What session?

For the record, if nobody signs up for a particular session, that session will not be created.

Everyone else moved around as requested :good:

Senad-

Not that I plan on doing this, but on the off chance I miss OC2 am I okay to run in OC3?

Sure, feel free to switch around as you like.

Just remember that if you don't mention you want to switch to OC3, and nobody else is driving in it, OC3 will not be created.

45 drivers entered for the first round of the RDRC S2 and thats almost EVERYONE that is signed up for the championship. WOW.

Thank you to everyone that has signed up for this year. I hope you all enjoy what is in store over the coming months.

Good Luck all and have fun.

Hi, can I possibly change from EU2 to EU1, i.e. 20:00GMT on staurday rather than sunday?

Thanks,

Oscar.

Senad Subasic · Jan 21, 2011

Hadn't noticed, that's a nice number

Anyway, I'll create a practice session for 20GMT tonight, to see if I got everything right. Everyone is welcome to join and make sure there are no issues on their end.

Warren might be interested in the fact that about 2/3 of drivers chose to drive on Monday. I guess that means the current rally club schedule is the best.

That is quite interesting, I've sometimes wondered about our Rally Club nights scheduling.
However, one of the main considerations has been trying to avoid clashing with other regular RD Racing Club events.

Rick Bamford · Jan 21, 2011

Yep, I didn't think the regular stimes would be ignored but by opening it up it means more people have the option of joining in. So far i think it works but we will have to see what happens as the season goes on.

I'd guess that if the top guns will get on with practicing the 3:40 barrier will fall down easily. Seb wasn't going with world record breaking pace through the entire S1 (for me it was out of reach, but still), also he mentioned it was still 80-90% of his maximum. If he's pressed, and if Dariusz or Ben will get a firm hold of their cars (note: I am not even remotely condemning that, just to clarify. In fact I'm slowly starting to make a few practice runs from time to time. When I'm not sick, that is ) we will see some seriously faster times this time around .
.

yeah time with 3:40++ will be possible for those aliens, I've tried it and with luck on my side it is possible, though I hope they won't try to achieve that time so we can all have a good 4min+ time lolx

question:

how will retiring a stage in this event affect the over-all result? ex. I retire in ss2 or even ss1 will this be the end of my entire rally?

Sorry Terri, missed this.

Rick was thinking about something like that for the A league, but it didn't pan out. So it's just like a club rally, a retirement is just a retirement, you carry on with the rest of the rally.

Thanks and sorry I missed the post of Rick too

I did a practice rally yesterday and this cumulative damage will play top role. In ss3 i clipped a poster board and damaged the radiator. In ss4 the car got hotter by seconds and about 1min into the stage i got the oil lamp coming on and finally the engine died. Red ink will be common sight i think and the times will be slower.

Perhaps they all wish to wait to see the early runners coments on the board to assist their strategy...

Kidding, kidding...

Whaaaa, I missed that. I was sure we retire from all the loop/day stages. Meh :/.

Don't have to remind me about that. I'm the Rally Club's main cook when it comes to roasting engines! [from my experience 7-10kms with a shut radiator is all that an engine will take. It varies depending on how high you rev it, of course].

About the Monday turnout - I think that one of the factors coming into play is the fact that regular club is on Mondays. At least I chose Monday because of that, already got accustomed to the time and I kinda plan my time around that

Maybe I missed something. Don't remember seeing anything other than that post I linked to.
