Title: Anyone for Rally cross?
Post by: FullMetalGasket on April 19, 2020, 03:12:14 PM +0100
I found this track earlier in the week and had a go in the Quattro - very tricky to drive as there's so much power and so little grip but my god this is a fun combo  8)

Anyone fancy trying it in something slower like the Celica? ;)

Being a rally fan, that looks a lot of fun  :) I’d be interested, using slower cars like celica or Fulvia mod would be a giggle.

There are also some rallycross cars floating around (I think there is a Citroen DS3 RX)

Yeah, but we all know that old school is the only school  :D

That looks like a properly made rx track indeed. Not sure if AC is the best sim for this kind of racing. I use Loeb Rally Evo for some occasional rallying. But sure willing to try it out! Count me in.

I had a quick search at the DS3 rx and found this. Might be good to test them out?

Mmmm if you insist on old school, then we should take the Escort RS there  ;D

Rally fun also here, RallyX would be fun but there is an app or something to check everyone do the joker lap?
An hillclimb also could be fun.
Unfortunately there is no good navigator app afaik so a rally stage does not worth the effort :( what a pity

Judging by the tyre squeal and red flashing engine block does the car last very long  :o

Great driving there FMG and on slicks!!

I've turned the boost up to full ;)
I'll just leave it that the engine will happily out live the tires :o

To be fair it wasn't an entirely serious post due to the lack of tracks available, the lack of grid spots, and the lack of any way to enforce the joker lap.

If enough interest existed I could look into it for the fun races prior to next season though?

I can imagine it being tricky to organise and join!

Could we use Dirt rally 2.0?

We could use the "club" function that comes with the game.
I don't know about RX never used for that. But I've done some rallies with that. It's quite good.
