RBR Farewell Cup - Round 1 - A story of ice and snow

[Torbjørn Withbro]

aint over til its over. Miserable last stage. off 4 times. rolled, CFH, gearbox locked in 4th. Lost one and a half minute. Congrats Torbjörn.

I did not see your 3 last stage times. Had enogh to finish with all my problems. Then I was so depressed. So I did not wait for your times.. if you crash some on last stage were both last in standings in this rally.


We will return with a bang on the next round

Michael Nelson - Mike Nelson - US

"Week 50" caught me out a little, I figured 52 weeks in a year, then we go backwards 1 week for 51, then back one more for 50, which would be next week. Turns out it's 52 weeks and a few days in a year, which makes the final week of the year the 53rd week. Whoops

Time to do some quick practice

 

[Aidan Keranen]

bugger, a small mistake in reading the times of the stages and I think I've missed the round (was going to do the OC one but ah well)

 

[Michael Nelson]

The US one is starting in a couple of minutes @Aidan Keranen

Rally finished,

I had very good fun driving the SK telecom Subaru WRC 2000 (lol) I think I had more fun in this kind of event than in official RDRC rallies because of all the pressure and necesary practice, though I was still pushing like ever a very fun run and a very good rally, good selection of stages, every stage went very nicely except for SS07 where I lost concentration for a moment and went off the road into the nearby river, I think that sort of crash would look good on the replay. It was good to run alongside my long time teammate and friend @Michael Nelson

Thanks Roy, Ole Marius and company for bringing us this event and giving RBR a proper farewell in RD

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

Damn, woke up too late and missed SS1 and SS2! Is it possible to drive them on the EUY session later? @Roy Magnes

 

[Aidan Keranen]

Wow, that's the most fun I've had in a sim game for weeks, if not months. Making the move over from Dirt Rally... they're close, but I love the feeling of control that I have in RBR. Sort of wish I could have driven this car last RDRC season, but ah well

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

Late wake up and started on SS3, taking it easy and just keeping it on the road, which is still a pleasure on the snow in this game. Still had a stupid crash on Rally School II and had to call for help, but otherwise a great start to the day! SS10 was pure rbrgasm and a close time with @Aidan Keranen as well!

I don't think this should be a problem, we are not hunting any championships here

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

My personal best in Karlstad and beating Magnar on it too (although I know he can drive that stage faster for sure) is already a mini-self-victory for the snow event!

Great Idea @Roy Magnes , looking forward to next week's already! Replays coming soon

 

[Magnar Haarstadsveen]

A very fun event and i manage to get trough all the stages nearly clean.
I had a spin on rallyschool II but lost just a few sec, no big drama.
I love to drive the early WRC cars, so much fun to throw them around, and they do exatly what you want them to do.
Thanks for a fun evening!!!


Ps Daniel.........good driving!!!

 

[Roy Magnes]

Thanks for participating, everyone!
Please send me a PM with your replays if you want to be part of the highlight-video at the end of the year
Put in a link to the skin you're using too, that way I can put that in the video aswell!

 

[Roy Magnes]

@Aidan Keranen - in the result-file it says that you are still driving ss02, do you have your time on that stage for me? Either in a replay or if you've taken a screenshot of the results in the end? It is either that or that a default time on the stage

 

[Roy Magnes]

Provisional results are up here! Please let me know if I've done any of my usual mistakes here.

Next weeks rally will be posted when I get home from work on thursday!

 

[Manuel De Samaniego]

aah man! I shouldn't have gone off on SS07 that call for help cost me the win.

Well played Magnar, congrats Jonathan.

Thanks for the rally guys
