Africa: Shortcut
On the normal (not reversed) Africa track with the
railtrack, follow the track and turn right when you get to the
rails. Follow it and you will end up by the checkpoint with about
six seconds off the fastest time.
Recommended 4WD car settings
When playing in time attack mode, you will notice that
the records are all set by using the 1.6L car. A 1.6L FWD car
is much easier to control than a 2.0L 4WD car, as you will find
a 4WD car spins very easily and is difficult to control, whereas
a FWD car is more stable. It is possible to adjust the parameters
so that that the 4WD car drives closer to a FWD car. This will
give the stability of a FWD car and the traction and fun of a
4WD car.
Select the correct tire.
Put front pressure to highest, back pressure to lowest.
Put front suspension to hardest, back suspension to softest.
Leave the ride height and stabilizers at default setting.
Put the gear ratio to your own preference.
Put front differential to fully open, rear differential to fully
close, center differential all the way to 40/60.
Put brake balance to fully rear, brake strength at average.
With this setting you will find your car will not fish-tail or
spin a lot, as the rear part of the car becomes more stable. This
setting is very good for the muddy, slippery and sandy places
like England and Africa, but it is not very good for roads like
France.
