RD Rally Club - Snowy Gr.N-ew Year @ Norway - 4th to 7th Jan 2024

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Pictures taken outside of my apartment the 1st and 2nd of January. And now... there will be -20 and colder for some days!
​

The puns are getting worse and worse for the rally-names. The new year brought a lot of snow in the area of Norway I live. So... New year and Group N starts with the same letter. R4 and Rally... same letter. Snow. Norway. Rally-idea born! My mind is that simple... hah!

any setup advice for these cars on snow? I am usually very slow when games switch to either rain or snow, so it won't make that much of a difference anyway, I guess .

I took sort of a half tarmac setup and that worked nicely, not quite as low and as hard as the real tarmac settings.

wow, that middle section with the 17k and then the epic stage is amazing. The attention these chaps have put into the maps! Wastebins lined up for collection next to a house? First a single bird then a flock breaking through foliage? Yellowish grass sticking out of the snow? Amazing.
That said, I had two two wheel moments and two offs in the epic stage, Mitsubishi looked just a wee dented afterwards, ...

This sounds like me in rFactor 2, when I start paying attention to properly working scoring pylons/towers. The light in the houses a bit away from the track during nighttime etc. etc. etc.

I don't have the ability to focus on such things and driving when it comes to rally!

all stages done, picked up an unnecessary 20 secs for staying too long in final service, I somehow thought there was another longish stage ... Still: A brilliant rally, thx for putting it together, Ole, and thx to all participants, especially the survivors
