then its pretty simple why rallycross is smaller compared to tarmac racing, we dont got so many layouts, and...
The big thing it that we dont got any racesystem to organize events. Most rallyx events today is "50 laps on FE RallyX with RB4". And thats not the original idea with rallyx. It should be 3-5 laps intense race, no need to save tyres or worry about fuel. You race in 3 qualification rounds and then the fastest drives Finals. No pitstop.
We drove with that system in RallyXchampionships a year ago, it worked well, but coz we had to do everything manually, it took quite much time and effort. http://www.freewebs.com/rallyx/rules.htm#62935556
But RallyX is a very nice feature in LFS, it has very good potential
A joker lap is common in REAL rallyX and means that you have to go a different way than the original track layout one time/ race. That’s to generate exiting and tactical races. The race isn’t over just because someone takes the start. The drivers behind could choose to take the joker lap early or late and try to close the gap and maybe pass because of the joker lap. This often makes the fastest/most tactical guy around the track to win, instead of having a bad start and get blocked behind the leader.
Gravel biased track:
As things are as present, the hybrid tyre is the dominate one on all rallycross tracks. It has much better grip on the tarmac than the knobbly and coz of that it’s outstanding. A track with mostly gravel would generate that more drivers choose the knobbly tyre, which can go very fast on the gravel parts.
Just my thoughts about the situation, but be patient guys
Rallystages could be a fun event, but it needs much organisation cause LFS dont support it atm.
Rallycross is still working best when you drive it like we did in RXC imo, if the organisation around the system is good, it can work smooth and can be more fun than driving a single race 50 laps all cars on grid
I totally agree. I mean, cmon guys. Lets be nice and understand that people like different things in LFS. Some like racing, some like rallycross, some like drift etc.
This discussion is a little bit oversized i think. Acceptance is a good work in this case. No one force you to hang around on driftservers if you dont like drift. Simplicity is pure science LFS have soooo many different forms, lets enjoy that instead of make it to some sort of World War 3. (I dont say thats it wrong to discuss things, but this feels kinda enlarged) So lets bury teh hatchet and smoke the pipe of peace.
