Edd Hartley - Sim Stuff

Welcome to the latest work in progress preview of my current stage project for Richard Burns Rally. I am very close to announcing which stage it is, but needless to say it is a former RAC Rally stage to bring another big chunk of British gravel goodness to RBR. Keep your eyes open on my YouTube Channel for a stage announcement very soon. Quite literally, the majority of the groundwork is now complete and I will move onto adding objects to the stage, but with thousands of trees and other objects over a 9km length, this will take me quite a while. Below are a small selection of preview screenshots of the work in progress. Any British Rally connoisseurs may even be able to recognise the stage from these screenshots, but don't worry if you can't. All will be revealed soon...

Here is a first look at my next stage in development for RBR. This stage is another former RAC Rally stage of approximately 9km. It's been a busy few months since the release of my Wythop stage for RBR. One of the main improvements I have been working on is to improve the stage surface variations on this stage compared to the relatively simple road texturing used on Wythop. I am pretty happy with the way things are looking so far. I will reveal which stage it is once the project is a little further on, but for now here are some first look screenshots.

My latest stage, Wythop II is now available to players using the Czech RBR plugin (rbr.onlineracing.cz) allowing everyone to experience falling off the side of the mountain in the opposite direction...

I am pleased to announce that the reverse direction of my Wythop stage for RBR, "Wythop II" has been released today with update v1.54.0 of Rally Sim Fans giving RSF drivers a whole new range of options for places to crash during important online rally events!

 A couple of weeks ago I made the trip to Wythop to watch the Malcolm Wilson Stages 2025. Thought it would be nice to see how the real location compared to the RBR version! Despite the different weather conditions and (slightly) different angle, I'd say it's a pretty good likeness overall.

With the release of the Wythop II stage for RBR expected on Rally Sim Fans with the next update I thought I would give a preview of the images used as splash screens on the final version. All ten different splash screens feature 4 cars and liveries that would have been used in the reverse direction as part of the RAC Rally between the 1970s and 1980s. Cars featured are: 1988, Mazda 323 Turbo GrpA 1984, Peugeot 205 T16 GrpB 1979, Ford Escort MkII Grp4 1977, Lancia Stratos Grp4 If you enjoy my RBR stages, please consider using the secure Paypal link below to send a small donation to support my work.
