Round 1 of the DSRL Rally Championship starts on Friday January 20th at 6:00 am EST/ 11:00 am GMT on the treacherous roads of Monte Carlo, Monaco. Stages 1-12 will be open for time submissions until January 27th 6:30 pm EST/ 11:30 pm GMT.   




These are the weather conditions forecast for Monte Carlo on the weekend of January 20th that will be implemented across the 12 stages:




Friday: stages 1-3
Saturday: stages 4-9
Sunday: stages 10-12

Here is the stage layout/order and service area/checkpoint details for round 1:





Also remember:

You must be part of the DSRL RC racenet league to participate in the championship rallies!
Search "THE DSRL RC" on dirt leagues or follow: https://www.dirtgame.com/uk/leagues/league/66869/the-dsrl-rc to join.

At each service point you can save to take a break and also make any adjustments to your car that might be required with the changing conditions.

Please take a screenshot of your final time on the leaderboard when you have finished the event as it may be required for backup results if Racenet has any unforeseen downtime for the final hours of the rally.
 
It is recommended to approach the early stages with extra caution as you might not make it to the end of the rally if you get too much damage to an important part of your vehicle early on. Keep in mind career engineers are off and you need to go 12 stages. This format encourages careful consistency over max attack, although the latter might be the only option in some circumstances for some nearing the end of the line.

If you have questions message Mcduff79/ EpilepticToast or post below to discuss the rally.


Good luck to all individual and team entrants in 2WD and 4WD!

Rally Monte Carlo is now open for stage runs!

I'm a member of the leauge but it doesn't seem to be live on my race net?

hmm that's unusual. What does it say under the leagues tab?

Was my mistake was in the dsrl rally leauge just sent a request for the correct one

all good I will accept now, was just about to ask if you had the right one

I'm in! Thanks.

Just over 4 days left to put your 12 stage times in for round 1 if you haven't already!
SS1 has seen some very close times between drivers in both 2WD and 4WD classes so far How will the rest of the stages treat the respective classes and drivers/teams hopes of making it to the end of Rally Monte Carlo victorious?...  

Wow! Was not expecting to see the classes mixing it with each other

The F2s were real giant killers in the 90's, especially on the tarmac stages.... It'll be a proper bare knuckle job at the end of the season, I'm sure!

All nearly came to an end yesterday evening on SS7

That was close! good save

WOW!!!! Almost looked like you meant to do that Murphy........

Wow! Better luck than me lol........ i died......Litterally died!

Oof! Many luck tokens were spent there!!!

With only 2 days remaining cars are starting to reach the final checkpoint, some even in one piece. With at least 3 known competitors stuck out in the hills of Monte Carlo it's still all to play for.... congrats to those who have finished so far, good luck to those still braving the elements!

Well my rally came to an abrupt end with a total writ-off crash with 4 stages to go. Pay heed to Aide's wise words in the reg thread. Don't get too cocky and crash like I did.

Ah unlucky micko
I took it quite gingerly as Monte is a tough old mistress, still came home with what loosely resembled a mk3 granada after a weekend at Matchams :/

LESS THAN 24 HOURS REMAINING!

Blimey ! How I managed to get that Scooby over finish on that scary 12th Stage is amazing , I'm not even sure if i  breathed the whole stage ! . . .An Asda shopping trolley has more parts on it than the Car now ! LOL Looking forward to next one ,as always !

*IMPORTANT* Round 1: Monte Carlo ends tonight at 11:30 pm GMT/ 6:30pm EST. If you haven't started or are yet to complete the rally at a checkpoint, make sure you finish all 12 stages tonight or you will be classed as a DNF for this round in the final results.

It was a beautiful climax to the rally though wasn't it Woody? I kept catching myself staring off into the scenery!!!

I know what ye mean mate ! Loved every painful second of it ! Hahaha !

..... and as the sun rises over a quiet, tranquil Monte Carlo hillside, drivers , codrivers, teams and rally fans are all gradually waking up, excited to see the outcome of their weeks efforts.
Fear not. You're rally co-ordinators will be working hard to put all rally closing items in place with official announcements being made post haste.
We would very much like to thank everyone who took part in the first round of our first ever rally championship. We hope we see you all again in Sweden, ready for an almighty snowball fight!

Well done to everyone who finished and to everyone who didn't, better luck in Sweden,
