The Return of Group B Rally - {Cancelled}

"You know what?" the WRC asks, "why not boost popularity and return Group B rally?"

And so, the revolution began.
Image
Rally fans everywhere are bracing for the surge of epic cars. Group B rally, if you're unaware, was a popular rally sport in the 1980's that ended sadly with a series of deadly crashes. However, thanks to new safety regulations and others, it's back and better than ever. Here, people will compete in only the fastest cars. Because of the regular homologation systems, your company will need too send out 2 cars: A street car with at least 200 units produced (doesn't change your car whatsoever) and a race car, with extreme amounts of powerrrr. Now, for the regulations.

Please, if you don't have the steam version of the game, use vanilla parts only. Build 151002 please.

Question: Automation is currently incapable of simulating offroad and rally conditions. How will you account for this given that higher offroad usually results in slower lap times?

I asked titleguy about that on the irc, to which he replied by removing off-road and utility from the list of weighed stats.

Re: The Return of Group B Rally - {Accepting Entries}

Just wanted to clear something up, but if this is going to be done on a road map, (Pikes Peak, which is paved over), then does the 'rally' car have to have high off-road capabilities, or off-road tires? I know that its meant to be group B rallying but it just wouldn't make sense to focus on off-road capability for a paved track.

Re: The Return of Group B Rally - {Accepting Entries}

The Race cars need 40-45 Off-road Capabilities, and for that you'll pretty much always need off road tires.

Re: The Return of Group B Rally - {Accepting Entries}

Since it isn't weighed and it won't change one bit on the track sim, I think you could just ignore that off-road recommendation.

I will contend in this! I would show a picture of my car, but I have not released the street version so I don't want to spoil it! :P
