OP will be updated as information is changed/added. As of now news/info will take place in this thread and edited as needed.

This is turning out to be a more casual thing, as the field of people doesn't really support competitive racing, but it can still be tight and competitive, just not complete with standings and all.

There will be three classes.
WRC:
The 4 WRC cars will be allowed, Focus, C4, SX4, and Impreza. No performance modifications allowed.

SWRC (S2000):
Open to cars with a 2 liter displacement, 2000cc, mostly focused around the classic showdown between the Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STI Spec C Type RA '05 Race Mod and the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX GSR '05 Race Mod. If you find another car the suits the 2000cc rule go ahead and use it, but I am expecting much attention to be focused on these two fine automobiles. (I've driven and enjoyed both before anybody screams fanboy) Once again, no engine, turbo, exhaust, weight kits, or intake modifications allowed. You may have drivetrain customizations though. Also since these are race modded cars you can paint your car and wheels as you'd like, as well as number changes. Take advantage of this, make the car you're own! I'd like to have everyone with different numbers tho, you can note this in registration. No sense in having two cars with the same number.

PWRC (Production)
Pretty straightforward, some people might like to run stock cars and I figure we already have the other classes might as well add this. Same basic rules, bring any stock production car you'd like (no race mods) and you cannot add any engine, turbo, weight kits, or intake/exhaust upgrades.

You are allowed to join mid-season if there are open seats. Do not be discouraged because we are mid-season it can still be fun!

Each rally will take place throughout 5 stages. Each stage will consist of 1 randomly generated track of each surface. Number of sections/complexity will be predetermined and vary per stage. Most rallies will be gravel, but there will also be snow and tarmac (toscana) in the schedule, you will know ahead of time to get a basic tuning, then you will have a 5-8 minute shakedown run before each stage, depending on length and people's lapping times. This is designed to get 1 warmup lap, then 2 solid laps for qualification and familiarization with the new course.

After the shakedown I will start the race. You will run in your grid order. This puts emphasis on making a solid qualifying because if your number 6 and number 5 crashes you have to go around him, whereas number 1 does not have this problem. Number 1 also does not need to deal with dirt in face etc. It will work like this: 321 go, +15 seconds go +15 next guy, +15 next guy and so on. I will be watching replays to make sure nobody jumps the gun for each stage and any "gun jumping" will be penalized. There will be a 5 second penalty minimum for false starts, if it's a ridiculous jump or other variables I may extend it to a 10 second maximum penalty at my discretion.

Standings will be posted in this thread, at the reply directly under this.
How we will determine winners is just like WRC: after each stage the unofficial times are determined and tallied into a total time, and at the end of each rally the fastest overall time is the winner.

Schedule:
April 5th, and 9th will be a gravel rally.

12th/16th will be snow.

19th/23rd will be tarmac (might be Mt. Aso instead Toscana, not sure yet)

Regs will be:
No performance upgrades (Suspension/Transmission allowed as well as drivetrain etc but no intake, exhaust, engine, weight lightening, or turbo upgrades)

High Damage
High Penalties
No Boost
Real Grip Reduction
All Aids off

Wheel optional
Mic encouraged

Actually this is a really good idea, I came up with something very similar when trying to figure out how to do a proper rally. I don't think you should use the falst start option though, not fair to penalize one driver and not the others. Also, if you were last in line you could watch everybody in front of you to make sure they aren't jump-starting, in addition to watching the replay. I'll stay tuned to see if any interest pops up. :)

Yeah that was just an afterthought. One might also argue that first has a advantage because they can ride the throttle without false starts, but in that case we could just set everyone back +15.

I would work more kinks out it's just that the interest is just not happening which is so annoying because this is what I want in GT5.
 
I'm surprised there isn't more interest considering this is something a lot of people have stated they wanted in the game. The Rally portion of the game isn't fully utilized, but with a little imagination we have everything we need to make it happen. Hopefully more people will chime in soon.

I am going to add you guys right now :)

So are you guys registering then? I'll put your name up just lemme know which car
 
I am interested in this. Don't count me as commited, but I would like to see where you take this.

What it seems like it's going to be now, is I'm going to message people a few days before the test rally and see if people will still show up.

I'm starting to see some interest, but it's tough pulling people from all different places, and trying to coordinate it. What I mean is, not everyone interested goes to these forums, but as of now this thread of the 'HQ' for this series.
 
I'm 100% in. Are these 4 rally cars you speak of the Premium ones? C4, Focus, SX4, Impreza?

If this is a Premium rally cars only, why not use the Subaru Impresa RM? That's built into a rally car. (I'm using this one though, just curious)

Also will this be an open server?

I was thinking use the 4 WRC premiums (so yes, the C4 focus SX4 and Impreza) for balancing sake. If you let anybody use anything with dirt tires it becomes a bit unfair plus WRC is just for authenticity :)

And open server? Not sure what you mean, but it'll be me and my lounge and whoever comes so I guess so.
 
Well adding the RM Impreza woul give more availabilty to te choice of cars. Plus people would probably like to use it. I know the others are WRC cars but why not? There's actually a whit impreza just like the RM Impreza in the lower class of the WRC in 2010.

Open server meaning is it open to all or only in your lounge.
 
Id like to register, but ill need someone to front me an unmodified WRC Focus or C4. I upgraded mine... Unless i could use the BHP limiter to comply with the regs?
 
True, the torque would be not stock... Well shoot. If you allowed the Impreza RM i could use that...
 
Yeah I guess your right. Use any rally car you want but it has to be 300 hp (that's how much wrc has right? And whatever weight the wrc has no lighter.

Hmm but now I'm thinking. The RM impreza has more hp so people would be detuning it giving it a clear benefit. Unless we ditch the wrc idea and do a 400hp unlimited rally what do you guys think/want?
 
As long as there are rules to make it so the cars are fair and it's not just anything on dirts, as you said before, then whatever cars that attract the most people are fine with me.

That's why I'd like the wrc cars because it's realistic, equal, fun, and almost everyone has at least a C4.
 
Find the PP for the C4, and just make that the limit for all cars, with a power restriction
 
Why don't you guys just run the garage WRC cars?

I think you're throwing a wrench in the fun of this sort of competition by having the competitors set up their cars and having to worry about standardization.
I'd wanna participate if all the cars were equal, that's the only way we ran it in GTMotion's rally nights.
 
Has the car regulations settled yet? It really should include C4, Focus, Impreza, Impreza RM and no others. Premiums only right? There all in the same year span so they'll be equal too the fact that other WRC cars went along with different regulations.

Oh and put me on the participents list,
EliteDreamer/ Impreza '08
 
I have made some minor revisions to the OP regarding track selection. I've decided to make it random, giving the rallies more spontaniety, plus it'd be a royal pain in the 🤬 to share all the tracks and make them as well.

See now some people say this...I will think about it and tomorrow I will decide and it will be official.

See the thing is I really want strictly WRC. But others do not, and the Impreza RM is a great car don't get me wrong but it may be too good...not sure if I want a car like that in the mix with other more restricted cars.

But people would like to use the RM (I also think we should include the Lancer RM btw).
I think I might just stick with WRC strictly and if you don't like that then that's too bad, because this is a rally series and we're using rally cars and I think a RM might be too goofy, and kind of ruin the feeling. Not sure if that's the right wording I was looking for but hopefully you get my point.

I think that would be cool, but rally cars can be so much more amazing than they are purely stock. Not sure if you were there that night but I gave everyone a demonstration on how having a 50/50 differential wins races and they all agreed, yet you can't switch that on a garage stock car (unless you have a wheel like I did).

I get what your saying, I thought people would really want to use the RM. I see how it can probably turn out differently.

This will be in your Lobby right? If so my current account is daibaspeed. So don't kick me becuase your expecting EliteDreamer D:
 
If a person didn't have any rally cars yet, what would be the one to get for this competition?
 
I was thinking we COULD do just RM Lancer v. Impreza.

Any takers?

If not that well just stick to WRC.
 
OR, just like WRC you could have different classes. The real WRC cars and the RM class consisting of the Evo and Impreza. Can the Evo RM go off road though? It looks like it's unable to.
 
Nope I'm using it right now you just gotta tune it.

I like that idea tho. I'll type it up more tonight.
 
How many people are you trying to get into this by the way? Once again some curiousity...
