GPL Rally 2 finally comes to an end

Almost 4 long months after its start, GPL Rally 2 has finally come to an end. Congratulations to all the drivers who made it to the end and to Paul Wintrip for coming out on top. Jonathan Davis also amazed in the Ferrari as did Michiel Pompert in the BRM. Almost 200 drivers finished the 14-stage event. With very stiff competition and total driving times for the combined stages adding up to over 45 minutes, I think that's an amazing retention number -- a testament to the event organizers' skill and creativity. I had a great time, learned a lot, and was very happy to scrape out a top-20 finish. Now I'm having fun tooling around in my Stratos Lancia (a little present exclusively available to rally finishers -- see this RSC thread for screenshots: http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=78147 ) You can check out the final results here: http://magnust.d2g.com/gplrally2/ itazura

No, I don't know how I did that, either! :-/ -- Above address *is* valid - but snip spamtrap to get me to *read*!

> what is GPL rally please? http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58775 http://madcowie.racesimcentral.com/gplrally2.htm A 14-week long offline GPL hotlapping competition. One stage per week and one week to submit a time per stage. Madcowie (one of the more prolific GPL track makers out there) and a few others produced a new track for release each Wednesday and racers would need to submit a time by the following Wednesday. Tracks were wild and varied, with snow and ice, big jumps, offroad forays, indoor arenas and more. There will likely be a Rally2Rank in the near future where anyone with a sado-masochistic bent can run all the rally tracks and try to "go negative" ala GPLRank. itazura

So -does that mean there is a rally conversion for GPL? Rick. "SS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

Just check out the links Richard, this is was the second one. People make a bunch of fantasy tracks that have a wall across the startline, and you do the quickest lap you can from a standing start. It's alot of fun, but sadly too time consuming for many, including me. Malc.

On the track itself? That mean we can't go race these tracks later on then? (Ok, anybody written a NoWall-patch yet? ;) Regards, Ruud
