He has the best writeups in the business. With the soul of an 80’s curry cup commentator, I live for these summaries.

I’m delighted with the podium finish! I’ve never put in so much effort into playing Dirt until I joined these events. I’ve got a new found love for the game and have learned a ton in the process. Thanks for hosting this Greg!

Since I now have an Xbox, and Dirt Rally 2.0 is included on Game Pass, it was the first thing I installed. I am now ready to join the championship and bring down the average!

Was thinking about that recently too. Will see if I can set something up to start next week. Thinking different car class from old to new for each event - should be interesting.

Yeah, that sounds cool. A journey through the groups. Throw in some special stages, rally cross, and remove the night stages

Thanks to @Beo’s prompting, I’ve eventually got round to setting up a new Dirt Rally 2.0 Championship Season for us. Yes, it’s time to get dirty again!
Same basic format as our full season last year - 12 events each running for 2 weeks from just after midnight on Sunday. Each event has 12 stages, Unexpected Events are active, all Assists are allowed, Hardcore Damage and Forced Cockpit Cameras are disabled.
I’ve kept things simple this time and let the game auto generate the stages, conditions, and surface deg levels. The randomiser is well gentle so there’ll be no wet stages and no night stages this season. And plenty of Service Stops along the way too. Opportunity for the aliens to set some super fast times and smash global leaderboards.
My only input into the season structure was to select the event location to make sure none were repeated, and then to allocate a car class to each event. We start with the classics and gradually work through to the more modern cars.
Here’s an overview of the season and the 12 events:
Round 1 is Monte Carlo with the Historic Rally H1 (FWD) cars beginning this coming Sunday, 1 May. (But I’ll make a separate post for it shortly with the stages and car list.)
Let’s get dirty!
This is an open invitation to all the existing members of the MEW Dirt Rally Club - you should see the Championship appearing in your game automatically. Jump in whenever you’d like, whether it’s for the full season or just for a stage or two if you’d like.
Anyone not yet a Club Member who wants to join in is also more than welcome. Visit the Club, sign in with a RaceNet/CodeMasters account, Request to Join, and let me know here that you’ve applied. Or send me your account name and I’ll try sending you an Invitation to Join. The Club is cross-platform enabled so you can take part in our events regardless of the platform you drive on.
