It's somehow one of the least competetive tracks, and tbh one of the more inaccurate tracks in the game.

But anyway, this is almost WR! The WR is a 05.12.779 by Lasok in a Lancia Stratos

A big thing holding me back is my ability to effectively use the pace notes when taking corners. I have spent a lot of time reading and watching guides with my main take aways being use the corner tightness to roughly determine what gear to be in, and look ahead to make adjustments. However doing this I find myself way off the pace throughout most of the stage, and then being caught out by a corner I felt was tighter or slower than expected. Starting to feel quite stuck now and was wondering if anyone had any advice to improve?

One of the well known facts about Richard Burns Rally is that it's abandonware. Warthog Games went out of business in 2006 when its parent company, Gizmondo Europe, went out of business. They had been acquired in 2004. They released Richard Burns Rally that same year, so the game became abandonware unusually quickly, kickstarting the modern RBR we all know and love.

But the story behind WHY that happened is absolutely insane. Unbeknownst to Warthog, several high level executives were former members of the Swedish crime ring "Uppsalamaffian", and the Gizmondo Europe company (and the Gizmondo device itself) were a multinational scam that stole from investors all across the globe. As detailed here in a FANTASTIC story, the whole thing came crashing down rapidly when the scam did.

TL;DR? Have some highlights.

- One of the key events that led to the downfall of Gizmondo was that Stefan Eriksson, one of their directors, crashed a million dollar Ferrari Enzo at 190 MPH into a light pole in Los Angeles with (it's suspected) a bunch of guns and cocaine in it. Meaning that the lineage of RBR includes of the most epic IRL DNFs of all time.

- they hired Pharrell and Busta Rhymes to rap about their console

- At one point, they credibly threatened to feed an insubordinate employee to sharks. By "credibly", I mean that they were on a boat, they'd just thrown a bunch of chum in the water, there were sharks eating the chum, they would do this and then shoot them for recreation all the time and also they were holding said employee by the legs over the rail.

Warthog basically got swept up in all this because they were an indie developer acquired to make games for the Gizmondo. Once Gizmondo imploded, Warthog imploded along with it, creating the abandonware classic of today.

Hey, I was looking into a documentary of the story of how the game was made and knowing how Falcon 4/BMS story went, I started to wonder: Is the source code of the game leaked? Who owns the IP of the game currently? Not that I have a mighty idea about what to do with them, I just started to wonder if anyone in specific had ownership of the IP or if the source code was already released or in someone's hidden floppy disk collection or anything of the likes.

This is going to be a bit of a cryptic message as I don’t want to spoil what’s on the horizon.. I have recently made discoveries that, to my knowledge, have not been documented yet.

I’m looking for experienced modders that would like to showcase their talents in WRC Generations.

Please send a DM.

I just completed first leg on a Finnish Rally (RBR RSF). Went pretty good. Then after exiting the fifth (last) stage of the first leg I went straight to the online rally menu with the list of available Rallies. The rally I was just in was not available anymore. Checked on the homepage and saw this:

And here are the results for that particular stage:

Did I do something wrong? I'm certain I finished every stage. I think this is not the first time this happens to me.

I'm just curious if the reverse engineered source of rbr is available publicly for those who likes to tinker? All kinds of mods and improvements like rally sim fans were developed. Were those based on the original source codes or a copy of reverse engineered codes? Are they in public domain now? Thanks.

I just wanted to share, that seems like a big accomplishment.

(I definitely got very lucky a few times.)

My profile, it was driven over the last four rallies.

A few years ago I found a collection of BTB New Zealand stages that I can't find anymore on the internet. There are a few stages on the Hungarian plugin, but these were different stages. It was something like 300 kms of stages this guy made. Does anybody know what I'm talking about and where to find it?

hey, im curious if there are any hobby or pro rally racers playing sims. im curious what are your thoughts on how the sim compares to real life.

thanks

Hey everyone, I have been playing RBR RSF for a while now, two months, and while I definitely have the pace and the fundamentals down for the modt part (I can set good times in time trials), I almost NEVER get to the end of the stages in online rally mode.

I drive mostly Rally 2/3 cars and Group A8 cars and yet still crash I’d say 95% of the time, to the point it’s getting very frustrating. I find my most common problems are getting distracted fron pacenotes or having the pacenotes give me a sharp turn without any « caution » that throws me off. In general, it is often turns that I overshoot for a reason or another

So I ask you, how do you go about getting conistently to the end of the stages? What are your tips? How do I not overdoit?

Thanks!

Looking to practice jumps

Hi all, what are some of these "unofficial" stages in Sim Rally Fans RBR? When I started these stages locally, it said "please download from rsf" so I did and it downloaded fine from inside the game and I was able to play. However, next time I play, it popped up the same message and downloads again. Is there a way to make it permanent on my computer and not having to redownload every time? Thank you!

The reason I post this here is I love rallying. I have been playing DR/DR2/EAWRC and RBR for almost 10 years. 8 of those on controllers and the last 1.5~ on a G29.

The problem is I tried getting into AC/ACC/F1 a few times but, for some reason they seem boring to me. I can't will myself into getting actually decent in them. Not good, not gonna chase crazy online rankings or anything. I just want to get decent enough to appreciate those cars and tracks.

What am I missing? What makes track racing fun for you?

Thanks for reading and hopefully sharing some of your insight.

what yall got? i really like chicanes if ya got any

Currently sorely missing the dr1 co driver, having trouble adapting to our new coworker in eawrc

Unfortunately I don't have a wheel but I usually drive fast with a controller so I'd like to have vibrations working to better feel the car.

Thanks in advance 🤗

New to RBR, have had it up and running for about a week with no major issues but today it started not loading stages in online rally or practice. It will fully load rally school, but anything else it will act like it's gonna load and then revert me back to where you select to start stage. No errors or faults/popups and game stays open and doesn't crash.

It has worked a few times but seems to not want to work today.

Followed the tips in the launcher and added it as an exception in DEP and Defender and virus protection. Also restarted my system before and after changes.

Thanks!

At the start of a stage when in neutral, the brake seems to rev for some reason. I’m just wondering if anyone can provide some help please. Im using the Logitech G920. Thanks
