I will get to promoting the upcoming Delta Mini Rally Series soon, I want to get the DiRT thread tidied up before but my powers as mod aren't there so I can't get cleaning & sorting the thread.
In order to run 2 championships together effectively, I'm disbanding the Delta RallyChamp club & creating the club Delta Rally 1 with the Delta Online club becoming a club for holding drivers between championships. Delta Rally 1 will be the club used for all DiRT championships, a second club (Delta Rally 2) may be created to host support series like the Delta R2 Trophy & Delta Historic Rally Championship but plans now are to run the Delta Rally 1 club as the championship club.
The Delta Mini Rally Series will be held on the Delta Online club with Delta Rally 1 hosting the Powys Forest Rally event from November 4th to 11th, the Retro Rally Championship will be held on Delta Rally 1.
noob question ? is there a way to practice the stages ?? or do you just practice on the rally
On DiRT 4, the stages are generated & are not pre-created stages so practice isn't really an option....however....lucky for those in the DMRS, I have decided to use the pre-created Career stages, I'll create a list of stages for all 3 rounds.

So we are just waiting for it to start right in 3 day or so
The championship starts on Sunday at 9pm BST but the stages are pre-created for Career mode so they can be accessed in Freeplay rally when creating a rally by pressing X (or Square on PS I think) for More Options then selecting Load Stage & the stages are there, it just may involve a little searching. Despite being auto-generate, every stage has similar sections because they're made up of a combination tiles & there isn't that many combos. I'm not a fan of the generated stages so I'll be using the pre-created Career stages a lot more.
The Delta Mini Rally Series wraps up tonight at 9pm BST & with it finishes the competitive rally season on Delta Online Racing. There will be some standalone rallies before Christmas such as Delta Rally Australia, Rally of the 1000 Lakes, Great Lakes Rally & the yet to be name tarmac rallies but the championships & series will wrap up tonight & will return on January 6th with the start of the Retro Rally Championship & Delta Historic Rally Championship. Although the numbers for all 4 DiRT series were low compared to other Delta series, I'm happy with the interest that started to appear around the DRC Season 2 & R2 Trophy, my goal is not to take players away from Forza or PC2 but to get those players to step out of the their comfort zone in the race cars & step into the rally cars to experience the unpredictability that is rallying.

I want to say thank you to all the guys that have taken part in championships & events this year regardless if it was a full series or just 1 stage, the Delta Online DiRT 4 club now has 19 members & hopefully in 2019 we will see all 19 setting times in the same event. Rallying on Delta is growing & hopefully one day Delta won't just be a well known Forza forum but a well known DiRT forum too.
Just a heads up: I will be restructuring how DiRT championships & events are run through clubs so I will be disbanding the Delta Online, DWRT Covert Test & Delta Rally 1 clubs and creating clubs for each of the planned series in 2019 & will post the links to each in due time. There will also be a test club for testing any ideas that may become potential championships & I will be sending that link out to drivers I would like to get feedback from.
Also I'm thinking of launching a Twitter account for Delta rally to help promote stuff but not 100% sure if it'll happen yet.

I apologize for the newbie question but Im just curious how this series runs. Do you tell us what race to run and we run the stages when we can or is it an organized start like Super Minis, Lambos, etc...
The eSim Rally on Reddit is like the one example I mentioned. They say to do this race, have all stages done by this day and the results are posted.

I believe you're already in the Delta Online DiRT club/league, what I do is I create an event on the DiRT websites & when you go into DiRT 4's main menu, select Events then Multiplayer then Clubs & this should bring you to the Club selection screen with all the clubs you are in. If you select a club & it has an active event, it will take you to a screen where you can select your car or check championship standings. On this screen there's a button saying either Start or Continue, selecting that brings you to the event & Racenet records the times which can be viewed after each stage or on the DiRT 4 website.
DiRT Rally is similar, you go to Events & this brings you to a screen with Career, Leagues & Custom, when you select Leagues, it brings you to a League selection screen & it's similar to DiRT 4 after that.
Rallycross & Landrush are different, for them you have to start a Jam Session (basically a lobby) & invite people similar to Forza & PC2 etc. I'm not planning on holding any RX events myself but if anyone did want to run RX events I would be happy to help & promote it. Clubs/Leagues do have RX & Landrush options but that is just basically a Time Trial with bots/AI thrown in, you can't run RX or Landrush from Clubs/Leagues
Hopefully that sums up DiRT Clubs/Leagues enough because they are a bit complicated for new players to understand fully.
