RBR MF Cup - S2 - Round 5 Acropolis Rally

LOVE Jourdain!!!!! :D

Really? Wasn't expecting people to like them much.

The tracks list Is fine, except the French stages;Too smooth gravel for a rough rally like this...
Maybe more Japan tracks or a couple of USA or Finland-gravel- tracks would be closer to the acropolis feeling...Just my opinion.
Overall, the difficulty level Is been dramatically raised this season with the use of RSRBR mod.

Yeah this was a difficult event to select stages for. Not really any obvious choices so I tried to copy more of the mountainous forest stages than the roughness. I've only seen 1 person do a "Acropolis" stage and it wasn't rough at all.

Tight and twisty, adn lots of trees. Get it wrong and there will be damage.

Take away the trees (palms?) and this is reminiscent of Greece for me....

Ok cheers. I thought team-mates had to run the same car, but re-reading the forum posts, I can see that I'm not restricted :D I may switch to S2000 or N4 for the next round, I shall see.

Well, for the record, I didn't like many of these stages. Tanner was fine and Pikes Peak was ok (despite the awful pacenotes) but I haven't warmed to Jourdain. The French stages are nice but in gravel guise, they seem awful slippy and not as nice to drive as with tarmac. Canyon stage is very bumpy but I suppose that's what Acropolis could be argued to be and Pribram is quite a nice stage (in tarmac form at least) but I didn't get to drive it in this rally :(

Unfortunately since 2005 - If you are talking for the real thing - when It was moved to locations near Athens,
Acropolis lost Its roughness as most stages, were chosen so to be smoother and harmless for the cars... :(
