[TWI-Only] [OOC] Overland Vehicles Ahnslen Rally '24

Postby Ainslie » Sun Dec 31, 2023 3:26 pm

Overland Vehicles Ahnslen Rally Championship 2024

Image


Applications close Monday 8 January 9:00pm UTC +0


This roleplay is for members of THE WESTERN ISLES ONLY. If you are not on the map, you cannot participate in this roleplay. However, if you are about to come onto the map feel free to speak up in the OOC thread (this one) but please stay out of the IC thread until you become a member.


Intro



Gday Islanders! So, back in 2022 I ran this competition for its second time and I completely missed the usual window. Similarly to last time, there's snow stages (and its delayed again) but due to lets say track conditions there was a need to wait until January for repairs to take place.

The ground rules and what's going on is mainly what happened last year so there doesn't really seem to be a reason to not just copy paste that. If you competed last year, nothing's changed - if you haven't competed so far in this, please read the below and fill in the application if you wish to compete.

Essentially, what will happen is that you’ll submit an application and then the team or teams you send will compete in three different races:

  • Sapphire Coast Rally - a 135km race made up of multiple stages where racers will have to navigate the winding and rugged landscape of Ainslie's far north. Starting at Denarow, racers will snake up into the nearby escarpment before making the tricky descent back down to the coast.
  • Dustbowl Classic - for the first time in Ahnslen Rally Championship history, Arlanah hosts an event. Across 150km, racers will traverse a quick and flat multi-stage course with sharp turns deep in the Ahnslen arid zone.
  • Venterra Rally - the Rally Championship moves away from its heartland to an exciting new 120km multi-stage course deep in the Wesland Ranges. The steepness and unpredictability of conditions meets the heavy snow and icy conditions that will present a great challenge to drivers as they vie for victory in this final stage of the Ainslie Rally championship.



Application


Here is the application you will need to fill out and post as a reply in the thread below if you would like to join:
Code: Select all
[list]
[*] [b]Name of team (usually two names per team, there is a maximum of 2-3 duos per nation):[/b]
[*] [b]Car (you can provide an image here if you’ve got one, otherwise just name it and if there’s any notable features to it - do this for each team).[/b]
[*] [b]Skill level (please be realistic) out of 100:[/b]
[*] [b]Any other important pieces of information?[/b]
[*] [b]Are you keen for any scandals or anything to go horribly wrong with your team?[/b]
[/list]


Concluding Remarks


I can see each of these events taking 2-4 days and being separated by about a week. I’ll give you dates when we’ve got a better picture of how many people are joining and the sort of interest levels you all have in this.

As always, this thread is for nations that are a part of The Western Isles ONLY and only nations that are on the region’s map will be able to participate in the tournament in-character.

The opening post to this thread (what you're reading now) will be updated with all the relevant and important information as it is finalised.



This roleplay is for members/nations on the map of The Western Isles only.

  • Name of team (usually two names per team, there is a maximum of 2-3 duos per nation): Taxli Malteco / Iwanoo Sarashai
  • Car (you can provide an image here if you’ve got one, otherwise just name it and if there’s any notable features to it - do this for each team). Exon SSM-12
  • Skill level (please be realistic) out of 100: 22
  • Any other important pieces of information? These two guys come from Nyberg and they're actually fairly mentally skilled pilots... that run in a sub-par Tricklandian "rally" car, with little proper training due to tracks just sucking, in disrepair for ages. Facing it straight, Tricklandia has little to no history of winning car races and is an unlikely candidate for victory too.
  • Are you keen for any scandals or anything to go horribly wrong with your team? Other than being the laughing stock of the championship... I don't have any specific scandals in mind. If anything feels appropriate, though, go for it. I am green-lighting the possibility of bad stuff.

Only one team because the rest of 'em just can't be seen outside of Tricklandia.

Super lazy; going to repost from last year (again): but will add some new graphics for the new cars later.

  • Name of team: Rowlands GPR;
    Team #1 Thorfin Lyst (M) / Fintan Marsden (M)
  • Car: Rowlands Inspire GR 1
    [img]tba[/img]
    Livery to be painted
  • Skill level (please be realistic) out of 100: 79
  • Any other important pieces of information?: Thorfin Lyst is a recovering alcoholic who suffered at the hands of the press; won large settlement after it was revealed his drinking was caused after years of abuse from his now ex-wife. Used settlement to turn his life around and get back into racing. Duo are best friends since university and have raced together throughout their respective careers.
  • Are you keen for any scandals or anything to go horribly wrong with your team?: Thorfin Lyst rumoured to be still drinking, but rumours are largely unfounded - sometimes spurred on by ex-wife trying to get her own back / get him to take her back. #loveiscomplicated

  • Name of team: Rowlands GPR;
    Team #2 Roseen More (F) / Bahey Corkish (TG M>F)
  • Car: Rowlands Inspire GR 1
    [img]tba[/img]
    Livery to be painted
  • Skill level (please be realistic) out of 100: 88
  • Any other important pieces of information?: Roseen More is the niece of former Strategos Albinus Rector, donates winnings to foundation set up in his honour. Bahey Corkish first Trans-Gender co-driver in Alteran rally history.
  • Are you keen for any scandals or anything to go horribly wrong with your team?: Despite Bahey Corkish's obvious talent, some elements of the public consider her a 'trans-pride token' and PR stunt carried out by Rowlands. Whilst this may be true to some extent, Bahey is an extremely talented driver and considers that sort of attention as a positive sign that she's making a positive change.

  • Name of team: Felix Racing;
    Team #1 Moleyn Brech (M) / Hane Wright (M)
  • Car: Felix EX
    [img]tba[/img]
    Livery to be painted
  • Skill level (please be realistic) out of 100: 75
  • Any other important pieces of information?: The Felix EX is a modification of a new, mid-sized SUV; modified for Rally stages. Even though this new car ticks all the boxes, it's an unproven design in the world of rally championships.
  • Are you keen for any scandals or anything to go horribly wrong with your team?: Felix has been seriously underfunding the team as of late. Despite this, their good equipment and a hardworking team of engineers and drivers take pride in their under-dog rankings; aiming to take on the 'corporate giants' Rowlands. Felix EX isn't going to roll over this year, but it's larger size may cause acceleration issues ...

Name of team: Kapahua Z. Pihuimeh / Quiqui Cenohuutl
  • Car: 2003 Zontemnon Totzuu
  • Skill level out of 100: 83
  • Any other important pieces of information? Pihuimeh is a racing veteran, hailing from the rural area of north-west Payotlan Partition, from the small town of Pecek, later moving to the national capital Xolxanko City. His recently gained racing partner, Quiqui Cenohuutl, has been under his wing for over a year now, and he sees her like the daughter he never had. Hailing from the island metropolis of Papaloxtlan, Zanquiuu Partition; Cenohuutl was trained to become a racer from a young age. She is the second youngest professional racer in Salimanese history, being only 22 years old. The two of them return from last year with even more experience.



Name of team: Xexe Almanazko / Leslie Ocitzapakualin
  • Car: 2021 Zontemnon Kayitzin
  • Skill level out of 100: 72
  • Any other important pieces of information? Hailing from the city of Huaktzukuilko, Valinnia; Xexe Almanazko is the daughter of a long-time rally-racing veteran who recently retired. Not following in the footsteps of her father's habit of only driving cars made before seatbelts were made mandatory, she drives a 2021 Zontemnon Kayitzin, one of the more recent Zontemnon models used for rally racing. She named the car Cilmi Jr., after the 40-year-old Car of Theseus that her father drove that was more upgrades and tune-ups than original model. Her co-driver, Leslie, is a fairly experienced racer was her father's former co-driver, and he likes Xexe a lot more than her father.

Are you keen for any scandals or anything to go horribly wrong with your teams? sure I don't see why not

I'm not fully sure yet. I've got other priorities with NS at the moment, so consider this more an EOI thread than anything with a deadline now until I decide to launch the championship.
