This week we will take a trip around Madagaskar, where we have encountered some new stages to enjoy! We will utilize the Group A cars that were used in the WRC, so this excludes the Lancer Evo 7, 8 and 9 this time around.

General RBR Club Rally Rules:
1. You must use your real name when signing up for the event.

2. As always, Club Events are for casual fun racing. It's always great fun to be fastest, and win. But this is not the main thing to achieve in Club Events. The club events are for developing your skills and test new cars and stages.

3. The usual RaceDepartment rule do apply. You need to keep two wheels on the road. Even though this is a rally game. We will not check this on replays, but for yourself, and all the other drivers please follow this rule.

4. RaceDepartments Terms of Service do apply. If you haven't read it, or don't remember the 19 points of the ToS. Please read it again.

5. If you feel the need to contact anyone about something that's happened on the forum or on the stages for some reason, you can always report the post. Or you can send a Private Message to either Ole Marius Myrvold or Roy Magnes (by clicking on the link in the names).

6. The RBR Club Staff reserve the right to ban any person from driving in the Rally Club. The time of the ban will differ from each situation.

7. As this is not a circuit, there is no possible way for one driver to affect another during the events. By such, there should not be any reason for drivers to be angry with one eachother after a rally. A good rule is to read through your post before posting it. If it comes across as angry, or full of sarcasm. It might be good idea to wait some more minutes to post. Remember the general RD rule: " Mutual respect between the people using the RaceDepartment.com website(s) and forums. This means you may not personally attack other forum users. malicious behaviour and bullying will not be tolerated. If there is a problem report it to the staff."

8. As in RDRC, restarting stages is not allowed. You are however allowed to start a new session,-and get results from that, if you have not passed the first sector on the first stage. If you have passed the first sector on the first stage. That session will count towards the result.

DRIVER BRIEFING NOTES:

1. These cars are powerful beasts with 4WD, so take care out there!

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

3. Tyre selections are the drivers responsibility. If you use the automatic tyre selection option in RSRBR2015, please beware that sometimes it may give you the wrong tyre for the conditions. Always double check your tyres, it is critical, especially for Snow Stages.

4.Please ensure to install the all the packs needed. Everything needed is linked to in blue in the opening post!

5. Password is the usual RD password - if you for some reason do not know that. PM @Ole Marius Myrvold

6.Please report any problems caused by the stages, or the inability to make sessions, posts and times right from the Rally Club Staff!

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).

And with this post! The sign up is open! We wish everyone the best of luck! And hope that no one gets in any trouble!

Aaaaand this is where we post the results, if any car survives...No results this week, these guys got them!

Find no update 5

 

[Roy Magnes]

Find no update 5

That is because it will be released tomorrow, if the information on the Rallyesim forum is correct. They have usually released the updates on sundays, but for some reason this one is scheduled for monday.
I will update the links when it is released

 

[Øyvind Andersen]

 

[Roy Magnes]

Update 05 has been released, and will be mandatory for driving from Monday onwards.
It can be downloaded here, but the links in the first post will also be updated correspondingly.

Two more things to look out for for this event!

One - BTB Madagascar was updated somewhere in May. If you downloadaed the pack before the update, please dosnload it again.

Two - We will remove ss05 from the result list. Not because the stage is bad, but because the time spent on it exeeds the allocated time that the RSCentre issues between the start of ss04 and ss05.

Just forgot about this as usual. But will try to be there for some more rallies the next weeks!
I even downloaded Madagaskar...

 

[Jonatan Åcerclinth]

Thank you very much for the session Roy, I had, overall, a lot of fun

Especially SS4 and 5 was very challanging but fun stages to run, just a bit sad we didn't see Alahala which is my favourite stage, although SS5 is a very close second after this

Also, If I'm not allowed into the RDRC-1 class next season I've found my 4th car in as many seasons for the RDRC

Summertime, moving and lazy days...and I forgot to download the results in time! This means that everyone is a winner this week! Sorry about that!
The good news however is that we have installed @Ole Marius Myrvold in his new apartment, so he is ready to go for the autumn-season
