RDRC Season 4 - General discussion

[Nigel Atkins]

So for Round 2 is required, no?

Thanks!

i think its to early to say for definate yet, i would download it and save it for now.

 

[Oscar Hardwick]

Oh ****. I already put it on. D:

 

[Senad Subasic]

I'll be installing it. There are still 2 club rallies before Round 2, it should be fine.

 

[Nigel Atkins]

you two can be our guinea pigs

Mini S2000 is now sans turbo for some reason.

Mini S2000 is now sans turbo for some reason.

Aren't the other S2000 cars without turbo's?

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

Mini was never without turbo. It was designed for 1.6T engine, I think there wasn't a 2litre version... If it lacks turbo, it is quite a fail

Yep I know, but I was referring to the in-game (RSRBR2012) version.

I was wondering if maybe RallyeSim have removed the turbo to equalise the physics and performance with the other S2000 cars. Maybe they also have equalised the engine power performance as well, I've seen that done elsewhere in RSRBR to keep cars within classes competitive.
Dunno really?

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

That sounds strange to me, that they would equalise them by changing the whole engine. It should be possible to maintain performance etc. by numbers, this sounds more like a bug to me

 

[Warren Dawes]

Best way to find out for sure would be to ask over at RallyeSim.

"Il est trop tard pour prévoir les S2000 turbo pour cet IRC.
L'info que les turbocompressées pouvaient rouler en IRC n'a été donnée qu'en décembre/janvier.

Pour le moment on gardera une mini avec moteur atmo pour garder homogène le championnat. On verra quandon sera prêt à sortir plusieurs caisses.

Nous avons toujours dit que nous avions environ une année de décalage avec les intégrations réelles aux championnats. Car c'est trop de taf en trop peu de temps.


Si la mini sort avec un moteur atmo, ca sera deja très bien."

"It is too late to predict S2000 turbo for this IRC.
The info that could drive a turbocharged IRC was given in December / January.

For the moment we keep atmospheric engine with a mini to keep homogeneous the championship. We'll see quandon be ready to go out several boxes.

We always said we had about a year of step with the actual integrations championships. Because it is too taf in too little time.


If the mini comes with an atmospheric engine, already ca be fine. "

 

[Ondrej Kapal]

Ahhh From what I understood, it is because of IRC championship at Rallye sim? -> "For the moment we keep atmospheric engine with a mini to keep homogeneous the championship."

 

[Warren Dawes]

So my suspicions were right.
I can understand it, they need to keep the Packs as equal as possible for Championships, or they would need to put the MINI into a separate Class.
As long as it compares equally to the other S2000 cars, I'd prefer to see it in that class to add to the variety.
Now we need some feedback on how the latest S2000 MINI compares to the previous S2000 MINI performance.

 

[Oscar Hardwick]

Pretty similar. Lighter on the front in my opinion so the setup will need to dial in more front bite or just softer front shocks to get it to feel as it was but the chassis and general characteristics are still there. Without the turbo the top speed is much closer to the other S2000s now and with that has come vastly increased acceleration.

Softer front and a change in the brake pressures should make for just as good a car as the S2000 version with the turbo bolted on.

 

[David Jundt]

I guess that means we'll probably use update 3 in the next rally, right?

 

[Senad Subasic]

I guess that means we'll probably use update 3 in the next rally, right?

Yes. It's only an issue if it happens during a championship round. If it's in between rounds, update away. It says it's mandatory on rallyesim anyway.

 

[David Jundt]

Good to know, thanks

 

[David Jundt]

Oh gawd, more sign-ups using that horrible URT Impreza! You guys make my car look prettyxD

...and that coming from someone that used to love Impreza/McRae and be against Lancer/Mäkkinen.

 

[Daniel Monteiro]

Hehe David, so did I! but i learned to like Makinen's evo6, it is one sweet piece of machinery.
But anything up to 2000 the Subaru beats them all by far!

And I have to say I am quite looking forward to see these new sign-ups, let's see how my fellow nationals do in Coffs Harbour Rally
