RDRC S7 Round 2 - Rally Norway (22nd-24th March 2015)

I'm actually amazed by people who bother makeing refined pacenotes. I'm only reading some notes I made of each stage. Not to mention setup which are only for nasty and bumpy stages...

Gents, what's Your take on homologating an NGP RWD car? I am thinking of driving an Porshe 911 GT3 RS, default RWD are simply swapped FWD, but NGP does simulate RWD properly.

Ole Marius Myrvold · Mar 17, 2015

NGP is NGP

I'd say wait for the next season (still this year), we would like to keep the rule changes mid-season as few as possible

I do live by the saying; "never say never". But please do not expect anything about NGP in season 7

Information regarding skins!

The deadline for presenting new skins are when the rally starts. This is to speed up the highlight-video progress. Naturally in the first rally, we had to wait for all to finish their skins etc. to be able to record.
Now that skins are in place, this is a process that will go faster. You can update you skin whenever you want - however, any skins made, and published after Rally Start, will not be included until Round 3.

If I can, I would like to participate in Round 2.
Do I understand correctly that I would have from the 22nd to the 24th to set a time?
My RSRBR name is Yskonyn

You have to drive one of the sessions listed in the first post, indeed.

To be able to drive, be included in the results, and score points, pleas sign up here

And welcome to the dirty side

Robin · Mar 18, 2015

Thank you!
I'll have a run with a few eligible Cars to see which one I like and then make the sign up post.

Can you recommend a decent beginner car, perhaps?

RRC is the "best" beginner car, when it comes to speed vs easy to drive.
R4 cars are a bit easier to drive, but is slower.
S2000 can be as fast, but it requires you to push to keep the RPM high all the time.
R5 cars are quite similar to RRC, but I still feel that RRC is better to get "into" the game and driving style

I also feel that RRC cars is a tiny bit closer to WRC cars in terms of handling and required driving style compared to the others - if a goal is to drive a WRC car in the future.

The Replays and Skins topic is now locked; will it be unlocked so we can publish updated or new skins, or should we send them to you by PM?

Ups! A mistake from me. I should've remembered to open it after the results from the first rally was final! Thanks for spotting it, and sorry again. Updated skin goes in that thread!

@Ole Marius Myrvold In regards to say testing stuff like NGP and other cars can we do the usual of running them in sessions after we complete our first session in our allocated car for the championship?

Of course! Just remember to do it after you've done your Lancer session ;-) You can drive a Zastava Yugo in later sessions, I don't care ;-)
