Aye! This week's season is starting this evening! (or more like tomorrow morning thanks to dumb old myself who had to make the last event end @23:smth)

This week we have 2 events in total:
1) Legendary Group-B 4WD and RWD cars (pick your poison)
- Event can be run during time-period: 15/05/2017 20:15 - 18/05/2017 20:45
- 10 stages with service-points and checkpoints every other stage

2) 2010s 4WD rally cars class
- Event can be run during time-period: 18/05/2017 22:00 - 21/05/2017 19:45
- 10 stages with service-points and checkpoints every other stage

Happy hunting and drive safe!

Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what does "checkpoints every other stage" mean?

Quoting: EhvisPardon my lack of knowledge, but what does "checkpoints every other stage" mean?
If my understanding of it is correct, then it means that checkpoints are essentially parts where you can quit and then continue the rally later on. Without that option, you would have to do all 10 stages in one sitting but some of us might not have the time to do so.

I hope that's the correct explanation and not very confusing. :)

Liam and inlinuxdude accepted. You've still got a few hours to do the warm-up event, so get driving!

Quoting: GuestI can hear Liam playing this, and I dont think he is driving safe! Tons of yelling the word "No" over and over again!
Sounds like he's doing just fine. Tell us when he starts yelling obscenities and throwing hardware.

Damn that night race was difficult...when I had no lights on the last section <_<

I think it's time for me to get some free space on my HDD and finally install Dirt Rally. Definetly want to join the league, if I have enough time :D

16 penguins have joined so far. Looks like we're getting a decent league going. But the more the merrier, keep sending those requests people!

PS: I'm a teensy bit jealous of our Estonian neighbours with their fancy wheel controllers...

so the final results of the pre-event (i doubt someone will sqeeze a times in with just 35 min to go)

Awful time with a bunch of penalties at the stages, probably I will be the last in the event this time around.

I'm still trying the stages and cars. Didn't think it would be a good idea to have the league be my first attempt. :S:
inlinuxdude 15 May 2017
I picked 4wd, which I hadn't driven before.. bad choice - I killed it dead halfway through the series..
Kallestofeles 16 May 2017
Well, phuk Monty... phuk it up the 4$$.
Was doing 30km/h slowly over a barrier and the game called it totalled. Well, that's the end of my run. :|

Been there, done that. :(

This is why I suggested shorter events if you remember. The likelihood of all of us making it through ten stages – including ones in Monaco – without totaling our cars is slim. Shorter events should be an effective salt-deterrent. I think events of six stages every three days or so is a good balance. But we can just do that next week.

Yeah please don't do massively long events, some of us are busy too you know ;)

When does it officially start?

Already did. And I totaled my Lancia in the last damn stage. :(
