Well, I did it, but I had a terrible rally. Something happened to my setups- RBR sometimes will mess up setups, but I can't figure out how or why. I suspect it's because as a warm up I did some rallies in my single player season with the Xsara and used the same setups as I use online. I think maybe the game does not reset changes to your setups as a result of damage. It's only a hunch, but that car brand new for this rally felt an AWFUL lot like the banged up car I was struggling with in my season.

Either way, I drove like shit, but finished. I had no brakes for the last 3/4 of SS5 and all of SS6 but still managed to use engine braking to keep out of the weeds!

Midi · 13 August 06, 19:05

I have heard that it's recommended that you will boot rbr before using plugin, because of the setup issues.

The latest No-Grip team stats.

Looks like a close contest between Midi and guybo

guybo · 14 August 06, 09:52

Lesson learned! What are those stats, YorT?

RBR Czech Online Rank!!

Anyone fron No-Grip who participates in our team will have access to the online stats.

Midi · 15 August 06, 07:12

YorT, do you still have problems with the plugin?

Rallyfan · 15 August 06, 09:18

I managed to finish it, although i feel i could have been a lot faster when using my own setups, because the default ones are not good at all when driving with a keyboard like me...

Anyway great fun to say the least!

Midi · 15 August 06, 09:29

Why then you didn't use your own setups?

YorT · 15 August 06, 09:41

I've decided to re-install RBR, haven't had a chance to go online or even setu a new user.
maybe this weekend I'll try

I couldn't change it for some reason, don't ask why, maybe i have to reinstall RBR as well..

Midi · 15 August 06, 10:09

Strange, did you go straight into plugin when started rbr? If you drive some practise before starting tournament it may mess up the setup selection.

guybo · 15 August 06, 21:57

Aha- I understand. I'm surprised I am so close to Joona- I can't keep up with that cat- he is much better than I am.

Midi · 15 August 06, 22:06

Rally closed and leaderboard updated.

Still some technical problems with everyone else so easy win for me.

ps. tell me if someone no-gripper is missing from the leaderboard

Don't get me wrong here

i said i could have been faster BUT only by max 1min or so!

I also reinstalled RBR and good news - the setup problems solved now

EDIT: Does anyone know why Pero was so slow (by his standards of course!) ?

EDIT2: I read the race comments now i know the reason...

Pero_Grozni · 16 August 06, 10:59

hehe - yes I was utter crap
I really am not fammiliar with the stages and drive RBR VERY rarely. I did this with no practise and it showed - I know that I could be on the pace if I had practised a lot in advance, might still do it for the next round.

guybo · 16 August 06, 15:25

Where can we find the season standings so far? I have a 1st place and a 4th place, so I should be doing OK.

Also, when is the next rally and where are we heading (virtually speaking)?

Midi · 16 August 06, 18:11

We are not driving season yet

guybo · 16 August 06, 21:01

I quote the name of this rally...

"No-grip RBR Race 2" Then why is it Race 2? If it's not a season or anything, than the name of it should be...

"Another No-grip RBR Race" shouldn't it?

Then when do we start a season up? This is good news because I'll be able to avenge my terrible luck in GB! And maybe when the season starts up I'll have my new pedal setup too!

Midi · 17 August 06, 06:36

Ok sorry my mistake that naming thing.

Well, maybe we could start a season. Let's have a look at it next week. Now i'm going to leave to Jyväskylä

A problem that i share with you i guess, i have been away/or working with the WRC mod...

I better get some mileage and experience from the stages or i won't improve much even with my own setups

Yeah, I know a lot of the stages pretty well now, but I absolutely suck at the reversed stages. I've always had problems with reverse stages and tracks in racing games. Not sure why, really.

guybo · 20 August 06, 15:33

Rally School 1 was reversed. There was talk for a long time about coming out with every stage reversed. No talk of it in a while now though.

What happened with that mod?
