How to take part in a live rally?
A live rally works exactly like a real rally,so we need to respect the input timing of the special stages and the service parks input / output. Normally in a live rally the RoadBook is exposed, for all, at 21:00 (Italian time) and start, for everyone, at 21:15. Then, having to meet times as in real rally, you will have a minute to start the stage to not get the penalty.Example:
-Exposure road book hours 21:00:00
-Departure first stage 21:15:00
-Time limit for entering first stage 21:15:59
Beyond this time limit as in a real rally, it will begin to pay penalties in minutes charged on the total of the race. A tip is to not rush to click to enter the stage, but wait a few seconds (we have 59 seconds available);pay attention also to not have too much hurry and enter the stage before 21:15:00 since, as in a real competition, you can still get a penalty imposed in minutes.Same thing, of course, for all the timed sections of the road book, including even the service parks (which also have to respect an exit zone, which usually coincides with the time of entry to the next stage).To facilitate the task of keeping under control the input timing of stages and input / output of service parks there is, in the main page of the rally, a stopwatch which is in countdown mode and in the minutes before the entry time is red. This becomes green in the minute when the stage start, after which, past the minute, stopwatch remains progressive, but returns to be red.SUMMARIZE:
1. Check on the calendar of the Home the departure time of the rally, and, very important, subscribe in the site when the race had limitations for car or classes, because in this case once the road book is exposed we will not have the opportunity to enter the race. So it's always best to check the calendar a few days before the start (for these particular rally, if we do not sign up, you do not see them in the list of races in the mod page ONLINE RACES)
2. From the main page of the mod select RACES ONLINE and we get to the page with the list of rallies in which we can participate. Then we select the game that interests us (photo 1)
3. After selecting class and car we reach the first important page of a live race, the road-book page, where we can load the car set, select the tires depending on the type of fund, set up and turn on the lights, control entry list etc. etc. But above all to control the schedule of special stages, the assistance and the stepwatch (photo 2)
4. By now, to prepare for the race, we have 15 minutes in which we will upload the set, we mount the appropriate tires to the bottom of the special stages, we mount and we will light the lights in the event of night stages and keep under control the clock waiting for the green to get into the stage (photo 2/5)
5. Green Stopwatch now we have 59 "to press GO (I recommend not to hurry and wait A few seconds) (photo 3)
6. Be careful because if you make a mistake you will pay a penalty (photo 4) in this case we have breached the 59 "and entered in the stage the following minute, so we have the red stopwatch and no longer in countdown mode
