Back to 4WD, and showing off a new friend of the year. The Peugeot 207 S2000 has been used for many years already, but the latest 2012-spec car was released for our use with the second update a few weeks ago. We've put up a diverse challenge this week, hoping that we're still quite closely matched regardless!

General RBR Club Rally Rules:
1. You need to be a licensed member to take part in this event. Gaining a license is a very easy thing to do. Just click here and you will get a license for in a day or two!

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. You can still be banned from the RBR Club, even though you do not lose your RD License, but you cannot drive if you don't have a license.

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."

DRIVER BRIEFING NOTES:

1. The Peugeot is just like any other S2000-car, really really really struggeling for power on low revs, but what a machine it is at the rev.limiter! The car is a lightweight 4WD with medium power, but with the lack of turbo you'll need to keep the slides to a minimum and keeping the momentum up through the corners not to loose any time.

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 RSRBR2013, 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.There is a NEW password for both the servers(sessions) and teamspeak. Please check it outhere!

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 noone gets in any trouble!

Stage wins:
Roy Magnes - 2 stage wins
Jack Hintz - 2 stage wins
Rhys Gardiner - 2 stage wins
Viesturs Priede - 1 stage win
Pinkyboy - 1 stage win

Congratulations to Jack and Viesturs for making the podium this week! With a thin field, it proved important to keep the nose as clean as possible throughout the event. I am really impressed with Rhys' time on the Rally Poland-stage in particular, that is a killer time!

Next week we step aside for the RDRC season opener in the snowy conditions in Norway (the only snow I find around here these days are in the freezer, though), but we are back the following week with another challenge

May I ask for a session tomorrow evening anywhere in between the times of EUX and EU?
I will not make it home in time tomorrow and tonight is GSC for me.

 

[Corey Twyman]

I will try and make this one.

Just pick a time. And a session will be created

 

[4 8 15 16 23 42 108]

Alright then
Andreas Scholz - Atomninja - EUY
Session should start at 1800 GMT, that is 1900 for me.
Gives me some time for practicing

 

[Corey Twyman]

DST started in the US for those area that make the change. Maybe next club rally we can switch the US start time to 02;00 GMT. I haven't even looked at the schedule for the RDRC yet.

 

[Karl Raudsepp]

Karl Raudsepp - Karl Raudsepp - EUX

Switching to OC

DST started in the US for those area that make the change. Maybe next club rally we can switch the US start time to 02;00 GMT. I haven't even looked at the schedule for the RDRC yet.

We'll make it now as well, so it will be two US sessions, just to cover the bases
