better, and seems to fly along even quicker than before. It now feels
awesome, the game Colin M Rally should have been!
Get the patch, make the changes (you may want slightly different
settings to me, but use mine as a guide if you like) and enjoy.....

Just one question(or more).What about offline leagues and multiplayer
games?Is there a way to check what settings are being used for one
particular stage run?Can a multiplayer race be set with each participant
using his own settings?Or there is a way to prevent this just as it is done
on GP500 for example?

Can you tell me if these things apply to AI's too?
What I mean is that if you stop allowing yourself to brake by touching the
grass and brakes are only half as effective are you still racing against
AI'S with the same times as before....phew!?!?!
Nice, though, we're already up to patch 4 and I haven't even played it yet,
hopefully, Santa will be arriving soon:-)
