Has anyone done a dirt/snow rally challenge? I have been looking for one to contribute. I don't use rally cars that often, so I think it would help my tuning to spend some time on it. Anyone else interested?

There was one late last year, hosted by C-ZETA (I don't know how to link things with my phone ).

But his used rally based cars, not real rally cars. I had fun in it so I'd be up for another one 👍 plus I could actually get to use my Rally cars :dopey:

I'd be interested. I enjoyed the last one quite a bit. As per, we've not held an event with pure bred rally cars yet. The previous event was run using cars generated from the 'rally base' ticket, across three different surface types.

Time to crack open the weapons grade WRC motors..??

Maybe I should take on setting that one up - dirt/snow. I would like to keep it a bit simple so that we don't kill the testers. It should be fun, not feel like hours of work. Maybe one group of cars using premium rally cars with no limits and one group of historic rally cars but with some PP limits? I'll start thinking about it.

I know you say you want to keep it simple and I appreciate that, but I'd love to see a double tune event where a tuner does both the actual rally car and the homologation car. I know that not all of the cars have both but you can get close for most of them. Just a another crazy idea of mine.💡:crazy::D
 
I'm saying that if you are going to do two rounds, one track per round might bring out more testers. Seeing that they wouldn't have to test for hours on end.

Tuners will turn out no matter the amount of tracks. I only matters what the event is and the restrictions for the event to tuners.

Per rounds?

That is a really cool idea. I think it would need to be in place of doing a premium round and a classic round?

Yeah I wouldn't sort by premium and classic since there are relatively few premium Rally cars but lots of standard rally cars from all eras.

You might want to not make it a strictly time based event as well since in that format the modern 4wds would dominate and you would have everyone tuning a Mitsu or Subie with the rare Ford thrown in for laughs.

Maybe make 50% of the score lap times and 50% drivers choice/improvement over stock. Still puts a premium on performance but if someone wants to tune a Stratos or C4 that will get crushed in lap times they can still be competitive with great tuning making the car a joy to drive.👍👍

Per rounds?

Say you have 20 tuners. For "round 1" split them into two groups and have them run an whatever track you like. That way testers only need to test one group (but can test both if they'd like). Take the top five from each group, and start "round 2" at any track you like, then you have a winner. Does that make sense?

Really it is all up to you. Do what you think will work and go with it. This is just my opinion :dopey:

Maybe even some sort of bonus points for closest lap time between Rally Car and your chosen street version?

There are really three tracks to consider. Would be nice to race on all three but again, getting into too much time for testers. Maybe pick one dirt and one snow. Each tuner submits a rally car and it's street version?

Bonus points for getting your street version as close to the full race version sounds good.

For tracks how about Chamonix West and Eiger Nordwand G Trail. Both are shorter than the full courses but offer a good mix of terrain with serious hills to contend with. The Chamonix Mini and Eiger Nordwand W Trail are both very short and quick but they are also fairly flat compared to the other versions of those courses.

How do the premiums stack up against the classics at the same PP level?

I could think on it... I liked this idea, something to think about.

There are only 5 premium Rally cars. The Citroën C4 WRC '08, Ford Focus RS WRC 07 '08, Subaru Impreza WRC 2008, Suzuki SX4 WRC '08 and the Toyota Celica GT-FOUR Rally Car (ST205) '95. All are 4wd and should easily outperform any FR or FF cars in rally conditions.

For standards you have a much greater variety of cars and that is where you'll also find most of your Homologation cars as well. (The Lancia Delta being the exception as the Rally Car is w standard but the street version is a premium.:odd:) Again the newer cars which are mostly 4wd will have a performance edge on dirt and snow over the FR and FF cars of the 60s, 70s and 80s at any given PP.

Here is what I have written as for rules for the Super GT/JGTC shootout I'm planning on doing.

Rules (could be changed):
1) Two categories of car:
1a) GT500: 500 HP and 1200 Kg.
1b) GT300: 300 HP and 1175 Kg.

2) Tuners can tune one car per category.

3) Tuners will have to choose from a list which car they want to tune (if a huge number of tuners sign in to the shootout, two tuners may tune the same car).

4) Tracks that will be used:
4a) Nurburgring Nordschleife (might be changed)
4b) Suzuka Circuit
4c) Fuji Speedway F

5) Each tester will have to run 2 laps on the Nordschleife and 5 laps on both Suzuka and Fuji.

6) Each tester will have to submit their fastest lap on each track, and those times will be added to make the total time of each tester.
6a) Those total times will be added between them to make the total time of each tuner (this might need to be re-written, my english isn't that good).

7) Each tester will choose their top 3 cars, which what they'll consider the the best gains 3 points, the 2nd gains 2 points and the 3rd gains 1 point. (Much like Ryan's showdown this 7th rule).

8) Each tuner may only change from one track to another the final gear ratio (Much like Ryan's showdown again).

PRIZES:

The tuner with most points wins a 1 million car and 5 rare paints.
The second tuner with most points win a half million car and 3 rare paints.
The third tuner with most points win a quarter million car and a rare paint.
The fastest tuner and fastest tester (those are from the added times) win both a half million car and a rare paint.

Feedback would be really greatly appreciated.

EDIT: 1500TH POST!!

I think the HP/Weight idea if fantastic. It seems like it would make for closer competition. I hope you stick with this idea 👍
 
The only thing I would kill here would be using the Nord. The lap is so long to get many tries in, though GP/D or F would be welcome for me.

*throws a banana at Wallbanger* Update the OP some time ya ol' fart! :D Got three future events to add!

That's what I though. I'm thinking in keeping only Fuji and Suzuka for the shootout.
 
Depending on timing I would swap out Suzuka as well. Not because of the track per se but because the current event is running there. If there are a couple events between it would be fine but back to back at the same place would get a little boring, at least in my opinion. :D

Of course I'm not trying to tell you how to run your event. It's all up to you in the end and should be fun no matter what. 👍
 
@DigitalBaka I've not added anything to the upcoming events list because I didn't think anyone had made a firm commitment to sponsor an event. Also need a bit more info than a name and a maybe LMPs or Maybe Rally Cars type thing. Thought people were trying to get input on their ideas before making a firm commitment. If I'm wrong then let them by all means tell me so and I'll hasten to add them!👍👍
 
Well mine is firmed up if you want to add it. 👍 No name yet but I'll think of something interesting.

Uhm maybe I didn't look back far enough but all I saw was that you were interested in running an event similar to the TOF one I did with multiple rounds and somewhere around 550-600PP. No car types or tracks or anything more specific. Makes it a bit tough for me to do more than list your name.:lol:
Don't need a lot of specifics but something to define it. i.e. Country or type of cars or something please.:drool:
 
What, you can't read minds now? :P :lol:

OK, here we go then. We'll call it "World Challenge" unless I come up with something better.

-Judging: Lap time only. There will be driver choice but results will be based on the clock
-PP Restriction: 550-600
-Tires: S3/R1...haven't decided yet, leaning toward S3
-Cars: Production road cars (excludes tuners, concepts, racers, Beats.... :D), only ONE of each car may be used
-Tuners: Limited, 3 teams of 4-5 depending on interest
-Tracks: Three for the first round: one real course/city from each continent to be disclosed AFTER tuning deadline; top from each team will be able to tweak and run on a selected original course which will be disclosed when the first round is over.
-Testers: Able to test by group
-Prizes: For the team with the highest average time, closest top and bottom time, fastest from each team and overall fastest; testers get something for each group they run, bonus for all 3, fastest and slowest laps

I think mine is pretty much firmed up. I just need to change Suzuka for another track and I can't use Tsukuba too since they're being used by Ryan's shootout... I'm thinking about Tokyo R246..
 
Do you mean 4-5 people collaborating on a tune or 4-5 people tuning 4-5 cars under the same team name?

It would be 4-5 tuners, 1 car each. So we'll have Team USA, Team Europe, Team Asia each with 4-5 cars for 12-15 total. The prizes for average group time would be, obviously, by each team with the fastest from each team moving to round two. So that's 3 tuners/cars for the second round. You would be asked to only have your teammates give feedback before the deadline, though as we discussed elsewhere it is not something that can really be enforced...just honor system. :)

So you got team USA only using US cars
Europe using european cars
Asia using asian cars

sounds intresting :D

Yes. Until I realise that I am, basically, representing Asia on my own. Who else here is living in a part of Asia? Australia doesn't count, if they ever did, they have more in common with USA than Asia anyway. :lol:
