American Rally Team Forming [17-02-2010 | DH | Comments (2) ]
A group of North American Based Sim Racers enjoying the Richard Burns Rally Simulation with RSRBR 2010 are forming a Team/Stable to compete in the Official Rally Events hosted by RallyeSim.Com. We are looking to add Rally Drivers from North America; including Canada, USA and Mexico that might be interested in joining our cause. Our team is called the "Press on Regardless" Rally Team, with our team motto based on the historic 1972 accomplishments of Gene Henderson and co-driver Ken Pogue; when they surprised the world by winning the F.I.A.-sanctioned Press On Regardless rally in 1972 against European factory teams.

We are doing this in the spirit of fun. Nobody is taking ourselves too seriously, its all about enjoying a great PC Rally Sim in Richard Burns that has been modded to a great state with the RSR2010 mod.

To join our team and participate with us as we Rally simply visit our team forum and website; which is kindly hosted by Champion Motorsrports at https://www.cmsracing.com. Upon registering at the website simply post in the new member area that you are interested in rallying with us.

RBR Trackbuilding Now Possible [13-03-2007 | JZ | Comments (11) ]
With a huge amount of thanks to black f. I am thrilled to announce that https://www.bobstrackbuilder.net will be supporting the creation of tracks for Richard Burns Rally.

Never did I imagine it possible but remarkably with just a few hours effort on my behalf under the instruction of black f. we've been able to produce a beta test track in RBR.

It'll be some time yet before we iron out the issues and create an easy to use interface ... but hey ... I can't stop smiling because this is a dream come true!!

edit: Only road and walls so far are modelled.

No trees or houses are supported either at this stage. Trees will likely come in 2-3 months.

Houses or anything more complex in shape will best be created in another application, BTB will eventually have an import capability whereby you can load and position (but not edit) your own 3d Max / Direct X objects ... but that's along way off.

RBR Source Code Aquired by Sim Racers [01-04-2006 | JZ | Comments (47) ]
On friday march 31 the the source code for richard burns rally was aquired by the swedish sim racers foundation.

The source code was previously owned by Gizmondo Europe Ltd, which was declared bankrupt earlier this year, and has now been purchased from the bankruptcy estate. The price of the sale was undisclosed. President of the SSRF, Nicklas Karlsson says, in a statement that "When we read about the bankruptcy of Gizmondo, we felt that this was a great opportunity to aquire the source code for the RBR project, and make it available to sim racers all over the world". According to the statement
Kangaroo, the track editor used to create the tracks for RBR, will be the first application to be released. Later on the whole source code for RBR will be made availabe to the public, but not before the physics component has been replaced. Nicklas Karlsson continues "RBR is very highly regarded in the sim community, however some aspects of the code are not up to the standards of the newly released sims, this is why we have chosen to replace the physics component.
