Our next Rally is open for sign-up.

After the last Club Rally proved to be a bit of a beast, we have tried to make this one more "friendly" for the less experienced drivers.

For this one, we return to the great historic RWD Pack, and choose the Toyota Starlet. This car is the easiest of the RWD cars to drive, but still offers a lot of fun.

We will run all stages using the Mix Mod across selected stages in England and Japan. All stages present a mix of gravel and tarmac surfaces, which should suit the little Starlet quite well. Weather conditions are pretty mild too, although we have upped the challenge a little for the later stages.

This time, we revert back to Reduced damage, to make things a little less demanding for newer drivers to enjoy the nimble handling of the little Starlet.



DRIVER BRIEFING NOTES:

1. This car is typical RWD but it's handling is much easier than most of the RWD cars. It is not as powerful, but more than makes up for it with quite nimble handling. Aggressive driving should be rewarded with good times.
As with all RWD cars, the Handbrake will not be operable.

2. RBR Pacenotes are designed for default cars, Normal conditions and Good weather. Please remember to adjust your speeds to suit this car.

3. Tyre selections are the drivers responsibility. If you use the automatic tyre selection option in RSRBR2012, please beware that sometimes it may give you the wrong tyre for the conditions. Always double check your tyres, it is critical.

4. Mix Mod Stages means the stages will be include sections of tarmac and gravel. Drivers will need to vary their driving a bit to suit the varying surfaces as they are presented.

If requests are made for any additional timezones, or changes to Start times to better suit your local needs, we will try to include them ( but within the Monday/Tuesday periods).

Sorry about the corny Rally Title, I was short of inspiration.

Good luck all, you should enjoy throwing this little RWD car around.

Will try to make this again.

How to drive a Twinkle Little Starlet..

For anyone who missed it, I've now added Damien's great Banner.
Even when I give him a very cheezy title, he finds inspiration for a classic Banner.

I like the banner
