FLR World Rally Championship - CANCELLED

Thursday works

Gotta tune my Group 3 Car... my RS200 is ready to go.

thursday is good!

Have fun Thanks Steve for getting this far!

The races will be 1 class each for the 1st night, that can change for following races. We'll discuss what people would like to run and then set up the races accordingly. For Thursday, race 1 will be group 1 and race 2 will be group 3.

*Anybody know how to use the roll of delay without it starting everyones' timer at the same time vs. starting when they cross the start line?*

The way how it's done in the FM3 game, is that you can do a "Per Car Roll Off:" and you can set it for 5 -10 seconds, and then you all can run at around 50mph with the same distance the whole way around, and then once you get to about 1/8 of the mile close to the starting line, you can just floor it and have fun!

Turtle, I've driven both those Group A cars and the WRX is lethally fast. The RS200 is more fun to drive, even if it is a little slower on the straights.

i've been playing around with the settings and there is no real way to do the roll off delay without it doing the timer all at once, but for the point to point style races i think it would work, gotta check, but you just have to look at lap time since there is only one lap really

ah ok...

just do a 5-10 second delay per car roll off, and you guys try to get the best timings?

last race of the muscle car series we did we did a 5 sec roll off delay per car and just subtracted the time from everyones time that was added, be better if we didn't have to do that but if needed its needed

We'll have to do the subtraction method, as it doesn't even work properly for point to point races. Oh well, a little math never killed anyone.

well that blows figured the point to point it might work, oh well just some basic math not anything complicated

If the 5 second delay is there because of the possibility of a crash, couldn't we just set the collision to off, but still make every conscious effort to pass as if the cars are solid?

having it set to off kinda kills the whole race aspect of it, plus it ruins the pics

I guess... just seems easier than setting the race timer and then doing math to find out who placed where is all.

not that hard tho, each postion only adds 5 seconds
so if you started 2nd just take 5 off, 3rd 10 off, and so on

yep that's the way to do it fail...

Point to point still adds the roll off delay and on Nurbirgring, if you draft it cause the lap to be dirty as well! The collisions off idea would be an easy fix, but given that we're already running no damage, seems a bit too much. I don't know, might be best, we'll decide before the race starts.

I was off to buy the WRC vinyl that I just read about in the first page, and it looks like T10's servers are down. Hopefully it mends itself before the race.

But, yay for actually doing a legitimate paintjob!

Also, running 6:10 in the RS200 on Positano and running 1:49 in the Stratos on Sidewinder. No idea if that's a good time, but the rear tires on the Stratos seem to lack any grip, so I'll bet a chuck of money that it's not.

Team: RSD
Cars you will be running: Group 1 Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VI, Group 2 Volvo S60, Group 3 80 Fiat 131 Abrath 65 Alfa GTA, Group 4 Lancia Delta.)
Best days for you to race: Anytime

So I totally just remembered this, sorry. I'll buy the number board when I get home, which should be in a couple of hours.

Next Race is this Thursday, Oct. 14th at 8:30 PM EST.
The 1st race will be Group 2 Cars (AWD A Class), Nurbergring Point to Point, stages 2 and 3 (# of heats will depend on # of Drivers).
The 2nd race will be Group 4 Cars (AWD B Class Classics), Fujimi Point to Point, stages 1 and 4. (Again, # of heats will depend on # of drivers.)

**Results from 1st race are in 2nd post of this thread, as will all future results be posted there.**

Sweet, should be there. I haven't bought the Quattro yet (yikes!) but I do have my Eclipse ready. 9.0 launch is a crazy amount for an A class car, though.

X8, I switched to the Celica because you said you wanted the Delta. You're not obligated to run it, just letting you know it's available. Quattro's a liitle weaker - maybe you should run that.

i might be able to run a subaru if i can?
