@@МихаилПономаренко-щ3ы It's all about the amount of risk you want to take, or how realistic you want your racing. If you think you can successfully slam on the brakes and work your way up through the gears, great. If you think it's a bit strange for cars to do that, the Redline rules put the risk towards the end of your turn, rather than the start. Subtle change, but worth experimenting with.

@@JulioR23 Appropriately coloured Sharpies - or any other brand of pen I suppose. Much quicker than painting them too.

@MattElliottGSY I tried this and some colors pop out better than others. Yours look better than mine too! I'm jealous haha. I love your videos btw. Keep at it! Maybe some day I'll challenge you!

The RX rulebook has your answer there, couldn't be more clearer, pg 9, "These are not to be confused with Corners which also appear on some fork tiles", so the tile you used on the long course before the joker is a corner, but the one on the short course isn't. I think to treat the junctions as corners is perhaps more obvious than not (I mean, I default to doing so in my head, it's right there on video), so I wouldn't be surprised if we collectively end up doing so anyway. It wouldn't be the first ruling we've ignored or changed. The games this time out were Dirt Rally and Circuit Superstars. Plays a little like art of rally, but easier to get into.

@@MattElliottGSY forks, dangit, I looked for your use of "junctions," and thought of "intersections," but not "forks." Thanks for the clarification. I also neglected to check the RX rules, doh! I still don't quite get the language used, as they say, "Spaces on a Fork tile behave just like normal spaces with the following exceptions: SPACES WITH A SPEED LIMIT These follow exactly the same rules for Speed Limits as described in the main rulebook." They hardly clear things up with this disclaimer, "These are not to be confused with Corners which also appear on some fork tiles." I love the simplicity of treating a space with restrictions as a "corner." Anyhow, kudos as always on creating such enjoyable content!

@@JoachimErdtman That use of 'normal spaces' puts me in the mindset of 'not corners', and it's not unusual for normal spaces that aren't corners to have speed limits, even in GT when you cross a sharp corner limit for example, but visually, yeah, they absolutely look like corners. The rules just can't seem to win sometimes. Unified redfined rock solid rulebooks when, I wonder? It's just occurred to me, since mentioning that there wasn't a corner on your short course, that I probably determined turn order 'wrong' here and there in that race as well. Yet more proof that it's easy to go wrong and that it makes little difference if you do, so long as you're consistent.

Thanks. Do extend that thumb up to the community who lead me down these rabbit holes in the first place.

The Joy of it now being available on BoardGameArena if you’re a subscriber or finding one to host so you can join. I can’t talk as I haven’t tried it on BGA yet nor played for a good while

@@SteveBlackwell-s3j Be sure to report the bugs - I don't quite think it's in a state to show off, but it's close.

You could. I think you'd end up pulliing more damage tokens if you use Gear cards vs dashboard tables, but the idea is to not crash in the first place... There's no wrong way to play. If it makes sense to you and your opponents, go for it.

Yes :) i was thinking to use the rally tyre dashboard instead of the Rx . That's why i've asked . Thx for your reply :)

Regular old Sharpies. I think the Yellow or Orange (or both) might have come from a different brand, but there's nothing more to it than that.

DrWorm addressed it with a couple of extra sentences in version 2.1 of his NPCs. Pick a dice pool, and if you ever need to use a different colour coast die, swap them in, rolling any non-hazard results to confirm whether they're still non-hazards or not.

That's Swedish Classics GP (2005), followed by Gravel (2018), and I think it's Dirt Rally 2.0 (2019) making an appearance at the end as well. All PC.

@@MattElliottGSY Thanks!

Partly to check more rulesets out, and partly to play to a rulesets strengths: DCs are quick and simple, allowing you to get up and running with a full set of cars in no time, but they just don't work in rallying. NPCs work in both rallying and circuit racing, but now you have to play multihanded with more decisions to be made, and your games take longer. Depends what I want to get out of my opponents on the day, I suppose - another part of the puzzle to solve, or a character to compete with.

@@MattElliottGSY cool, thanks for the reply. I love your Shakedown videos!

Thanks. They're the ones that come with Rallyman, just with blobs of paint on, nothing more.

@@MattElliottGSY oh wow nice one

Merci beaucoup

Well the good news is that my time will be easy to beat, so have fun and show us how the locals do it.

If the BoardGameGeek monthly challenges are any indication, not as competitive as you'd think. I can see a route through this stage that would result in just over 2 minutes, should your rolls go flawlessly, but whether that's the best route to take, I don't know. But yes, it's not all about crashing, I've got some 'proper stuff' in the idea pipeline.

Thanks. The NPC rolled well that turn and could have finished in Gear 4, in a space which gave it turn order, in a place where I'd never be able to overtake him.
