Our next Rally is open for sign-up.

It’s time to revisit our friendly TEAM CHALLENGE again. This Event has now become a regular Event, with the Rest of the World taking the title last time.

We will be driving the traditional Group N cars again, which are well matched and quite stable to drive.

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. This is lazy 4WD. With Turbo. They are like a WRC car, just slower in every way possible. Up to speed, cornering and down in speed.

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. This means the N4 carpack of your choice found 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 noone gets in any trouble!

Stage Winners:

Magnus Lindgren - 3 stage wins
Roy Magnes - 2 stage wins
Andreas Scholz - 1 stage win

Big win for team Pinky this time, though a 2 vs 2 fight is not giving the biggest difference.

Now we'll have a week of RDRC before our next rally

Thanks to everyone who joined in on the driving this week!

I will be doing a later session, I just got home from school

@Jonatan Åcerclinth @Magnus Lindgren @Keegan Buckley @Rhys Gardiner @Damien Jones @Daniel Monteiro @Ole Marius Myrvold ---> PATCH 4 is out!

My rallye was quite good.
I came close to my records in nearly all stages.
Before start of 1 I loaded the wrong setup. Sieversdorf instead of Bergheim. Think that cost me a few seconds.
On 3 I hit the spectators on the dirty gravelish part where you need to brake hard for a 90 degree left.
On 5 I rolled the car on the "Landstraße" (the fast two-laned road) after hitting one road mark and evading into a second. Dropping water from then on and had a damaged left rear suspension. Just tried to carry it home from then on and 3.5 kms from the finish I had no more water BUT---German "Wertarbeit" let me finish it with power decreasing to the end!

Nice battle on SS 6 there @Roy Magnes, I just couldn't safely keep the pace on the second half. Well done!
Thanks for organizing

 

[Damien Jones]

Not going to make the US session today, will try for the OC one tonight

 

[Jonatan Åcerclinth]

Even though I tell it to download the new 2.4 version of RSCenter it still doesn't

Working on getting it to work but currently it's looking dark for me to be able to take part in the US session

 

[Rhys Gardiner]

I can't get 2.4 to download either. Doesn't look like I'll be able to do the session...

EDIT: false alarm, downloading the patch manually in the Rallyesim forums...

Did you manage to?
Sorry I should have told you I absolutely always (this means: every time I can remember) I need to download it manually on the forum. Thought I was the only one with this issue/bug.

 

[Jonatan Åcerclinth]

I tried to find it on the forum but I couldn't in time so I'm out of this rally

Could you link me to the exact place of it so I can see if I simply missed it?

I hope that you all had a lot of fun

Thanks Roy but I did download that and installed it but it didn't update my RSCenter to 2.4

Will try one more time to see if it works this time around

EDIT:

I just installed it again and when I try to open RSCenter it asks me if I want to update it to 2.4 (download the new version) and I click yet but nothing happens
