2 entries per person might get a bit much in these I think. Every man women or child for themselves.


It's just the standalone ones I have set to 2 entries.. the league is going to allow just 1. Easy to change all to 1...

No engine restrictions...

I think I have 2 firetrucks somewhere, hang on, let me go fetch them  :rolleyes:

(To be fair, I think weapons might make it way to chaotic, but that's just my opinion  ;))



What should the CR/engine restriction be?

Also... the 3 events that are on the list are all... 22:30:00...
I sure hope not, I cant make that time on weekdays ;)

I'm honestly not to sure, it might actually be better without restrictions depending on how you set it up, but engine classes would certainly be a good thing, all this depends on how often the events run thou.

After I watched that replay, given that the checkpoints will go over hills like that, I don't think bringing heavy gear into the race will be viable, so I guess the CR restriction wont be a big deal.

I don't know, I'm still worried about weaponry for these events, given that these are pro events, people can but quite powerful guns on their vehicles, it's not something you can really restrict because, given they are pro events, that's how it is.

but I suppose making one of the events a 5l class event would be a good idea, but nothing lower than that, it would be painfully slow in the wilderness.

Just one last thing, any plans for just pure rally racing, as while guns are fine, it makes it troubling to bring anything fun there, as racing with speedy cars, you wont last long ;)

Well, I'll get to race next week then I guess... and darn, I've wanted this for so... so long :D

Might I suggest another time for an event by the way, Saturday 22.00 server time, there are usually a lot of people online during that time, and it's one hour after the regular league event, so they shouldn't clash.

(And yet another edited post)

Actually, while those times for the events are good, think you can switch the time of the Monday and Wednesday event every other week, because currently, people in the European timezone will probably never get to race in GW, and people who live far of the server time will never get to race in SS.

Keep the Friday time thou, that's a good one, imo.

I was thinking if Pro events, it might make it too easy for those with more money/ power, one car kills em all with heavy armour, the other runs like its on fire. But I guess its not much different to normal Deathrace events. I mirror Fireflys concerns.

I actually think stock cars would be the way to do these. But a whole bunch of classes from 30 to 150 would be good. Or maybe if 2 vehilces, a combined CR like in the SCL.

I think the times look good, so you can all get gablotted and leave this one to us Aussies, we know whats best in the outback anyway.  :rolleyes:

By the way, if this catches on, think you'll expand it to maps beyond the gate maps?

Like... blown with the wind... man... dude... those dunes, those sweet sweet dunes, these sweet dunes!!!

You know you want to race on that map, you all know you do!

Are the finer points mentioned anywhere? like the gates rules and so forth?

Registering from the web only etc. Edit: ahh yes, in the original post.

Looks good
More Wilderness racing than "Point to point"

Would it be possible tobuild your own courses on existing maps and submit them ?

a little team of men go out from Somerset and cement them into the floor. On some surfaces they are simply pile driven into the earth. When they are on rock guy ropes are used.

AGREE. When are we gonna get to try this with stock cars so there's a level playing field?

Can we set one of these up custom?

that rally was insanely fun. It combines the unpredictability a scout with the thrill of a race.
