RDRC Season 5 - General Discussion

[Sion Williams]

I did my testing on Rally School as well, but with the Tarmac Mod. These were some of the results:

Car Run 1 Run 2 Run 3 Average
Citroen DS3 R3T 01:16.39 01:16.81 01:18.03 01:17.08
FIAT 500 R3T 01:18.25 01:17.89 01:18.16 01:18.10
Honda Civic R3 01:18.55 01:17.97 01:18.30 01:18.27
Peugeot 207 R3T 01:19.66 01:18.17 01:17.49 01:18.44
Renault Clio R3 01:17.72 01:20.79 01:18.95 01:19.15
FIAT Punto R3D 01:20.21 01:22.18 01:18.94 01:20.44

Due to the tarmac mod I can't really compare I'm afraid but others can compare to these now if you like

Sorry, there not formatted well... I'll try get a better chart up soon. For now the last time is an average for 3 runs, use that one and that's how its ranked!

Thank you, will do the same thing and see what I come up with but with Gravel, I hate tarmac in RBR, with exception of Ticksta Sprinten which resembles what I race in reallife, especially using the low powered Golfs

I like that stage with the tarmac mod, very smooth so nice to compare cars. I'll get some gravel ones when I get time, need to do a bit of gravel testing anyway!

Very informative thank you very much! Tarmac lets the DS3 use its power I guess. Ironically, I find it has less power understeer than the other FWDs.

Rally School is not the best stage for testing. Small mistakes/a few perfect corners, makes too much difference than usual stages.
However, it's also down to driving style

 

[Daniel Matthews]

Any spaces left to join?

RBR never runs out of spaces! Just remember to apply for a license here. After you have obtained your license, you can sign up

 

[Daniel Matthews]

ok thanks

 

[Michael Nelson]

is there a way to get a better template for the Mitsubishi lancer evo x n4. The template at szmodels is rubbish.

Try this: http://www.mediafire.com/?jtllsmg2vpb4u34

 

[TTupsi]

ok thanks

Love your avatar btw! "Colin McRae and Richard Burns want YOU to join RDRC Season 5!"

Just ran a test with few of the S2000 cars just to see if the 207 was competitive at all. Or should I say thought of running because I fell in love with the third car I tested. That Proton Satria is just soooo sweet one to drive. I also tried out DS3 RRC and I think it might be a little faster than S2000s, but it didn't fit to my driving style as well as the non-turbo 207 & Satria.

I also have a fetish for yellow cars so no wonder I liked that Proton

Ok, thanks for that information Ole

Would you have a good lever to suggest?

I'm thinking Tuna and Hygget as I know those 2, and most of the other Swedish stages now, like the back of my hand

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Ok, thanks for that information Ole

The best stage(s) is the ones that you know very well, that you drive quite consistent on They should also have fast areas, slow areas and combinations. In my mind, a stage like Falstone have all the ingredients needed. But that stage needs quite a few run-throughs to be consistent.

Thank you Ole, will give that stage a try and see what it feels like. FWD to learn it it is, the Volvo have the drawback of needing to know the stage quite well before you can go all out

Almost forgot, thanks for giving me a "home rally"! Of all of the Rally America championship rounds, why Sno*Drift though?

Car Numbers...
I appear to have taken the number 31 for the 2013 season. I kinda made my skin up for the Fiesta and whilst doing so, with scant regard to proceedures, picked the number 31. (It was my favourite school-boy moto-x number, altogether now 'aaaaaaaw')

Would it be possible for me to claim this number for the season as I can't be arsed changing my skin...

Infact 'cant b arsed' doesnt really do my hate of skining justice. I am still recovering from 'photo-shop-thumb' a painful medical term from to much mouse hovering not to be confused with 'photo-shop-brain' which is a though sapping process that makes you both sad/happy/joyful/angry/frustrated/insane
('Where 'o' where has my f*ckin magic wand gone to'; and 'aaaaah i didnt bloody ctrl D again ffs')

As usual it took me 2 days to paint where a numpty coulda done it in 2 hrs. Note: I decided to go a bit mad and put some white stickers on my black car, it does look a bit disco-ish with all that fancy non-black paint, but apparently the kids are into stickers and such. Its a bit too bright..

can we pick our own race numbers (apart) from the championship winner or do we have to wait till the entry list comes up?

From the rules

A driver can also request a number, as long as it is below their ranked number from the previous season.

 

[David Jundt]

Looks like I need to hurry if I want to take part in R1

I wonder if I could un-install down to the base of RSRBR and "mount" 2013 on top of it... I also forgot how that worked with your registered number+password for RSCenter.

 

[Juen-Jen Wang]

Was wondering if I can get confirmation that the Alfa 33's being looked at (or rejected) for Homologation? I gave Jack a PM asking him about it and haven't gotten a response.
