Welcome to Rally Argentina - Semi 1999 style!
As we are continueing our WRC-travel, we find ourselves in a warm country, which, in stark contrast to last place we visited, is not plagued with rain, at all really.
Here we try to recreate the amazing battle Juha Kankkunen and Richard Burns had back in 1999, where they ended up 2.4 second adrift after the last stage of the rally after ignoring team orders.

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 cars are as similar to the cars that are original in RBR, and should be quite easy to get into

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 outhere!

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!

Stage wins:

Karl Raudsepp - 3 stage wins
Pinky - 2 stage wins
Roy Magnes - 2 stage wins
Rhys Gardiner - 1 stage win

Congratulations to Karl, Keegan and Rhys on the podium!
4,5 seconds between Rhys and Paul in the battle for that final step on the podium, and 0,5 seconds between Pawel and myself in the battle for 5th!
I love the rallys we run with this generation of cars, it seems like we're always locked in one battle or another in a very competetive field of drivers when we use them

RDRC will run next week, then we'll return with more fun the week thereafter. Have fun!

Ole Marius Myrvold · May 9, 2014

I like the fact that it is the backmarker-cars that are being chosen! No cherry-picking here!

Roy Magnes · May 9, 2014

I am faster in the Accent on the loose surface than in any of the other cars

But being slow made me go for the fun-option instead

Jonatan Åcerclinth · May 9, 2014

The Oktavia and the Accident is the funniest cars to drive and I'm quickest in the Skoda followed by the Hyunday on all surfaces so........

Rhys Gardiner · May 10, 2014

Sorry guys - just realised that there's a clash with an AC club event for the OC time. Would I be able to have an OCX event made for 09:30GMT Monday please?

Well that wasn't too bad. Some silly mistakes on Harwood, Mustaselka and Greenhills would have cost me about a minute or so, but every other stage went swimmingly. Couldn't have asked for a better result, 29:38:xx my final time for the rally.

Thanks for hosting guys!
