Thanks to everybody!

Cyborg_hun>> Great! The profile spot will be your for issue #2 :D

Both videos and screenshots from Mexico would be great!

So far videos would have to be very short to keep the size down, perhaps just crashes, jumps and superstage shots?

JTL that is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I liked the photos, interviews, everything about that was brilliant :D
I'd also contribute for the driver info section (tannat's bit), if you'd like me to.

And that Focus is looking fantastic.

Ah! Fantastic work NOR. Will you be releasing it as a download? I'd love to have a go with it :D

Ah! Fantastic work NOR. Will you be releasing it as a download? I'd love to have a go with it :D
Thanks, the car is not final version yet. I´m going to make step2 with few details. You can read more about the development in magazine later on, I hope.
So, the release for downloads will be during the next months. I want to offer car with fixed bugs, probably as Two Basses version and as a white template version.
Two Basses Ford Team Europe will be run the car on Rally Mexico, and more testing tracks. Releasing will be announced here, or in Rally Magazine then. I´ll be very proud of every interest in running my car.

Hows about a poll, results posted each issue, eg, favourite car, etc.

I'll do a driver info if they are now on the ground.

It's fab seeing this level of enthusiasm-cheers JTl :up:

Suggested future articles:

-Interview with the organizer

-Preview upcoming rally by reviewing previous year's edition

-Each issue have a single stage challenge where everyone takes one specific car over one stage with default settings (or not). Results printed next issue

-Solicit responses to questions like: Your favorite CMR2 car/stage/rally...

More thoughts to come, but you're doing a great job!

Tannat

Tannat, thanks alot! comments and ideas like this, really keeps the magazine going! You have just earned yourself a job on the editorial staff if you´d like!?

>>-Interview with the organizer
Already planning that, but it might get better if it was done by someone with a longer history in the championship than me.. (you perhaps ;-) )

>>-Each issue have a single stage challenge
Nice idea, but the issues of the magazine won't be published as often in the furure, and I feel that short challenges/races like this are much better suited for the forum as they often generate quite alot of posts! :-)

But any kind of series or races will be supported by the magazine!

Btw, a superstage rally like the Bettega Memorial would be great to do!

>>-Preview upcoming rally by reviewing previous year's edition
Good idea, but again more suitable for the forum as there is no regular schedule for the publishing of issues

>>-Solicit responses to questions like: Your favorite CMR2 car/stage/rally...
Hmm, a google search of the word "Solicit" gives me some pretty strange results :s hock: , please explain

I'm working on some sort of poll thing, subject for the polls woul be more than welcome by pm!

>>I'll do a driver info if they are now on the ground.
Feel free to PM me your info, then I'll squeeze you in! :D

LMAO

I think solicit means that they give reasons aswell as the straight answers

For example

What is your favourite car?
Ford Focus

That isn't solicit. But this is:

What is your favourite car?
Ford Focus, because it's easy to handle, quick on tarmac, and has a brilliant livery!

Excellent work! It's amazing how much people still enjoy CMR2 so long after it was released, despite there being newer versions and other rally games. It proves that Codies got the formula right with this one.

Will keep an eye out for the new Focus WRC. The screenshots look great.
