Bugs and Others
A fifth patch to the game was released on 3/31/2000. This
patch addresses crashes (the game, not your car), miscellaneous bugs, network
performance, car physics, and general tweaks and polishing. I would consider
the game "complete" at this point.
Conclusion
RC does not attempt to out-sim Grand Prix
Legends. I don't even know if that level of realism is even
desirable for a rally racing game. RC is not, however, a day at
the arcade like Sega Rally 1 & 2. Good car set ups are
rewarded, as is thoughtful and careful driving. In the end, RC is
a great deal of fun and a very rewarding game. In fact, it's the most
fun I've ever had with any racing game and close to the best time I've had
with my PC period. The only thing keeping the game from a perfect score
is the average sound quality. So slip on your Nomex, buckle up your 5-point
harness, and fire up that 4 banger, you're in for a hell of a ride!
