JorritVD Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 (edited) Bwoaahhh, What a track!!!! So short, but maybe the most challenging so far of all. The braking downhill I still trying to find the correct braking point. After the technical part uphil starts and need to nail it quite well. I am happy I have seen the WRX in real there last year. It actually helps with the uphill section, although I might go a bit to much sideways in the left hander before the right hander. (the track is only missing a jump 😛) Edited August 14, 2019 by JorritVD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JorritVD Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 @PJTierney You know if the team is busy with some RX features? Also I have noted it here: https://forums.codemasters.com/topic/35255-jorritvd’s-suggestions-for-dirt-rally-20/ Return of RX race structures from DR1/D4 - "Final only" with 6 cars in position (so not the current one with 5 cars next to each other in qualifying heats) (This was in DR1 and D4) - "Finals". So only with Semi-Finals and Final. So no qualifying heats (This was in DR1 and D4) - Maybe some new ones: --- Short event: with one quali round, semi final and a final. --- Full event, but without the consolidation finals Alternative track lay-outs - Returning from D4: Hell, Holjes, Lydden Hill, Loheac, Montelegre - Maybe also for the new tracks if realistic. Think Estering, Silverstone and GP3R ain't possible. Night weather option - F.e. F1 games has it for Monaco and other tracks as far as i know. - DiRT 3 had it for Monaco RX. It would be cool to race in the night with Rallycross with all the lighteffect (flames from the exhaust, dust, hot brakes, brake lights. Ok, they not have headlights.

JorritVD Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Here in the Netherlands the RX also not really well, the Eurocircuit Valkenswaard has problems with permits and almost can't be open for RX events. I'm trying to push the TT-Circuit Assen, which is near me home, to build and RX lay-out in their track. It is close to Germany and if the Eurocircuit has hopefully its permits correct again, it could be quite a boost for the RX community in the Netherlands. My idea for the track at Assen - Calculated, the track is a few hundred meters to short. But with extending the gravel sections this can be solved - The last corner is an hairpin. If this section could be make longer, than an extra jump can be added - My idea is to have a fast first turn, it will make it very excited with the starts and to make big drifts - The tighter corners are in gravel, so it makes more sense to send it than keeping it tight. - There is a jump section, as I said, if the track is a bit longer, a 3rd jump can be made. You could see it as a kinda "finland" section with multiple (not to big) jumps after each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janneman60 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Don't really think Assen would be a good place. No historic in rallycross in the north (more oval racing) and to far from Belgium.

Oval Racing in the north?? Never heard off. There is quite some Autocross over here yes which have oval shaped track, but Oval racing? There is just one Oval track, and that is in Venray and used for the European Nascar series. Assen would be perfect to start building an northern RX community in the Netherlands. With that, you get a bigger RX community in the Netherlands. Doesn't matter if the history is here or not. It is to create a bigger RX community and with Assen I think the facilities and money to do it. And if the Motorrace track near Oss is also suitable, than make an RX track of that as well. It seems you rather have the RX community to be dead in the Netherlands than have an RX track on Assen. But it is to create and build, and with more facilities than it also comes more attractive for teams to invest in, teams like Bas Koeten Racing, Ferry Monster Autosport, Johan Kraan, Autocross teams who can also race with their cars on RX tracks. Business cases become more interesting an new opportunities. Also to far from Belgium? I see Belgium people go to France and the Estering, which is more far away.

Janneman60 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I think Assen would be a great place for a WRX event, sure. And well, I DO have an idea how rx works in Netherlands/Belgium. Competitor since 1985 and spectator since 1973. Still attend every rx event, know the public, know rhe organisers, know the problems. Suggesting other places to take over, or on top of, it is not the right time for that now. It surely not helps the hard working people who want to save the Eurocircuir.

MattyH1812 Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I think I've found out what is causing the grid bug for semi finals, this is copied from my bug report (minus the PJ tag): UPDATE 3: I believe this bug is caused by consolidation finals. When the semi finals load, it says Consolidation Semi-Final on the information screen where the track is showcased, even if you finish the heats in the top 12. Consolidation finals have 5 car lineups right. So that would be why the cars are lined up in a row of 5 with the 6th car out of position. Maybe this bug will mean the removal of consolidation finals as an always on feature, like I've been pushing for since they were introduced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you overshot the gap jump to land on the flat you'd have to leave the jump at over 140mph. Watching the coverage now, I'm gonna bet he sailed it over the last jump on the track, the one right before they rejoin the pavement on the front straight. It's a sharp run up to a short tabletop, and everyone's spiking the brakes now before going over the top of it.

Still amazing he finished the lap thought, must have been painful with three broken parts. positive news though, it seems Speed will do a natural recovery without surgery. It will take eight weeks and I wouldn’t be suprised after that he still need to do a lot of physical and possible mental recovery. His season is definitely over.

Glad that the Euros were on this weekend, so I could watch some proper rallycross! Well, I do understand, but I got into RX due to DiRT3 and... Global Rallycross. Although the gimmicks are not needed for good racing, it is ofcourse an USP to attract new fans, together with a Foust, Block and Pastrana. And how more fans there are around the world, the better it is for the future of RX imo. Most of the times I prefer the old school tracks. If that is RX or if that is with sportscar racing. But I think also the new Spa RX track is cool. And I think if the NRX track would be in the game, it might be one of the most popular ones. Although it might be a bit difficult due to licensing, NRX is not from IMG ofcourse, but maybe add it might be beneficial for NRX, ARX and WRX. People who liked NRX might follow now ARX and WRX as well. More teams might consider doing NRX. Etc. And this could f.e. result in Hyundai and Honda returning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
