2025 SEASON 2 PLANNING

05.06.2025 Category: Site news

This is the FINAL planning for 2025 Season 2 starting July 5th.

The planning is based on 2 objectives:
- to offer racing at a variety of tracks which have not been used in the past 2 or 3 seasons
- to avoid racing on the same track in different classes with the exception of Modified and Spec events in the same round which always use the same track.

The provisional Season 2 planning has been further optimized with member feedback and suggestions.
For specific classes like Rally-X there are only a limited number of tracks available and racing on the same tracks as the season before is unavoidable.

Every class more takes the participants away from another class. This is in real RC Racing and in VRC the same. I think Ingo means combining rally tracks and onroad tracks for same class... need to experiment with it, tracks and cars are defined for on- or offroad and have to match for events. Yes... Rally X with the existing tires... But IF MIXED is not possible ... 6 Races ONroad 6 Races OFFroad 6 Races ONroad and so on... Edited by author: 26.6.2025 18:46:24 GMT

Take a look to the Time trials where I have benchmarked a lot of them... From my point of view it's great fun Edited by author: 16.6.2025 12:16:01 GMT can take a look at 'Rally' option with rubber tires similar to GT3... and slightly lowered suspension From my point of view it is fun in the way it is! Only 1 technical change would be useful for easier setup: STEERING LESS than 23 - otherwise 23 and maximize to 75-80% on the transmitter works fine. So new minimum about 18 would be useful ... that's a quick change... less will not affect Rally-X Have released the updated Rally X chassis with 18 degr. min. steering angle Edited by author: 23.6.2025 14:46:09 GMT

Every class more takes the participants away from another class. This is in real RC Racing and in VRC the same. RallyX is already On-Road but there are no events but only TimeTrials! Alternating OnRoad-series with OffRoad-series enlarges things to the Onroad-guys and when alternating, maybe more participation on both types of track! Alternative why not RallyX-series basing on for example 50% offroad-tracks and 50% asphalt-/carpet- tracks??? By the way: If you try to filter in the event page, there cannot be found RallyX-events neither offroad nor onroad! Edited by author: 22.6.2025 15:27:29 GMT about the filtering, I see now. RallyX was not considered when this structure was designed 15 years ago, I added that class myself realizing that this new class would probably not fall into typical off-road class. Each car class is defined by a number of parameters, like on- and offroad, nitro/electric, 2wd and 4wd, scale and body style sportscar, sedan, buggy truggy etc. I just looked at it and noticed that we also have 'mixed' for surface type, never used that as we have also rally. I have to experiment with 'mixed' option, perhaps it turns out to be on- and off-road. No idea... I can't really oversee how this surface type 'mixed' affects event selections, rankings, track records etc., that would require very deep testing and analysis on beta platform, but there are hardly any beta testers who are willing to spend their time on such matters...
