Season 5 rules discussion

Timo Hakkarainen · Feb 17, 2013

It`s suprising that how many grade1 drivers choose someone other car than Rdrc class car.
I just mean it`s difficult to choose own class if there is no many competitors in RDRC class.....

Magnar Haarstadsveen · Feb 17, 2013

Yes i'm one of those, i don't like to drive the wrc cars (or any other turbo powered cars) I was in the RDRC class last year and i wanted to try something diffrent this year.

Arwyn Jones · Feb 17, 2013

Same with me. I find the wrc cars too fast for me and its no fun crashing all the time

David Jundt · Feb 17, 2013

Just noticed I can't have my Evo X anymore

Ole Marius Myrvold · Feb 17, 2013

You can run the R4 version ;P

David Jundt · Feb 17, 2013

But the R4 pack doesn't even seem to be one of those you can pick from, regarding the rules?

The Evo X is just one car I am thinking about, the brake performance was good last season.

Ole Marius Myrvold · Feb 17, 2013

I'm pretty sure that's just a slip-up actually. As we did include the R4 in the WRC/RDRC 2 test rally. I guess Jack will be online in 2-3 hours and can give a definite answer

And the only car chosen (so far) in the RDRC Champ is the Citroen DS3.

Maybe MINI will offer me a "guest drive" in a round just to see their car represented.

Are all the dates moved a week latter than published in the rules? I like to keep my calendar up to date

Roy Magnes · Feb 17, 2013

The top WRC-class has been a Citroen-cup over the last few seasons aswell I bellieve?
As mutch as I hate single-make-series when there are other options, it looks like I will take the DS3 as it is the one I found suiting my driving-style the best with a few tweaks. I will be no-where near any sort of result this year, though, as I will propably beat my own record of crashes in a rally driving a car that is waaaay out of my league

That is if I don't go for something horribly outdated and outpaced for the overall-championship, of course

David Jundt · Feb 17, 2013

I might be looking at the Polo aswell. Has it been re-made to resemble the real car? WRC and RRC cars look interesting too.

Only round 1

Jack Hintz · Feb 18, 2013

Only one round Norman, rest will be the same.
also, R4 is part of the RDRC-2 class, I'm just an idiot for completely forgetting to add it into the rules. Mega derpppp

Ya right!
I did some testing at one stage about 7km and DS3 was 9 second faster than WrC Fiesta.
There is no sense driving another car in RDRC class if DS3 is so overpowering against another WRC cars.
I was just wondering are those French gyus build best physichs in their own territory car???
