No love for rallycross?
So i noticed theres never any rallycross racing in either demo, or S2. Demo, sure, its just drifting, but in S2 you see everything from UF only to F1's only, to cruising, to cops and robbers, to leagues, but never any rally?

How come rallycross isnt to popular with you guys? Sure theres not enough cars, but it can still be done.
Well, I love track-racing than rally. Maybe there's better games for rally-racing the LFS thro.

Still I have to do rally-racing in the STCC servers.
I personally don't think RX works in LFS just yet, it just doesn't feel right, and I get little joy from it.

Track racing FTW
I like rallycross, thats all

I like rallying but there are only a few servers for rally tracks and they are empty...I don't understand why many people spend time in cops and robbers servers just smashing and crashing around or other non-racing/time-killing servers instead of pure racing what most of us are here for.
I love rally (stages like in RBR), but rallyX sucks. Maybe with more powerful buggy like cars it would be fun, but as it stands the only choice is the RB4, which gets very old very fast.
I love Rallycross
I`m really happy when I see there is servers up with BW rallycross or FE rallyX on

My best races have been in RallyX, I was a big timer when i was only in demo, and i have met some of the best people there. But still there are only really 2 Demo servers that i go to for RallyX for, and if STCC has it on i will most probably go in.

I think one of the problems with RX is that they're not fast. Most of the online racers want to go as fast as possible, and you're never going to accomplish that on a track as twisty and dirty as those.
Which is sad, because RX can be a lot of fun on the low-powered cars like the UF1/XFG, although with a full grid it can be even more chaos than a standard T1.

I think one of the fundamental missing things from LFS RX right now is that the dirt isn't rough enough. If there were more furrows and random stones and things in there, the drive would be more interesting and challenging.
Rallycross in LFS as its best can be really fun and addicting.. I remember those thousands of laps around BL rallyx rev back in my demo times It's a shame that there aren't any decent rallycross servers anymore.. those few I've seen online and joined have been more or less like banger "racing"..

Quote from AndroidXP :Maybe with more powerful buggy like cars it would be fun, but as it stands the only choice is the RB4, which gets very old very fast.

Never tried LX6 on gravel? Great fun, and you can't get bored with it
i cannot think of any other good game where rx is implemented at all. so lfs is my choice

as tukko said, the lx6 is great for rallycross, although my personal favourite will always be the fz50.

unfortunately, the devs decided not to work on the rx part after s1, but i am hoping for the best.

i am really looking forward to a new rx league .....mask?...busta? where are you guys?!?!

racing the fxr with slickmod is a blast is awesome and is the nearest thing you can get in lfs to a div 1 rx car.

one big problem for hardtrack racers is the collision-problems lfs has that are way more severe because of the many bumps. you have to adjust and drive even more clean and fair than on the hardtrack servers to survive a race. sadly many new rx-drivers do exactly the opposite.
Maybe if we had a full rallycross environment. With 3 or 4 variants and no tarmac at all...

Maybe RX is not that fast, but it's fun as hell.
that wouldn't be rallycross anymore . by definition rallycross races are held on mixed surfaces (tarmac and gravel).

but i agree, a 100% gravel track would make the knobblys useful and would be definately fun .

o yea

dammit that M.Schanche avatar is just SO cool.. Mr. Rallycross

Hehe, yea.
When he quited Rallycross, a lot of the sport`s soul died =(

But I agree with people above, would be fun with a track that was made for Rallycross, that got 3-4 settings
give me a real rally car and a real rally course and i'll be just fine
Keep an eye on http://www.simrs.com/ in the next few weeks. We should (finally) be getting around to organizing some rallycross events. Our server ([SimRS] Rallycross) is also currently hosting some custom rallyx layouts.
hehe i think there is no server that runs only rally tracks, but on STCC servers sometimes we drive some rally combo. And everyone drive whit RB4 , but still its great fun to drive rally whit that 4WD car
btw. I have just remmemberd this:
chek OLFSL combos, 1st race was rally (BL1R/RB4)
and shortly there will be one more (FE5R/UF1) i think , so if you like it join
I like rally here & there and I like how it's on alot for stcc S-1 server (and full! ).
I like using the LX for it (either 4 or 6). I think the tracks are good enough.
I'd like to see the effects of like ruts formed in the dirt part from multiple laps and racers. and some one mentioned the odd stone or two.

I have no clue what real rally is like. I always pictured it as some dirty assed race car held up by a goat herder and then hauls ass and flips over into a crowd as what rally racing is. but what is on LFS now reminds me of the dirt roads and paved state roads out in the woods of East Texas that my cousins that lived there (yeah, REAL rednecks) would take me hotrodding around on.
LOL after doing that in an Oldsmobile Cutlass, I really am beginning to think that playing with the BF-1 in rally isn't so far fetched afterall.

lol!! hehehe, didn't know that one. sadly there is not much material from these days out there, that doesn't show mostly crashes.

when schanche stepped out of the car and stopped the race by just standing in the middle of the track and waving his hands he showed how 'crazy' he can get . he was banned for the rest of the season though.
