RD Rally Championship Season 8 - General Discussion

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

I've requested to join the RDRC league as per the 'how to drive online' thread, can someone (Ole?) confirm I've done it right? My experience with Dirt online is basically zero, hence why I'd like a confirmation
Also, will there be warmup events to test things out?

All good You should see the RDRC PC when visiting your "league" tab in-game now No events on it, but you'll be able to see it.

At least on PC there will be events on the open for all people RaceNet League Not sure about making another League for consoles, as we don't know the amount of people yet.
It will be shakedown-style events, with short stages and no more than 2-3. Maybe even the same stage repeated. Not sure yet
I'm sporadically setting up events on that open page - do you want me to just set up some random events now as well?

The rallies run for a week, it starts the 23rd, and ends the sunday that week. You can drive whenever it pleases you, so I don't see why you'd be unable to participate in the first rally

I see! Thank you . The internet company gave me the 25th as the date, with a give or take of 2 days. Knowing the Netherlands, this probably means "add 2 days" , and I thought I had read somewhere you had 3 days to complete the round, clearly I got that wrong. .

You made me check the rules again ^^, But ye, it's over the whole week, so even if the Netherlands-time is just like Norwegian-time, you should be able to do round 1

Hi, anyone knows how can I see stage times of friends? As I have tested with some and for them and me we see our names but blank for time.
The overall leaderboard is ok

It's a bit bugged. It often happens that your own time doesn't get uploaded to the leaderboard either.

Anything I can do?
Both our times are on the overall leaderboard. Do I have to friend him on racenet codemaster also? I have linked my steam account there

That might help. I have RaceNet friends that doesn't show up, and Steam-only friends that shows up. :/

Mr/Mrs "zefe" and "tbk7". You have both applied to the RDRC PC - league, but have not signed up here yet. You will not be accepted in to the league before the sign up is done
The same goes for "thelegand8" on the RDRC PS4 - league - Spotted!

Yes,I´m registered (Toni Vidal #102) but I think I´ve put a wrong Racenet name in my sign up registration. That´s the reason because you don´t see me in the registrations.
I´m going to correct it now. Sorry for this misunderstanding....

Ah, great stuff! Then I'll accept you The problem with giving the wrong RaceNet name, and getting admitted by a mistake, is that you won't show up on the results ^^, That's why we try to filter out people!

Of course, I understand.I hope now it´s everything ok.
Thanks @Ole Marius Myrvold

Also something to look out for is the possibility of a driver changing their Steam name and this change getting propagated into Racenet. I am not sure if this is only for people that used Steam authentication to create Racenet accounts, or if it is true for any driver with their Steam account linked to Racenet. (Might even be true for console drivers as well)

Long story short, I have seen it happen before and have considered moving to using the internal Racenet ID for drivers to tie things together on the season management end.

In my particular case, the issue was that I signed up for a few years ago on RaceNet and barely used it, and now didn´t remember the login, and I had to reset the password and logged in with my Steam user, and maybe that caused my confusion. In any case, now I have the right one.

The current sign-ups, do they include the consoles?

Yup

 

[DoyleeUK]

It's nice to see some familiar names in the sign ups so far. Let's hope we get a few more 2WD entries over the next month and we should be on to a cracking championship!

 

[Ole Marius Myrvold]

@DoyleeUK There will at least be one more 2WD entry. If it is 2WD+ or - I don't know yet ;P

 

[Jan Larsen]

I'm sporadically setting up events on that open page - do you want me to just set up some random events now as well?

That'd be perfect to test out the joining process and connection, and to get some practice aswell

 

[bogani]

I'm leaning towards 2wd also to balance the field a bit.

The 2wd classes aren't split I guess? The 60's cars feel a bit underpowered compared to the 70's
