On the iOpener website there is a very interesting article about an upcoming World Rally Championship simulator:

World Rally Championship's next game: Racing live against rally heroes

The next generation WRC computer game will allow players to 'compete' in live rallies", states ISC chairman Neil Duncanson in the April version of SportBusiness International magazine. ISC, the global promoter of the World Rally Championship (WRC), mentions WRC's ultimate goal as building up an online gaming world championship alongside the real thing.
ISC and the computer gaming industry believe the next step in gaming is this 'live' competition between gamers and real drivers, made possible through iOpener's patented technology.
ISC CEO Simon Long says: "Now we are a global promoter, we want this to be multi-platform, multi-publisher, multi-territory."
For Long and Duncanson the new game is part of WRC's broader efforts to appeal new fans beyond the hardcore enthusiastics. FIA's chairman Max Mosley has said the virtual champion will be honoured at the WRC's annual end-of-season awards ceremony in Monaco.

Last April we already brought you the first news about iOpener Media's beta testers recruitment for their Real Time Racing project.

The news about this technology where virtual racers can compete against the real drivers on the track in real time is now spreading amoung the simracing communities.

iOpener is still looking for the worlds best simracers to join their beta test program that's about to start soon. If you are interested in joining then you can sign up on the RTR website

Hi everyone

I just wanted to post this to help people out that are suffering stuttering with WRC 3 and nVidia graphics cards.

I was getting a lot of stuttering, with the 'wait for vsync' feature activated in the launcher. I turned it off, and as a result got smoother gameplay, only ruined by very noticeable screen tearing. To fix this leave the wait for vsync option switched off and open your NVIDIA Control Panel.

Go to: 3D Settings: Manage 3D settings: click the the tab 'Program Settings' and select 'WRC3 (wrc3.exe)' and scroll to the bottom to Vertical Sync. Select ON, and then save by clicking one of the tabs below Manage 3D Settings.

I'm not sure about how well adaptive will work but if you do want to try it, please tell us your results. I haven't tried it because I only get the occasional, missed frame and I generally dont trust automated functions like this on games.
 
This one really surprised me, and a big improvement on the previous year and with the mod it just made it sublime...
As much as i love RBR, the effort involved to install it all for the amount i drive it was to much for me.
And then I used the rally school more than anything.
So now i just have the basic RBR install just for the school with the basic mods to get it to work
And WRC3 with the mod is more than good enough to get my rally fix with..
wont need a new rally game for a long while...:)
