Greater Manchester, EnglandSo in the last year I've held a rallying speedrunning marathon based around the Colin McRae Rally/DIRT Series and this time we are back for a third installment with McRaeathon 3.
We are raising money this time around and are allowing all off-road racing/rallying games so if that sounds like the kind of marathon you'd like to be a part of be sure to check out the official thread and submit some of your favourite runs today! 😃

Hi there, So when playing this game and doing the World Xplorer Any% speedrun I noticed the amount of races you can do on the Basic Route and thought what about creating a category to complete all races on the Basic Route as well? Granted it would take a lot longer but for those such as myself willing to give it a try why not eh? :)
Hi there, So I recently picked this game up again and started playing it and I remembered that there was a Rally DLC released for the game a few years ago so I was thinking if I did a run of Any% (Complete the final rally event as fast as possible) would a leaderboard be able to be created for it? You could have it as a Misc. one if needed as it is DLC rather than something that is involved with the standalone game?
Hi there, I'd like to consider running the full game at some point soon however there seems to be no proper route guide for Any% and if someone does have one any chance you could put a link here so that others like myself can download and use it? Many Thanks

So a few weeks ago before the new year I had a thought about some extra categories for the game that might interest a few people :D
The categories will most likely be Misc. as I don't think they need to be main categories due to their length, the ideas though? Complete a city (Complete Miami, Complete San Francisco, Complete Los Angeles and Complete New York)
I have done runs on the PS1 version of the game and have a rough idea of where the runs should start and where they should finish but I think it would be better to hear other people's opinions on this one so thoughts anyone? :)

Recently I've been thinking about new categories that we could have for this game, mainly for the PSP version. These ideas for categories are as follows:
-
All Treasure Arenas (Complete all Treasure Arenas as fast as possible, choice can be made as to whether to start this from a new game or using a pre-existing one. The difference here would be that if you used a pre-existing save such as a completed all missions one then this run could be finished within around 20-30 minutes whereas the other option would take about 1 hour 20 mins ish from a new save)
-
Any% NG+ (Complete all levels aside from Treasure Arenas, run would start at The Prison and finish at defeating The Kraken. Run would approximately take near to a little over an hour)
Any thoughts on both of these ideas would be much appreciated :)
Hi there, recently I was testing out the NTSC version of this game and to no surprise it is a lot faster than PAL however there's a hitch which is that, in the NTSC Version the game hardlocks and freezes near the end of Destroy the Yard (Last mission in Vegas)
This seems to be a reoccurring thing on ePSXe but was wondering if anyone had any similar problems with the same version of the game on other emulators?
If it is a major problem on emulator then it seems like a NTSC PS2 with FDS enabled and the NTSC version of this game is your quickest option at running this game.
Hi all, Recently I've been doing some quick research into the different region versions of the PS1 version of the game and found out the following: PAL - Runs at 25FPS normally, can be run at 50FPS as doubled PAL (I believe can be used for this game since it's used in many other games?)
- Police spawn at a slower rate so you have a easier time of getting to the end of missions most of the time without a tail however IGT is slower as are loading screens.
NTSC - Runs at 30 FPS normally, can be run at 60FPS as Doubled NTSC (No idea if this is allowed or not)
- Police spawn more frequently so having a tail near the end of the mission is more common making runs harder as a whole so having good RNG is needed for a good run with this version. IGT is faster meaning runs are quicker to complete.
Japanese Version is the same as NTSC.
Based on this knowledge: If you have a Japanese or American PS2 along with the same region version of the game and enable FDS then the times should drop for this game by a few mins 🤔
If you have any ideas for new full game categories then be sure to write them down here along with a brief description about the category :)
So there's this game called GT Advance 2: Rally Racing for the GBA and I was thinking if you liked CMR 2.0 on GBA then you'll probably enjoy this one too.
Feel free to have a go at it if you wish and here's the link if you are: https://www.speedrun.com/gtadvance2/full_game
Have Fun ?
