Thursday 10th September 2009 - Rally Heaven & Hell

[Johan Sälgström]

Thanks.
Just to clarify, GMT means "real" GMT as according to http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com ? And not BST, I mean? Sorry if it's been answered/mentioned somewhere around here already.

 

[Andrew Evans]

yep, all our events are posted with a GMT start time... that gives a standard reference point for everyone... in the UK we're in BST atm, so it's one hour later for us... mainland europe is probably 2 hours... but, so long as you convert GMT to your local time, all is good :thumb:

:welcome: matey!

+1

Oh 5 more hours and we're on a trip into the dirt...

 

[Bert Van Waes]

Sign me up for GMT please.

First RD event, and first event with RSRBR09 for that matter. Will hopefully do okay.

They're flying inhere like muskietos!

Welcome :good:

 

[Jason Halaby]

btw - what was the result on the aussie night stages? did you run wets or drys in the end?

I mostly ran dry tires on the aussie stages, but one time I forgot to change it and ran with wets. I did not notice much difference between the two.

 

[Aaron Cloutier]

I went with defaults... so Wet on the Aussie stages. They felt looser to me. I probably could have done a little better with dries... maybe. The USA night stages are really hard because they're so open. At least you illuminate trees and bushes in the Aussie stages. USA just seemed so ... DARK.

Good luck and welcome to the fellow new guys!

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

aaron welcome

 

[Adam Vaughan]

Gravel dry seem much better for me :good:

 

[Adam Vaughan]

Where is everyone????????

 

[Daniel Hansson]

I'm in
I think..

 

[Johan Sälgström]

What a bummer, got a "psychics file absent" when I was about to start SS7. Twice, even. Looks like my RSRBR needs a reinstall. Anyways, had a blast while it lasted, looking forward to the next event, hopefully without any technical errors then.

 

[Bjorn de Haas]

strangely after my rally i crashed like 21 times hahaha i only did 10 stages where i should have done 12 stages.. hmnzzz can it be a bug?? anyway andrew dont take me up in the final standings coz something is wrong now hahaha

thanksssshhh for organise andrew

 

[Lewis Fergusson]

Rolled on every stage. Oh dear.

Thanks the organisingsshshshs Evans.

 

[Adam Vaughan]

Hee hee sweeet thank you very much andrew

I have the times screen shotted if you need them

Thank you Andrew and this is still my favourite event at the moment. People need to get this be patient and become addicted to a fantastic game :good:

 

[Daniel Hansson]

Really nice. Loved this event. :good:

But it didn't start good when I went off after like 5 turns and lost 30 sec... After that it was nice rallying untill I blew it again, several times, when the rain began to fall. Have to work on that.

In the end I ended up higher than I had expected :victory:

I will see if I can make it to another rbr event, was really worth it.

 

[Andrew Evans]

well, after australia was devoid of rain, i was wondering whether the rally would live up to it's name... the US stages totally made up for it though :hoho:

internet came back 4 stages in (after 2 days being out :grrr: ).... i was running the rally in parallel offline... however, i've decided not to add in my missing times and so not set a precedent for corrections other than when the server drops one...

heaven went much better than hell.... shattered windscreen 26 seconds into one of the US stages... you won't believe how much it increases the visibility factor! (remember you heard that protip here first)...

results and stats will be updated in a moski.... roll on the snowfest...

Congrats to podium.
Well done guys, was a challenging rally.

 

[Cam Wedgwood]

Hmmm... seems those snow tyres weren't the best choice afterall. What a shock... lol

Thanks loads Andrew and all who competed. Good numbers for this one!
