Rally - Monte Carlo 2014 - Mon 13th & Tue 14th January 2014

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

There is usually no video from the club events unless someone makes videos of their own driving, like Rhys is doing.

But about that... I have a day off on Thursday...

So, if people send me a link to replays (and skin if wanted) - and enough people do it, I'll guess I can throw together a little RSRBR 2014 debut rally highlights thingy!

Was about to ask for a car change, but then I realised.... I would choose the humongous giant massive huge Octavia in the first place

Ye, well, you wouldn't be able to change anyway The first 16 is locked into the cars they chose. If everyone was free to choose, we could end up without some cars. So, atm, it's only signups 17-23 that can change cars

Update 1.1 with about 800 MB is out...
Right now

And I am right I need to download the France addon tracks? Argh, forgot it and only 15 mins left

 

[Luka Grm]

Good luck guys! Starting my rally now

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

And I am right I need to download the France addon tracks? Argh, forgot it and only 15 mins left

Nope, unless you haven't downloaded the trackpack when you first innstalled RSRBR, there is no additional downloaded needed.

I haven't got this 4 GB track files. But with 1.0 and without packs when starting Puy du Lac I get this:
"No internet connection. Unable to retrieve some parameters. You must be connected on internet during track loading."
Does it tell my while downloading 1.1; so no, I am on the internet. Posting here

Why can Luka join? This is not about having tracks installed.

 

[Luka Grm]

You have to register in RSRBR Menu

 

[4 8 15 16 23 42 108]

You are not with version 1.1? All right, I'm out then. Already registered.
Will doublecheck password and stuff.


EDIT: 1.1 fixes "no internet connection" issues!

Stage 1 - Puy Du Lac - 03:33.04 - TERRIBLE! Went into the cornfields twice! Once hit an invisible wall and got a bit of damage.

Stage 2 - Sorica - 08:50.36 - Mom told me I got a negative grade in school when I was at the first hairpin. I hit the armco barrier and a bit of damage was visible. Luckily for me, I could not feel any difference. I took the car to the finish without pushing, knowing that I cant fully concentrate. Not happy.

Stage 3 - Cote d'Arbroz - 03:12.71 - Great fun! Not the fastest because of the skidding but who cares.

Stage 4 - Bisanne - 05:02.47 - Amazing!!!!! I havent had this much fun in RBR for a long time. Clipped armco with my arse 2 or 3 times.

Stage 5 - Joux Verte - 06:28.91 - Went great until I hit two barriers in the last kilometer or so, had to reverse on both occasions.

Stage 6 - Peyregrosse Mandagout - 09:28.56 - Decent. Had some collisions with the walls. Love the hairpins, hate the rest of the stage!

Overall - The length of this rally is perfect. I wouldnt want to do anything longer, nor anything shorter. That last stage got me a bit sweaty! God, Im out of shape......

 

[Corey Twyman]

If I can get everything downloaded today and installed tonight count me in. I'll take the Skoda then.

Corey Twyman - theFlash - A8W_03 - US - Skoda Octavia WRC

Oh well in that case put me in the Citroen please.

Corey Twyman - theFlash - A8W_03 - US - A8W_04 - Citroën Xsara WRC

 

[Corey Twyman]

You can choose every car except the Hyundai and Ford - as we need to add another unique car - you still want the massive Octavia?

Did I reply to myself?

Corey Twyman - theFlash - A8W_03 - US - A8W_04 - Citroën Xsara WRC

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Did I reply to myself?

Corey Twyman - theFlash - A8W_03 - US - A8W_04 - Citroën Xsara WRC

Seems like you did ;D
Will update the list as soon as I'm home from the gym
But the Xsara is yours

Luka; The length of the rally is what we want. The numbet of stages will be different according to the number of km on each stage

 

[Viesturs Priede]

Damn, completely missed EUX. Will try to do either one of the other EU sessions tonight or maybe OC tomorrow then.

 

[4 8 15 16 23 42 108]

Noone with connection issues?
Well I believe some will...

 

[Tomas Reinicke]

I will not start today, so a Ford Focus is free..

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Noone with connection issues?
Well I believe some will...

You do need the trackpack to have any non vanilla-RBR stages.

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

Help anyone! For Joux verte with Monte-Carlo mod: Wet tarmac tires or snow tires?

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Wet tarmac? Is that really a good choice?

I have no idea, with a Gr.N car I'm faster with Dry Tarmac than Snow - but when it comes to Gr.A/WRC cars, I'm not too sure.

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

Bisanne went quite bad now, would have retireed for sure if it was set on Realistic, hit a few more trees than necessary and had to reverse a few times...

... So I will go for your gamble, proper Rallye Monte-Carlo style, and hope for the best

Well, now I'm too late to warn you about the downhill section in the last sector, you will lose a lot there!

 

[Erik Engman]

Well, this is fun, I can't click on the RD EUY session at all to join it. Dunno what I'm missing.

Oh, you have to re-register? I missed that.
