5th event LATVIA

Hello and welcome to the fifth and final event of RBR.LV Virtual Rally Cup - Latvia! This time it will take place in Riga - the legendary Bikernieki racetrack. Following the real Minirally Latvia, the surface type is mostly tarmac mixed with a little bit of gravel. Judging by the weather conditions, the track will be both very fast and slippery so the tire choice will be critical for this event! Looking at the overall results, all of the podium spots are available for the competitors to claim, so we’ll be looking forward for tight battles till the last stage kilometers. We hope that you’ll enjoy the race and wish you the best of luck and see you at the finish line.

2nd round of RBR.LV Virtual Rally Cup “Gulbis”

2nd rally of RBR.LV Virtual Rally cup has concluded a while back, so let’s look at the events that took place around (virtual) Gulbene, Latvia.

This time the weather was good for both drivers and spectators, so the rain boots were left at home and competitors had a dry road conditions throughout the stages. The organisers love to include some very tricky stages this season, and Zakakajas was not an exception with the narrow bends and branches sticking out on the road, followed by rocks right in the apexes. Fun times.  Tirza stage surface didn’t hold up to the tires and already on the first loop there were deep and dangerous potholes. Everyone’s favourite Garsa stage let everyone relax a little bit, before going back to the second loop. Now about the competition itself.

Lithuanian driver Gylys Arunas takes a victory in 1st event

The first RBR.LV Virtual rally cup “Rauna 2020” has been finished!

The rally closely followed real world Minirally Rauna 2020 so very fast and flowing stages were chosen by the organisers. Yet all of them had some tricky corners, so driver - codriver trust was essential in this rally. 

Even though the skies were cloudy, the first part of stages were driven on a dry surface but in the second time around them the rain made the road conditions much more tricky.

1st event Rauna

RBR.LV Virtual Rally Cup tournament #1 is OPEN! The rally will consist of 6 stages with a total distance of 40 kilometers.

Like the real Latvian Minirally “Rauna”, also for this rally organizers have chosen very fast and flowing stages, with loads of blind corners which definitely will be a challenge to all of the drivers! Weather forecast shows that there might be some rain showers in the afternoon so drivers and rally fans should think wisely about their “footwear”! 

This season there will be another way of competing - team competition. All drivers who have registered their team until the start of this rally, can earn points in all of the rallies this season. Team consists of up to three drivers and driver change (one driver) is allowed once in the season. Those who did not make the team registration - it will be available again after the first rally is over. 

So far we have a total of 5 teams, 2 of those are our Braliukai - Lithuanian teams!
