Yeah my guess Paddy is you didn't download and install the BTB stages packs. Also, although I'm not 100% clued up on 2010 version, the BTB stages will appear in a stage pack (like New Stages, etc) not the BTB tab.
And Neverknow, thanks for the .7z tip, I tried something the other night with my RSRBR09 and it didn't work. That was probably why.

But feel free to drive what you like :D
I got Pikes Peak working by installing separately. It works fine now. And by updating RSRBR, I know have all the car categories. Thanks for the help guys :)
My 09 focus is working fine. I haven't had an issue with stalling yet .Quote:

I have failed to finish the rally. Here is my report:
Well, it's been a while since I've competed so I expected to be rusty. Also, I never before used the RSRBR program. I did plenty of testing before hand. I tried out different cars and stages to get a feel for everything, though the Focus WRC08 was still relatively new to me.
The rally itself was full of mistakes but I expected to be a little jittery on the stages. I fell down a gorge at the end of Tanner (SS1) so getting help cost me over half a minute. Pikes Peak was mostly OK except the co-driver fails to use the distance notes. Therefore, at times I broke way too early for corners and at other times, overshot them. Jourdain was a sound enough run.
Leg 2 was worse. I got over half way through Joux Plane and I was very impressed with the car and my pace. It could have been a fairly respectable time, I'm sure. But I got caught out at a corner and hit the wooden barriers guarding the outside. My engine was instantly gone and had to retire. SuperRally meant I could take part on the Canyon, but that was a very messy run. It seemed like there was no grip and Joux Verte was similar though I reckon it was still my best stage of the rally.
The final leg unfortunately ended it all. Joux Plane caught me out again (albeit in reverse mode this time) as a crash put the engine out of action. The roads were very bad and the car seemed to understeer a lot in the slightly foggy conditions. I was able to start the next stage under SuperRally but suffered a spin early on which really frustrated me. The conditions (although selected as 'Good') seemed to be quite dark and misty (reminiscent of the previous stage) but I presume that this was the nature of the track. Regardless, a strong push to make up for lost time did me no favours as I lost control on a fast, narrow section and clattered a tree. Rally over.
In conclusion, I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't bring the car home as it would have been nice to score some points for myself and the team first time out. But, even so, it's a learning experience and hopefully, with a few more rallies in this series under my belt, I can make a more serious approach to the African championship which will be running soon. I also prefer driving S2000 and N4 cars to WRC so I will use this championship as a learning exercise. That's not saying I won't be trying to get good results though! :D
Best of luck to the rest of you :up:
Good report Paddy! :up:
See past rallies-I've found a steep learning curve with this game...
Great to have you on board....
Thanks tannat. It's good to be back.Quote:

Paddy, feel free to enter S2000 or N4 cars rather if you want. I'm in S2000 for the rest of the season and I think when Sperger makes apperances he'll also be in S2000, it's not restricted to WRC cars.
Entry list so far, I might break the magic 10 entries by the end of the year...
