No way, that track is incredible. The kart track there will REALLY teach you a lot of new techniques; trail-braking, skid control (bowl corner,) and uphill braking zones (T1.)

Seriously, I'd pay for my friends, to come, and race with us.

Yes, but... Rally has said, before, that if anyone hits a wall with a cliff beside it, he'll give a huge penalty.
 
Said it before, says it again, those canadians are crazy :lol:

:lol: Yeah, I get lucky, cliff walls aren't common around southern Ontario.

Otherwise, rally said it best. Just run your own rally. Don't hit walls. If us Canadians slip up, even a bit, we're going off a cliff.

So, you Canadians are like McRae, eh? Either you win, or crash. :lol:


I so didn't do the 'eh' on purpose. Where I'm from, it sounds more like the short pronounciation of 'e' rather than 'ay'.

Oh, and would the Golf V be able to run in the SWRC, pretending to be a Polo? Or is it over 2.0L?

No, bruiser is NOT a Jetta.


And, big news coming from Winter Stars, Planet Motorsports, and WMA, regarding Season 2. Stay tuned.
 
I would like to join this series, but I'm currently running another series that starts every saturday at midnight GMT (actually sunday), so it all depends on the time you're planning to run this.

Anyway, here is my registry and choices:

Yeratel84 / Yeratel84 / WRC / Peugeot 206 Rally Car '99 (Peugeot Sport)

SWRC / MINI Cooper S '05
PWRC / Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI GSR T.M. SCP '99

Welcome to the WRC!

We usually finish before midnight GMT, an hour or two before, so if all goes well when we do start the series, you should have some time to spare between races. :)

In that case count me in... 👍

For SWRC class, do we have to choose a car with minimum weight of 1200kg, or are we allowed to add ballast to reach the mark? And what about power? Given the original engine is 2000cc or less, can we use power limiter to comply with the 275hp limit?
For WRC class, are there any limitations other than the 300hp limit?

Nice to have another here :) yes, we do finish before midnight gmt, if all goes according to plan everything hardly takes more than 2-2,5 hours ;). I'll update OP when I'm on PC.

As for your questions, ballast weight is (of course) allowed to reach minimum weight, same about power. Only thing for WRC is turbo is disallowed.

Btw Golf V (and VI too) are both OK for SWRC
 
I'm confused with the SWRC reg's and the PWRC reg's??

SWRC = FF, 2000cc of displacement, 275 hp, 1200 kg.

PWRC = unmodified, street cars, ~ 300 hp, 1200 kg. iirc.



And, this:


Winter Stars Tuning :sly:


Since the kind people at GTPlanet.net refrained from staying on-topic, in my "I own an Impreza," thread ("Mel got a Subaru!") I've closed that thread, and taken it to a place where people won't continually point out finances as a problem with my logic. My finances are fine, and they're not the concern of any GTPlaneteer.


Anyways, this just in:


Winter Stars Tuning Garage wishes to extend the option of driving their new Volkswagen Scirocco in SWRC competition, for the inaugural season of the World Motorsports Association's World Rally Championship, to Andrew Geier.

Among the press release, however, it was mentioned that, upon the commencement of the second season, driver Andrew Geier will be switching from factory Mitsubishi support, to a specially homologated 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X, as rally-prepared by Winter Stars Tuning Garage. Expected horsepower output, downforce, and weight (post ballast) will match current and/or future WRC regulations.


However, it's unclear as to whether or not the WRC Series Director will allow this to occur. Stay tuned.

is tuning available in either Category?

SWRC, yes. PWRC, no. Unfortunately, there aren't any upgrades you can change in PWRC, excluding the brake balance... So, brake balance and tire compounds are about the only upgrades you can make. Maintenance (car wash, oil change, etc.) is okay.
 
Mel, the Scirocco is OK. Checked that while checking the Golf. Hope I can get back on PC soon :lol:
 
MrMelancholy15
...And the custom, Winter Stars Evo X?

As long as it's not affected by tuning prohibited :)

Golf VI is 4WD, so I guess it means its a no no... Scirocco R is FF though
 
Article found on Suzuki's 2013 hopes... :sly:
Some Rally News Team
With the WMA World Rally Championship coming closer and closer, teams are working all hours to prepare. Mitsubishi Team RALLIART and the Subaru World Rally Team are preparing to fight it out against each other for another season, whereas one of the remaining Japanese teams is under the radar, Suzuki Motorsport. Suzuki have had bad experiences in rally before, only lasting one season in 2008 in the FIA regulated version of the series. However, the team aims to fight back and redeem themselves in the 2013 season of the WMA regulated series with their new driver, Katie Bushell.

Katie is the only female in the team, and the whole series, but she doesn't let that affect her. In the pre-season rallies, she has showed consistency with her times, and aims to put Suzuki Motorsport back on the map.

"Suzuki had a bad year in 2008, and went home with their tail between their legs. I want to make sure they can achieve their rally dreams in 2013, and hopefully not feel a sense of déja-vu." she told us. "Apparently I've been showing consistency in the pre-season rallies, and I'm hoping I can keep that consistency when the real season starts. Of course, the consistency I was showing was not good enough for me, if I'm not first, I'm last. The Mitsubishi boys are my biggest problem - both of them were unstoppable, and they're very talented drivers with a lot more experience than me. However, I won't let that stop me from putting up a fight. Andrew Geier is a friend of mine, so I'm not afraid of him!" she laughed.

Depsite Suzuki's big hopes for 2013, they have struggled to find a second driver. In the pre-season rallies, they had a second driver signed, however they lost contact with him and he refused to speak to them again, forcing them to remove him as a driver. Suzuki Motorsport will still be able to run in the WRC, however it will all depend on Katie to score them some points.
