Bavarian Rallye Challenge: The Real Deal [FINISHED]

[Spool]

Biggest thing I'm liking here is the fact that places 1-20 are seperated by only 12 secs. This means the general calibre of all entries has improved from what I remember seeing in the inaugral comp.
Unfortunately the Stallion is out of that 12secs. It was designed with more bumpy courses in mind so fingers crossed it makes up some of those 14secs and more.

Žnoprešk Avtomobil is satisfied about the first stage of the Bavarian Rallye Challenge.
Strong of the weakness unveiled and corrected of the 1984 edition, the initial ambitious plan was to stay in the first 15% of the entry, so at least 12th in the BRC1100 and 9th in the S1000.
The Reparto Performance made a very good job tuning the small Zoom for the Super1000 that at the moment we are in the expected percentile, and we hope to keep up the good work.
But... there is a "but". Everybody known that the real pain was having a competitive car against the 1.8l turbocharged BRC1100 entry. Reparto Corse have moved in two direction: a turbocharged 1.800cc I4 and a 3 liter N/A V8. Due the lack of experience on the turbocharged engine the results of the turbo prototype were disappointing. So the 3.0l N/A was chosen and honored to power the last model year of the Zeta, (the production model discontinued in the 1991) and all the effort possible were done to create a competitive car.
The 22nd place is not so bad (27,5 percentile) and we have to see how the car will perform in slower stage, were the N/A car should have some advantage compared to the turbos, but we face a bitter truth: it will be very difficult to respect our previsions on the BRC1100.
Žnoprešk Avtomobil will again confirm their better know-how on smaller and N/A car, leaving the bigger and hi-performance vehicle to the BMMC.

A strong showing for both WRT teams! Turbo cars on top and the NA cars are the strongest NA cars in the field. I'm very much looking forward to seeing the results of the stages we couldn't test on. Especially the slower ones

What's even better is that, if you ignore the top few places, the top half of the field are only separated by 13 seconds

Stage 2 Results

The results of Stage 2 have just arrived! You can find them in this GoogleDocs folder:
BRC results

Woooooow, 12th in BRC1100
And 35th in Super 1000 is not bad either, i knew that slow stages were going to be good for this beasts

[BlastersPewPew]

I love the way you are posting the results Der Bayer, also having the places gained/lost is a great idea too. Side note, I did NOT expect to gain ground on this one, if anything I expected to lose it.........strange.

I love the development in the BRC1000 class

[Reaper392]

I'm surprised that I did so well in this stage. I knew driveability was a major problem for my car, so to only lose 14 seconds on this stage and to only be behind by 10 seconds overall, is a damned good result considering this was very much a damage limitation stage.

Looks like WRC will have this completely wrapped up seeing how well their turbo cars have managed on this stage, and how well their NA cars did on the speed stage. i'll be very interested to see what they did to get such good times so I can use some of their ideas in the next competition

Good engines and good tunes. Quite simple actually.

Yes, what I meant was it would be nice to find out why the engines and tunes are better than mine so I can learn from what you did. If its just a case of everything being a little bit better than my car I probably wont be able to get much from looking at your cars, but there might be a couple of things you've done drastically different to me which I could use in the next competition

Only about 30 secs back to the front, nice improvement.

If you do get to download one or both of our cars at the end of the competition (and I hope you do!), I think there may be a couple things you can learn from them. Mostly it's just lots of work testing over and over and thinking about where the balance should be between low and high speed stages but I think there are a couple things we may have done differently from most.

I'm particularly proud of the turbo engine myself

Holding on to my top 20 spot by my fingernails this is definitely a closer series, great job everyone!

[Molotov]

7th place on BRC 1100 stage 2...
Definitely MUCH better than I expected!
