Rally Racing Online: Japan
[ July 7th, 2008 ] By: Charles Smith Posted in » Ramblings
The past few weeks were riddled with practice sessions in a rally racing video game called Richard Burns Rally. Why was I practicing? Because I’ve positioned myself to possibly take 3rd place overall in the Rally Sim League’s RBR Rally.
This week I am racing Rally Japan, which is the sixth and final rally of this season. It is the most technical rally in the lineup. It has the slickest off-road surface so having an off or going wide through a turn has a huge effect on the overall stage time when compared to all the other rallies we have seen this season. It also has the longest and highest speed stage in the series: Nokier. And that 7:30-8minute+ stage is driven twice, once forward and once backward.
So with 1 point separating me and ‘VMethos’ I have to place the best I’ve ever placed on the hardest rally. It is also impossible for me or VMethos to get 2nd place as 1st and 2nd placers have gained more than 17 points on 3rd and 4th. However the race for 1st overall is still raging strong between Wild Swede and Turbo. This season of rally has come down to a nail biting finish.
Hopefully I can sneak past VMethos and place on the podium my first ever season with this game. More updates as they come, check back later.
