For the matter, the DTM is running what would be an hour before WRC did this weekend. I don't know if it changes things but I just wanted to clarify it
@GHS, varies depending on how many stages we'll end up driving, how quickly we can get started and how long it takes to go from one stage to another. IIRC the rally on Saturday took about 2 hours
So it seems like it's almost official. The options are:
keeping it as it is,
keeping it this time but shorten the rally,
start about half an hour earlier, and
start about half an hour earlier and shorten the rally.
Right now the 3rd and 4th seem to be leading.
there is a faster way, but makes it more difficult for you, without help,
we move the start forward half hour turn damage off or light, so we can fly through recce, it just means that you will need to penalize for on track collisions, but with assistance from myself and any other volunteers, but the volunteers would need to know the in's and out's of WRC real life to gauge the penalties, say +3 seconds for a collision that would mean the car is sent in the wrong direction, +5 seconds for a collision that would require the driver to bring the car to a stop/ reverse, ie,overshoot turn, potential loss of control of the vehicle and goes into a field, +7 seconds for getting stuck on a rock or tree stump, +10-15 seconds for roll overs, tank slapping a rock and getting a puncture,
If you have 2 people helping you do this, assuming each rally has 6 stages then we each take 2 stages, watch each car, report our findings to each other, then agree to the findings or discuss them, it shouldn't take too long and official accurate results should be sorted by tuesday night,
the way to report findings,
Driver, TDZdave,
stage, 5,
incident report/ penalty suggestion's,
incident 1, location, start line, Race time, 7.55, penalty suggestion +5
Jumped start by 5 seconds, due to being pushed across start line by the car behind, accidentally,
Incident 2, location, tunnel, race time, 8.01, penalty suggestion +15
vehicle hit tunnel entrance pillar after losing control in previous corner, estimated speed 120kph, also vehicle would have received heavy damage due to the high speed nature of the collision, also angle show's driver would have had to reverse vehicle before proceeding,
Incident 3, location, bridge, race time, 9.28, penalty suggestion +5
driver slide wide and in real life would have gone through fence and caused vehicle to travel down though the creek at a slower speed to rejoin racing surface,
we could openly publish these on the thread, if we are fair and consistent with them 90% of the field would be happy with them surely,
