Historic rallies on Richard Burns Rally Rallysimfans.hu

[Cheeveer]

Hello everyone,

just wanted to mention the rallies I host over on rallysimfans.hu (the easy-to-install RBR mod). Last year I felt the urge to do some rallying with historic cars, and the only way to really set up your own rallies is to use rallysimfans website and do it online. Anyone and everyone can join, but since it was in no way organized or through a community, it was just myself racing against myself, to see if I could survive the challenge.

So I'm throwing it out there, if you want to do some historic rallying on some historic rally stages, look for the rallies I host. It's hosted under my username is Cheeveer, usually 3 legs with 3 or 4 stages each, super rally is on. Cars from group 2, 4, A and B cars are eligible. I usually follow the WRC schedule or whatever historic rally it's "season" for, so today I set up a Monte Carlo rally; just look for "A Monte Carlo Rally" in the online rally list.

The tentative schedule for this winter is Monte now, an Arctic Finnish rally in a week or so, and a Swedish rally the week leading up to the WRC round. After that it really depends on what is available through the rallysimfans mod, sadly Mexico, Corsica, Portugal, San Remo and Acropolis isn't really worthwhile, but last year I did Safari, Poland, a Swedish summer rally, Estonia, Finland, Czech and RAC.

Would be fun to have some company out on the stages!

Sounds interesting, will sticky the thread so people can check it out. Do you live stream the event?

No, nothing like that. You can take part whenever you like until Monday night. I usually set up so you can drive the rally within a 4 day window. When you have started a leg, you can't exit the game and continue some other time, you need to finish the leg until you can exit to menu and take a longer break.

As for me, I ran the first leg (first 4 stages) without incident, but crashed on stage 2 of leg 2 (stage 6), so will have to miss stage 7 and 8, but can continue from stage 9 under super rally rules. Will continue this afternoon.

Good luck everyone!

Finished the first 2 legs without major incident! Just the final short leg to go, will do that during the weekend. Weapon of choice is the 1984 Audi Quattro A2.

I managed to finish the rally without any major incidents, 3rd overall out of 5 non-super-rally finishers, less than a minute behind the winner, so quite happy with that! TBH it is not often I can do these 9-10 stage rally's without writing off at least one car. Getting better all the time! 42 starters for this random event, quite cool!


Oh, and Rally Sweden is up! Open until Monday!

A bit different format as there are fewer stages to choose from in Sweden. Re-using one of the Finnish stages as it fits the landscape quite well.

How have I missed these? Been simrallying for a bit now. Any interest in reviving these, maybe hosting a bit of a special event? I can do the roadbook if you want, too. Just lemme know.

tbh, I didn't host any more rallies. Guess I fell out of love with rallying a bit after Craig Breen's death. Then I have been crazy busy during the summer. We'll see if I'll host some more this autumn.
