"Straight roads are for fast cars. Turns are for fast drivers"
Colin McRae
Here comes a brand new championship, brought to you by Race Green Events.
Inspired to WRC, here comes the Race Green's WORLD RALLY CUP
A proper Rally Championship, featuring 14 Special Stages spread all around the globe in 6 spectacular locations, each of them having unique characteristics and challenges!
WHEN: From February 10th to early April, racing on Mondays! WHERE: All Around the LFS Globe, in lots of challenging rally stages! WHY: It's going to be exciting and different from the usual LFS racing. SERVER: World Rally Cup (offline) (will be pass protected during events)
For example, the tarmac specialists will find their paradise around places like Blackwood, while the hardcore rally drivers will shine in Westhill and Fern Bay!
Between jumps, technical sections in the forests and driving in some of the most unaccesible spots of Live for Speed, it will take great driving skills, reflexes and courage to come out on top!
It will take a complete set of skills to master all terrains and become the first Race Green's World Rally Cup Champion!

Rally is a special Motorsport discipline, consisting in challenging Time Trials around different stages.
Every second will count in each stage: you'll have to minimize the mistakes and be consistent through all the Rally event to bring the win home!
Like in WRC, each stage lap-time will be added up to form the Rally classification.
At the end of the Rally (composed of multiple stages), the Top 15 drivers will be awarded with points, forming the overall championship standings!
Some of the rallys will also feature a short Bonus Race at the end of the timed runs: these kind of wheel to wheel races will be an adrenalinic rush after competing against the clock, and will feature precious points for the overall standings.

DRIVERS AND TEAMS CHAMPIONSHIP
World Rally Cup will feature a Drivers classification and a Team's classification.
So, every point counts for your team. If you race for one, do your best!
POINTS SYSTEM
Quite simple.
The top 15 drivers of each Rally Event (composed of stages) will obtain points for the overall standings!
- Most of the events will feature an "Autocross start".
This means that when you'll join the start gate, you'll see a countdown counter.
When it reaches zero, you can start for your timed run!
- Each driver will be called for their timed run on connection list order during the first stage
- 1 minute of gap between drivers calls.
- From the second stage onwards, the drivers will be called in reverse order based on their laptimes
- In the following championship events, the drivers will always be called on reverse championship order
- Rally is a matter of precision: be careful to not HIT objects around the track to avoid TIME PENALTIES
- Bonus Races will feature a normal grid and traditional racing. Bonus race lenght depends on location, but will always be a short affair (Max 15 minutes)
