Do we have to use the Rallye pieces, or are the roads car eligible also? I'd imaine not..


Cheers,
Jetboy

 

[speedemon08]

[jgda9rs]

Sweet!

 

[Jetboy.]

Very.

 

[Lucas]

I was going to enter this pic... but afterwards, I realized it wouldn't be morally correct, and thus I'm going to shot a different picture. You can see this one if you want to, however. It won't count as an entry, though. If you look at it closer, you will see what I tried to reproduce.

 

[02zetechse]

^ DUDE that is awesome i like what you tried to create

 

[MinoltaMan89]

...I don't get it. Is there some famous rallying crash that I'm unaware of?

 

[Watchman]

I think those people came around the car to celebrate?

 

[Lucas]

...I don't get it. Is there some famous rallying crash that I'm unaware of?

Exactly. It isn't easy to recreate a crash against a group of persons in this particular game. This is the best video I could find, still fairly long for the few seconds I actually want to show you. At around 2:30 you will see it.

I'm glad you could see what I meant, 02zetechse, and that you liked it. I think I can do it better now, so I will give it another try in a few hours. 👍

 

[GrumpEone]

what I don't get, is why we have 19 posts, and no entries. What are we going for here, one page of posts per entry??

And through my complaining, I am in violation of my own complaint... lol

FIRST ENTRY ! WOO!

...I don't get it. Is there some famous rallying crash that I'm unaware of?

Yes, and its got something to do with Group B:

1985

On the "Lagoa Azul" stage of Portuguese Rally near Sintra everything was to go tragically wrong. Portuguese national champion Joaquim Santos crested a rise to find the road blocked with spectators crowding to see the fastest cars come through. He lost control of his RS200 while trying to stop and plunged into the crowd. Thirty-one people were injured and three were killed. All the top teams immediately pulled out of the rally and Group B was placed in jeopardy.

1986

Disaster struck again in early May at the Tour de Corse. Lancia's Toivonen was leading the championship, and once the rally got underway he was the pace setter. Seven kilometres into the 18th stage, Toivonen's S4 flew off the unguarded edge of a left hand hairpin bend and crashed into a ravine. The car landed inverted with the fuel tanks ruptured by the impact. The combination of red hot turbocharger, Kevlar bodywork, and ruptured fuel tank ignited the car and set fire to the dry undergrowth. Only a cloud of smoke and the lack of Toivonen's car at the finish indicated that something was very wrong. By the time rescue workers made it to the remote spot (some 30 minutes, by some accounts) all that remained of the car was a blackened frame with the bones of Toivonen and co-driver Sergio Cresto inside. With no witnesses to the accident it was impossible to determine what caused the crash other than Toivonen had left the road at high speed. Some cite Toivonen's ill health at the time (he reportedly was suffering from flu); other suggest mechanical failure, or simply the difficulty of driving the machine although Toivonen had a career full of crashing out while leading rallies. Up until that stage he was taking stage win after stage win and leading the rally by a large margin with no other driver challenging him. Simply using a racing fuel cell in place of the fuel tank may have saved them.

The crash came a year after Lancia driver Attilio Bettega had crashed and died in his 037. While that fatality was largely blamed on the unforgiving Corsican scenery (and bad luck, as his co-driver, Maurizio Perissinot was uninjured), Toivonen and Cresto's death, combined with the Portugal tragedy and televised accident of F1 driver Marc Surer in another RS200 which killed his co-driver, compelled the FIA to act: Group B cars were immediately banned for 1987. Audi decided to quit Group B entirely after Corsica.
