This is a rally I never expected to host, it's a rally that I never want to experience again, a rally in honor of a late RD friend. One that left us so early, and had so much more to give in life, and to us all. Both in rallying, and through the amazing videos he did on his youtube channel. We will try to honor him as best as we can through this rally, even though it feels so little.
He will be deeply missed throughout the Simracing and GTA community.

Goodbye Fernando Agapito jr.

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. These are the new generation of WRC cars, it's a generation of power and low weight, it might feel like it's early group B with better handling. Handle with care!

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 RSRBR2014, 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 out here!

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 no one gets in any trouble!

Congratulations to Magnar, Norbert and Jonatan on the podium this week, and a big thank you to everyone that found time to take part to honour our good friend Fernando.

Ole Marius Myrvold · Sep 5, 2014

The whole RDRC and Rally Club administration will also present the skin Fernando used in his last season with us. An amazingly good skin made by the RDRC boss Jack Hintz, feel free to download it and apply it to your own car.

Jonatan Åcerclinth · Sep 5, 2014

These are very sad news

I'm certainly in for this, I've never liked the DS3 but in honor and memory of Fernando, I'll drive the wheels off the car.

Emil Pribanić · Sep 5, 2014

Roy Magnes · Sep 6, 2014

I will have an EUZ-session at 21:00 GMT on monday because of my late shift at work.

It would feel right to have a huge field of drivers in this rally, saying goodbye to a friend and fellow competitor. Do spread the word around to grab more interest if you want to

Ole Marius Myrvold · Sep 7, 2014

Due to the special circumstances of this rally, we've decided to keep it open from Monday to Friday - and we'll make as many sessions as needed. The final stage choices will be ready on Sunday, as we will try to find stages that Fernando was specially fond of, or even quicker than normal (Like a stage no-one, not even Manuel or Magnar could beat him).
So this rally will be open from Monday 8th to Friday 12th of September.

Norbert Serban · Sep 7, 2014

Sad news, RIP Fernando....

I'm in for a Friday evening session.

Magnar Haarstadsveen · Sep 7, 2014

RIP Fernando
This was very sad news to hear!

I'm in on a session, i don't know when yet but i'll find time to do this rally,

Oscar Hardwick · Sep 7, 2014

God. That is awful to hear. This bloke was so talented, one of the drivers who made you look at your times and sigh heavily.

It's such a shame to see news like this. Fernando will be missed by all here I'm sure, this seems to happen far too often with some guys I sim race with. Always a shock to the system and never something you want to read. RIP Fernando.

@Mike Bell @Jesper Taulborg @Jack Sedgwick @Lewis McGlade @Matt Richards

Rhys Gardiner · Sep 7, 2014

I'll sign up for this. Can't say I knew the guy, but given what you guys are saying about him, he must have been quite the sim racer and friend. I'll jump in to help pay tribute.

I'll drive the OC session.
