RDRC Season 4 - General discussion

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Yes

Stupid question get's a stupid answer I guess

 

[Rick Bamford]

lol, sorry I was in a bad mood when I wrote that.

The M3 is not included for the same reason the Renault 5 Turbo and A7K cars are not included, they are too fast. and/or difficult to drive. this class is meant to be for fun.

 

[David Jundt]

I may sound mean, but:

Am I the only one that thinks that the Hatchback Subarus(Prodrive, URT) are damn ugly? Always liked it in the McRae, Burns and Solberg times, but the one they introduced later just wrecks the name.

Same goes for the new Skyline, it's damn ugly. Dunno why the Japanese killed them. I hope the Lancer doesn't have the same fate...

 

[Senad Subasic]

No, they are indeed ghastly. N12 isn't far behind.
That's why I was driving the N11 for the first three seasons.

I understood that, didn't take any offence though!

I didn't find the Gr.H M3 much faster than other cars (the Gr.A is fast though). But fair enough I'm starting to have a lack of time to decide what to do this season now. I wasn't prepared to jump to grade 1.

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

David: Totally agree, and in my opinion the Evo X already has the same fate...
Ole Marius: Hehe, I guess that means congratulations on your grading event!

By the way, any reason the Group A Mitsubishis are not allowed? In real life the Evo 6 Group A competed (and actually won) against the 1999 WRC cars which are allowed for this championship.

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

Ole Marius: Hehe, I guess that means congratulations on your grading event!

Thanks! But grade 1 guys are seriously fast. I was just lucky with the grading event

 

[Senad Subasic]

Okay, Warren pointed out that, as usual, RSRBR Update 03 is scheduled to be released this weekend

To avoid any possible issues, it is recommended that you DO NOT update before driving in your Round 1 session.

Yeah, it kind of has a "boxy" nose like a pitbull. But when I tried it, I felt like it was a good choice for the championship

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

I just have to apologize to the admin team of RDRC for making the work with my grading rally. I asked for it to get the chance to drive in my good old SEAT, but as I got pushed to grade 1, I have to drive a perfect rally with a Focus or C4 to even have a theoretical chance of a fine result. In light of that, I decided to drive in the 2WD cup instead, which I could easily have done with my Grade 3. Again, I'm sorry for the extra work, that ended up being to no use at all, I just didn't expect to be moved to Grade 1.

No Problem

I felt we had enough cars to select from with all the WRC's. and including the A8 car packs mean I have to go through and exclude a number of them. It would have been even more messy than it already has been.

In responce to the new rule regarding stage restarts​

Mark Birney said:-

But the time is rejected by RS Centre anyway if you restart.

Rick Bamford Said:-

I would prefer these conversations to be put into the general discussion thread so everyone knows rather than just for the grade.

However, it seams it is no longer rejected, that is the problem. Now, if you restart a stage it shows you as retired but the time you finally set is still used in the results not a default time. In an official rallyesim event that is not a problem, but as our rules are a little more lenient it could effect the results if we don't stop it. The rule has been put in place to avoid the issue of someone saying "But I didn't know I wasn't allowed". Now we all know where we stand.​

 

[Manuel De Samaniego]

Hi, is there going to be Rally press this season like in the past seasons? I enjoyed reading the Rally reviews

 

[David Jundt]

Same for me, but I think there's a shortage of helpers on all fronts?

 

[Rick Bamford]

We would love to have the event reports again, but Ondrej has decided to withdraw from creating them. If anyone else wants to take over the roll of Head journo let me know. We also have a couple of other jobs available if anyone is interested in helping out.

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

if I did the writing job, there would be a serious bias towards the backbenchers and also-rans, lol. But I won't.

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

Will be "The W - USA" stage used trough the season? Its not BTB stage and its quite awesome

So for Round 2 is required, no?

Thanks!

 

[David Jundt]

Has it been released then?
