Rally Control runs the queue: one car staged, started, finished and accepted, then the next. The standings update after every run.

Before you start

  • A rally event set up.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open Rally

    The setup view is Rally Control. Event Configuration on the right shows the rally's settings.

  2. 2

    Select drivers

    Session options set the start order: Selection order, Random or Reverse.

  3. 3

    Start the rally

    The live Rally Control opens with the queue on the left and the active driver in the middle.

  4. 4

    Stage the next car

    The panel shows STAGING with the driver's name and car.

  5. 5

    Start and finish

    With timing gates, the beams start and stop the clock by themselves.

  6. 6

    Accept the time

    Standings show P, Driver, Best Run and Gap. The Run Log keeps every run.

Tips

  • Race Control and the sidebar's Rally both open Rally Control.
  • Keys: Space start, Enter finish, S start sequence, N stage next, U unstage, F false start, D DNF, A accept, P TV view.
  • START SEQUENCE runs a 3-2-1-GO countdown and starts the clock on GO.
  • Reorder the queue with Shuffle, Reverse, Fastest or Slowest before the first run.
