Cheers my friend.

Will there be any forum thread with the roadbook and all for Sweden?

 

[Neilski]

Will there be any forum thread with the roadbook and all for Sweden?

If you mean something like this thread "RDRC S8 Round 1 - Rally Monte-Carlo (23rd - 29th January 2017)" then I'm gonna go ahead and guess "yes"

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

supposed to be one a day or two before any of the events. so, yes, i bet there will be.

Eckhart is correct
The thread and everything will be fixed on Sunday, as I am gone from Thursday to Saturday on the actual Rally Sweden

 

[Eckhart von Glan]

cool, enjoy the show and give us a youtube clip or two (oh yes, and we'll slap 5 secs on each of your stage times later for having had an unfair advantage just by being there ...)

I fon't think we'll see as many retirements in Sweden but dayum those snow banks are going to have lots of visitors!

 

[Neilski]

Yup! I'm getting better at controlling my accidents so that I perform either one full spin or two (or three maybe soon if I go fast enough! ) so at least I'm facing the right drection afterwards. In Monte I could be fast and consistent. In Sweden it's gonna be one or the other...

 

[bogani]

I particularly find the fast bumpy sections tricky as it's soooo easy to put a wheel in the snow. Around you go!

Lot's of pre-testing needed for me. But schedule says no. Bah!!

General question: Why are the 2010 cars in the same class as the Lancia S4 or the Peugeot 205? In Monte-Carlo it was ok to compete with those beasts, but e.g. in Germany it will be pointless due to a lack of power on the straights. Just wondering, cheers

In sweden it wil be advantage to the 2010s for the much better suspension. In what classs would you rather have group b 4wd? Against the rest of 4wd-, group A and R4? There are bigger differences in 2wd+ to be honest.

What has to be done in the sign-up topic, a team consists of 2 cars that must be in the same class

To add to this, I feel that over the course of the season, the advantages and disadvantages will even themselves out, though I still feel that the 2010's will have the upper hand over the course of the 6 events.

I don't think there are bigger differences in the 2WD+, at least not between "best" and "worst" in class, I would say that the difference between the Kadett and Mini Cooper are big as well.

There are many reasons behind the choices we made when we made the rules, and I don't think it's a secret that if we had known that we would get anywhere near this amount of sign ups, there would've been some differences in the class-structure, nothing major, but some. However, the most amount of total entries through a season in RDRC was 96, that was back in 2011. The league had also been on hiatus for a while, and we had few drivers in the last club events (which was why it was stopped).
We wanted to give people the chance to drive the car they wanted, while they should know that some might be hard to get good results with.
I think I have stated that I hoped for 50 drivers in total for this league, and I also felt sure that we would have to remove at leat one class due to low entrants. I was very wrong there.

As both Eckhart and Mr.C have said, max 2 drivers in the same team, and must be in the same class, Gianluigi will very likely get the "D.Y.N.T. Motorsport 2/II" name for his team. The reason for not having the same name, even in different classes is that the result-program will read "Not 2 drivers - No Points".

Also, it must be done in the Sign-Up Thread
