A Chill Chilean Drive - H2 FWD @ Chile - 17th to 21st May 2024

[Roy Magnes]

After a fast (for some) rally last week, it's time to slow down the pace a bit for this weeks Club Rally. So we'll take on the H2 FWD class in a nice, chill drive in Chile.


Session Open: 17th of May to 21st of May 2024
Cars: H2FWD
Itinerary:

The rally should open and close at midnight CET (22:00 UTC), if my after-the-fact-calculations are correct.

Assists & Tuning: Allowed
Hardcore Damage: On!

Have fun!

To participate in the event, you must join our WRC-game Rally Club.
You can also read more about the Rally Club here.

I hope I've set up the times and dates the correct way for the rally, I have not had a look at this in the new game for a looong time

Have fun, everyone!

Aaaand @Ole Marius Myrvold - this thread could probably use a pin

 

[Roy Magnes]

The times was set to midnight CET, so UTC+2. You have been warned

And thanks for the pin @Neilski

@Neilski is stalking us, but not driving! :O

Note: Last service is Medium and not the usual long here! (Not that a long one is needed for a short stage, eh?) ;D

That was my thoughts when I set it up indeed

@Roy Magnes Changed the thread title to make it more uniform, also edited the "car class" in the OP that you had left on Rally1 ;P

Thanks for setting it up

Haven't driven for a while now - must get back to it soon, but one minor obstacle is that I don't actually own the club's current rally sim

I did the first two stages drunk with no major issues.
happy 17th of may southerners, next friday is my birthday (GL everyone)
Roy my mother used to work at Modum bad a couple of years ago before she retired

So is that the way to go ?
Also, in this heat?! wow!

The whole area around there is really nice with all the old buildings and nature

 

[Karln3r]

only 13 degrees here but being drunk might help one take some more chances

That's where I live

Can you see why me and Roy are good friends?

Eh, trounced any chance for a good result by messing too much in last two stages, due to chronic understeer on red worn softer tyres that had to last the final 3 stages. Hopefully, Peugeot drivers should have an easier time, as the VW is more prone to become a truck later on.

1. car completely refusing to respond to handbrake, as the front wouldn't grip enough to rotate over

Overall went okay'ish, but the absurd way tyre sets are selected/ordered in this game made it harder than it had the right to be, so as the impossibility to re-select a less worn set when new ones aren't available.

Well, at least this time I didn't total the car at the end of the very first sector at SS1, as in the previous event that forced me to retire (way too) early.

GL all

impossibility to re-select a less worn set when new ones aren't available.

yep, that is soooo annoying. will do my bit tonight, maybe in one go.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

wow, car pretty beaten up after the long middle stint but still running. Last three stages tomorrow, albeit another longish one first, hope the Peugoet won't let me down.
40 secs down on @Karln3r atm, but he did well in the next two stages, so don't think I'll be able to catch him. We were nice and close in stage2, though:

You're on a Gr. N3 car vs. more powerful Gr. A7 entries, on an event with steep hillclimbs. Keep it up!

(Still, I suspect CM took some liberties to better match them, so Colin's N3 309 can fare better. Even the 205 has a curious case of an 88' 1.6L A6 licensed Colin livery, a UI "1991" from DR2's RB's 1.9L N3 car livery that is gone now, but stated power matches the works >87' 1.9L Gr.A7. I miss a contemporary Renault 11 Turbo (late) in this class to spice things up.)

And on that looong country. The area we are talking about is approx in the green here (hint: Where the bottom right white and blue hits):

I was wondering why this thing did not like the climbs, lol. Thx for the info, ignorance may not always be bliss, I learned that.
