I've not played it, but at 1:20 the co-driver announces a corner requires a handbrake turn. Did 4TCs have a rear wheel handbrake?

Good question- but I reckon it couldn't have. :?

I'd like to have a go at the game even if I had no handbrake option... :lol:

Thing is, maybe it had two handbrakes - one for parking and one for driving on rally stages with so to speak?

I'm sur the 4TC had a rear handbrake, bear in mind there's very little BX under them!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!

Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

You would not design a Group B rally car with a front handbrake. :roll:
That is a definate NO NO!!!!!!!!! :lol:

The only 2 major design flaws with the BX in winter conditions are the front handbrake and the washer pipe on the wiper arm.
Other than those you can't beat them for traction in snow.(especially a Diesel/Turbo Diesel)
:wink:

Yes... Great driving a BX in a video game, but I certainly couldn't recommend paying for the game. I got it for free, and felt a bit let down. Maybe worth picking it up second hand in a few months when it's a tenner.

Just bear in mind that you have to pay extra for the Group B add on pack.

I like this video recommended to me after watching that:

Pretty sure from what i've seen the 4tc has/had a 'normal' hand brake on the front, and a hydraulic fed rear wheel locker on the back.

Yup, cable on front and non-latching hydraulic rear (like most rally cars)
