Rally Championship interest thread...

[C-ZETA]

I was planning on having a online rally series now that custom tracks are available for use online. I was planning on 3 classes (246bhp, 345bhp and Rally Cars respectively) based around the GT Rally Special Event, and the tracks for each theme will also increase in difficulty for the respective classes. The Eiger Nordwand and Chamonix tracks will also be used as they both have 4 forms, again in order of easiness. The Toscana track will probably go in with the Toscana Tarmac races as a bonus. So? What do you think of this? Thanks in advance.

Me and my friend were just discussing this a couple days ago, and in this --> https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=183642 topic we were discussing possible ways to work it out. I'll add you and see if we can get all in a room to brainstorm/organize. My buddy said he could make a website for it to have the schedule info etc.

I'd be interested if this goes forward!

I'll add you on PSN balang.

The rules you have are quite a bit different though. Plus, with 3 classes, it could be more user friendly. In addition since some of the tracks I have created are somewhat short so with racing it acts like a rallycross series, if you've ever seen those (and it's essentially what GT5 was built for, no?).

So are you trying to make a shorter more general rally or a strict pure rally? I'd more enjoy the pure but I'm open to both.

Yeah, I'm more for a racing style championship with just one track for each class but I will make the races relatively long. I've decided on 25 mile races for the 246bhp class, 35 miles for the 345bhp class and 50 miles for the Rally Cars. However you have to bear in mind the increasing difficulty of the tracks which kind of evens out the lap count a bit.

I had the same idea a while ago, but it failed. It seems like everything in the online racing section is about Super GT, NASCAR, and one-make races.

But that would mean you're hosting 3 different races at 3 different times with 3 different groups. From what it seems it hard enough to pull together 1 group and host 1 good time.
I think it's a cool concept but just like stormtrooper said, simply not enough people enjoy rally.
