TOCA Race Driver 2 (2004) - Every PC Rally Game
0TOCA Race Driver 2 by Codemasters, 2004.
Codemasters sequel to the ToCA Touring Cars rebrand went a lot further into other racing disciplines. This included hoiking over the Subaru Impreza and Mitsubishi Evo from the Colin McRae Rally games, and even dropping in Nicky Grist as a co-driver on the (limited; all in Spain) proper rally stages.
Being inherently a tarmac racing game, the offroad sections suffered a bit, with unexpected handling issues! Here I'm running the Pro-Simulation handling, which just seems to make it even more twitchy and likely to spin out, hence my reduced pace! The Impreza and Evo are also available in ice racing (Impreza only), rallycross and street racing, so I've mixed it up a bit here for variety (9 clips of the Spanish stages would get repetitive!).
The biggest issue of the rally sections (apart from the heavy/twitchy handling) is gravity; when you get airborne you can feel the car almost floating down like a feather, it's a bit odd, to be honest, and you can see it in a couple of clips.
But if ToCA Race Driver 2 was Codemasters extending the brand (in doing so, dropping the BTCC British Touring Cars series seemingly forever), the third game in the series would really take it up to the next level of racing variety! We'll get to ToCA Race Driver 3 in due time though...
