My brother, my roommate and I have all had a friendly competition amongst ourselves for the past couple weeks to get the fastest time on this tarmac stage of Richard Burns Rally. We've gone back & forth for awhile but for now I'm holding the top time by about 1 1/2 seconds. :)

Here's my best run on this stage so far...

hmmm, maybe I fire RBR tonight to see what I can do. I'm overdue for some RBR action anyways.

I hate that tarmac rally in RBR.

Let's do a fastest mineshaft stage in Rally Canberra in Australia challenge. :)

God...so many games I want but I need to build my new computer. :(

i stopeed after you hit teh guard rail 20 sec in

It was very clean and fast from there on. I'll have to try that someday.

Oh, and IBloebwinsit

Yeah, it was sketchy at the beginning. I've had much cleaner runs obviously but none have been that fast. Like I said though, I think it's feasible to find another second in this stage but not much beyond that.

Probably a couple, but it wouldn't be easy you were very fast towards the end where the course was more high speed

Ah, here we go I was looking for these top times (http://www.thexav.freesurf.fr/RbRMultiplayer/modules.php?name=Records&file=classementComplet&competition=records_origine&numSpeciale=41).

2:30:15 just seems unbelievably fast and I don't know if they were using the same Subaru or a mod car, or if they tuned it. Mine was with the default tuning and the default Subie.

Stop hitting the guard rails! There are probably at least 5 seconds in the lap if you stop hitting the guard rails and take the hairpins better.

You'd be surprised. I can definitely take the hairpins better but I didn't lose as much time as it looked like. Even when you take very tight and clean lines through the hairpins the fastest I've seen is not even a second faster in the first sector. I think my brother is holding the record for the fastest first sector time of 1:03:98 compared to my 1:04:37 on that particular run. 1:03's are about the best you could hope for I think... unless somebody proves me wrong that is. ;)

Of course the hard part is stringing it all together. I had cleaner runs I could've uploaded that may have looked faster but were not.

hitting gaurd rail is verboten juts like in real life.


After not driving this in at least 6 months I carded a 2:48 after a few re-tries.
1:07 on 1st sector iirc. I'm very sloppy...yadda..

Aussie east-west is another fun one.

fun tho.

you are slow take the cornesr more smothley and use the long geabox change gears before the rev limiter light you will go faster and get about 1 sec out of that alone.
I make these times whit a S1600 punto whit a wrc the times are around 2.29-2.31 Wr lies around 2.27 :D i dont know how its is possible but it is :D

Can you upload your replay (rpl) file?

Hey burned, I don't want to say that I don't believe you, but well... I don't. I just looked and that time would be feasible for the Cote D'Arbroz 2 stage, however.

By the way I just found this clip...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8eOVgCvJlgQ

It's as close to perfect as I've seen. It's really hard to pick out places where they could've been faster. And it was all for a time of 2:33:04... about a second faster than me.

As i said to you in PM give me an email and i will send you a rpl whit an impreza at stinking 2.30.74! The car is an impreza 2005 whic is alowed to be used in our championship. And i suck at WRC cars i drive better my punto s1600.

P.S. On the video too short gear ratio shanging gears too high breaking to fast sliding too much.

Edit :
Ill make a video and put it on youtube today.

Edit: i cant make a video so i amde a screenshot whit fraps ! Here you go

I replied to your PM.

By the way, is this the same Subaru that comes with the game? I noticed some people are using different variants and such. I haven't loaded any extra cars though and I really haven't unlocked much yet. I'm using the Subaru that's unlocked when you first load the game and with the default tuning.

you got your replay on your mail :)


I use another model the 2005 it looks nicer . But as i said i drive the s1600 class

You get a lot of new cars at Black hole motorsports go search there :)

Burned, I never did get that replay to work. RBR would crash whenever I tried to load it (even when I had the updated model installed).

But I beat my own record with a 2:33:00...
http://www.dailymotion.com/SWortham/video/x2fa8m_rbrcote23300_auto

My roommate beat my 2:33:00 record with a 2:32:38, so I had to see where he was faster and learn from it. He was putting together awesome 1st and 2nd sectors. Fortunately, I was still faster in the 3rd sector so once I matched his 1st and 2nd sector pace I knew I could beat his time.

It took me several hours but I did it with a 2:31:88. All of this is still with the default tuning. It never ceases to amaze me how you can always be a little faster.

As an aside, all of this RBR action has obviously improved my car control in real life. I figured the game would help sharpen my reaction times and improve my instincts. But just the other day when driving my car I was able to actually anticipate a slide and counter-steer before it even happened. It was a thing of beauty because I felt no abrupt weight transfer, and it seemed to be timed perfectly. I've anticipated a slide and counter-steered before but never have I executed it that perfectly. So, thank you Richard Burns Rally. I believe this game along with GTR2 and rFactor are great tools for anyone involved in autocrossing, rally, or road racing.

So we were right about you being able to get a faster time out of the car ;)

Yep, I still don't know about 5 seconds without tuning. ;) But you were right, there was certainly more room for improvement than I expected. I'll try to upload the replay later. I do hit a guardrail in this run but it's a graceful impact (lol) that slingshots the car around the corner in the last sector. I am a lot faster and smoother through the first sector though... you'll be proud.

I hate that tarmac rally in RBR.

Let's do a fastest mineshaft stage in Rally Canberra in Australia challenge. :)


You guys need to look for the jump for that stage on youtube lol ...

Seems like a cool game I will have to check it out.

Mineshaft stage is absolutely insane. I'd love to spectate it @ the jump. :eek:

Here's the vid...

I tried Google this time hoping the video quality would be better, but I don't think it is... dang.

haha nice jump at the end
