After a relatively successful first time bid in the outback and sand of Queensland, Australia, the Off-Road Rebels club is moving back to the Northern Hemisphere. To the land of rolling moorlands, right by the North Sea.

Learning from the triumphs and the mistakes of the club that came before, this time around, we will find ourselves doing new things, making new experiences, and most of all, having fun and making use of the various pick-ups and SUV's given to us.

First off, the car list. This is the official list of vehicles that are allowed for use in club lobbies, barring some vehicles like jacked up cars (Capri Horizon Edition) and passenger cars converted into rally cars which I'll delegate on.

Now, onto rules. Most of the rules are tips and conduct for off-roading. There is only one hard rule: DON'T BE A DICK. This isn’t a super serious club, but still, common courtesy and kindness is required, and appreciated. But nonetheless, if I see or hear you being mean to anyone else, chances are, I’ll pull you aside and tell you to stop doing that. Any other times, you’re out.

In terms of actual conduct while out on the road (Again, like the car list, subject to change)

- Please try to keep single file when out on the road, as so the entire convoy doesn’t turn into a **** show. If it’s a wide enough road, or more and likely, on the highway, we might do two or three a breast.

- Keep to about a 30 to 35 MPH top speed on the back roads, with the top speed on the highway being 40 MPH.

- For the most part, once we leave the starting point, one vehicle will be designated as the leader. However, this isn’t permanent. Because…

- We will be taking simulated breaks at various points. This might be on the side of the road, or on a dirt roundabout, or a farm. This will be so if any of you need to actually do something (go get a drink, go to the washroom, anything like that) you can go do it. This is also where we’ll be switching lead vehicle, if there are any volunteers. Don’t worry about waiting your turn to be the lead vehicle, I’ll try to get as many people as I can to get a turn, but it isn’t that important. If you decline, that’s fine.

- Try to keep about two car lengths away from other drivers, so we don't have a bunch of people bumping into one another.

- Passenger cars that can be dressed up as rally cars, and purpose spec off-road vehicles like the Ridgeline Baja Truck are allowed. However, only one is allowed at a time, if you wish to use one of these vehicles, wait until someone changes out of them. This rule also extends to incredibly large vehicles like the Unimog and Gurkha, lobby settings permitting.

In order to keep things relatively fresh (in keeping tune with the seasons changing every week or so) lobbies will be done every two weeks, on Saturdays, around 1:00 to 3:00 Central Standard Time. I'm also deciding on whether or not we should do off-road spec races as well, that will come at a later date, when things are closer to release and I can see the race creator suite and what it does.

I will now be taking reservations for those that are interested in joining. In order to join, please list your location, time zone (if applicable), Xbox Live username, and whether you play on PC or Xbox One when you post. I will add you to the list of people that comes after this post.

HAPPY OFF-ROADING!

Seeing as I live in Northumberland I'd love to join but fear you guys will be online at very different times to me.

We have our own flag as well. You might want to incorporate it some how.

And the coat of arms is pretty nice too.

Edit: And a car sticker for the back of your cars.

1:00 PM CST or so is usually about what, 10:30 PM or so your guy's time? I certainly would like to have you, if you can make it.

So, I have been grappling with this since the Horizon 3 edition of the club, and I decided to just ask you guys directly:

Should we, or should we not, allow racing buggies to be used as vehicles? In the past, I simply added in the Polaris RZR because it seems relatively realistic in an off-roading setting. However, the actual racing buggies, like the Penhall Cholla, and the Alumni Craft, are returning as well.

I'll also extend this to the trophy trucks as well.
 
I'm in the mind to restrict it to production cars that are licensed for the road. So race vehicles not so much. I'm fine with the Polaris, the Nomad, VW Baja Bug, cars like that. I might even consider a road-legal custom like the Rip Rod.

I wonder how you feel about passenger cars from the various Rally classes, if they're actually set up for rallying?
 
I agree to keep it restricted to mostly Production/ Road legal vehicles. I would also be OK with opening it up to passenger cars that have Rally kits.
 
I'm thinking that passenger vehicles with rally kits would be a good compromise to the issue. And might open up the roster a bit more then.
 
I like the idea of doing something different with the FE cars. Off-road Capri. Donkified Monte Carlo. Cars are supposed to be fun, but far too often people treat it like it's deadly serious. Being serious about your racecraft and driving is great, but there's room for levity and fun, too.
 
When we get a clearer picture of the vehicles (probably about a month out, half a month before release when the weekly garage reveals are finished) i'll make a full and official vehicle list and deliberate on the passenger cars. Really, the list above is preliminary - and the safest bet is to do the SUV and trucks first.

so I've done a second draft of the car list, using confirmed sightings in screens, streams, and the various leaks. for the most part, it's relatively the same as the first pass, except with some obvious vehicles (mainly, the Unimog) added in.

i decided to just say **** it and put the trophy trucks in. they ran in the Baja 1000, they're good enough for the club, and we're here for fun anyway. might as well stop being slavishly realistic and let them in. i might do the same thing i'm planning on doing with regards to the Unimog, where only one person is allowed at a time to use either it, or the trophy trucks.

in terms of passenger vehicles, i'm also allowing them with specific rally kits installed. none of the Group B cars like the S1 Quattro or the Delta S4 however, but stuff like the Escort RS Cosworth, the Capri RS3100 Horizon Edition, and probably a few others will make it in. These depend on what actual kits there are in the main game, but for sure, the two mentioned are for sure going to make it in.

So I am thinking about doing one last lobby within Horizon 3. The idea of this lobby is two fold - one, serve as a final sort of send off to the game, but also serve as a test bed for the ideas that I have regarding the club with regards to adding races, and also to give new members an idea of what is to come generally for the club.

It will be on either September 22nd or 23rd, the last weekend before FH4's early access starts.
