In the PC version of Sega Rally 2, there is a folder named "escort" in the bindata folder, which suggests that Ford Escort (it appears in the arcade version) was going to be in the game. Anyone noticing this yet?

The contents of the folder:

[CODE]

 Volume in drive C is OS

 Volume Serial Number is ECEC-C891


 Directory of C:\Program Files\Sega\SEGA RALLY 2\BINDATA\escort

[/CODE]

As you can see, the wav files are named focus_m*.wav instead, suggesting that Ford Focus could be there. Any word? Is this issue worthy of a seperate TCRF article?

I guess you'll have to try to see if you can make that playable. I suggest swapping the folder names of the Escort and a playable car and run the game to see if that enables the Escort.

Or maybe this might shed some light:

Ok, the Ford Escort is not there.

i swaped out the Escort foles into the directory of another car, and Anecdote was correct, the Escort was replaced by the Kerolla. And i tried my method B going back through the tenth year of the ten year championship, and it didnt give me the alternate cars.....hmmm....still going to be trying to figure it, but now i know for a fact that the Escort is not in the game.

It's possible that they were going to have it but couldn't at the last minute, and they just added different model files instead.
