Hows looking into my head to head idea?

Having a hard time deciding :lol:

Deciding what?

I'm kinda part in two about it.. But I think if we're only gonna have 4 stages per rally then it might take too great a part of the time, also making people familiar with it can be difficult. But a great idea, just don't know if I can implement it.

OP updated

Yup guys all of you vote for WRC or the GRC (because KT :sly: ), those (signed up before NOW) who do will get a present from me :D
 
When is this series starting? And did you guys did or are going to race any pre-season events?
 
I voted but not for this.:lol:

We're hoping to get starting with round 1 in January and have 1 or 2 pre-seasons this month. Really need to get those track-sharers up and running :lol: shoot me a psn friend request when you can :)

@James, understandably you voted for your own series but you won't get anything :D the Focus you've already got maybe but that's it :)

Edit: looking at James' poll, right now Mel will get a present. You'll have one shot at you when I'm on my PS next time 👍

Edit again: I checked yesterday, and the Volvo C30 has too much engine for SWRC :)

Are you sure you don't wish to become a works driver Shoe? What about your friend Aesys?

I don't think we will be doing any h2h-ish stages, but if it can help there'll be a few "show stages" during the championship. For an example I can reveal Rallye de France is not only in Chamonix, but somewhere that irl is famous for the most famous rally of all times :sly:

Also, in case anyone wonders, the "Costs" section I added is there just for fun (now) but it just might have an influence on certain things for S2 (I'm also thinking of making the results of each driver have an effect on the purchase price just for realism reasons)
 
Just curious how will you pay us?
 
:confused:

I don't know exactly what you mean :)

If you mean the repair costs etc. it's simply deducted/added to the teams' account which just might give a bonus for the drivers (unconfirmed)

I am confused on the whole costs thing.
 
Nono, it's just for fun really. Thought it could be fun to see how many teams would actually make it through the season without debts :D

Oh so whenever as a team we buy something tell you how much it cost right?
 
More like when you damage the suspension the team must pay for a new one :)

Ok now I am starting to understand.
 
This might be bad for some of you

It's been tried before, and has never worked.

Not saying this will not work, but it's a idea that's been tried before.
 
I think the idea is great. The main problem is selling it to anybody who wants to enter. Overall, it is a good thing because it will put off anyone who thinks "I'll just enter for a bit of a laugh" if you know what I mean.

I'd like to enter WRC as an independent with a fully WRC homologated privateer car. It's not a Ford though so just wondered whether there are any spots left for that at all or even if it's okay to enter such a car. I will enable the car to be inspected should it need to be scrutineered.

I think Ford was used as an example there. I believe you can, for example, enter any Subaru Impreza rally car other than the Premium one.
 
Important question:

What tires are we allowed to use on tarmac stages?
 
If need be I will run a Independent car.
 
@Richie, wish recieved. You may run any standard post-1997 rally car, even though I'd most likely have all the works teams filled first :) Send me a fr soon.

For tarmac stages we'll use Racing Hards.

You won't need to go independent at all James :)

Planning on a test rally on December 22, stages tba. Been thinking of having WRC run in the afternoon GMT and the support class in the evening.

In real life WRC cars never use fully slick tires on tarmac stages, so to make it more realistic shouldn't we use Sport tires, maybe Soft given the fact they doesn't wear too quickly?

:banghead: how the heck did I manage to make the same dumb mistake twice?

Change that to Sports tyres, undecided which exact compound
 
The way I've interpreted the OP rules about Independents WRC cars, I believe this list includes every car that falls in that category:



Ford Escort Rally Car '98
Ford Focus Rally Car '99
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IV Rally Car '97
Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VI Rally Car '99
Subaru IMPREZA Rally Car '99
Subaru IMPREZA Rally Car Prototype '01
Subaru IMPREZA Rally Car '01
Subaru IMPREZA Rally Car '03
