In order of importance, here are the issues that we are having within our league with clubs:
1. Quitting the club, and returning with no damage
If you quit a club event after a stage and then return, your car is fully repaired and punctured tyres are replaced.
2. Event standings not showing after each stage
You can't view the overall standings after a specific stage on the game, or on the Racenet website and app. In quick play and other single-player modes, the overall standings are displayed straight after the stage times. Not knowing where you are overall throughout a rally is pretty rubbish, and you only found out once you've completed the entire event so are having to add up numbers in your head throughout the X stage event.
3 Times for retired drivers / DNF drivers showing in the event standings
Retired drivers are not showing in the stage results or overall event standings, which makes it very confusing when trying to work out who finished where in the lower places - especially when you can only view individual stage times on the app, and not an overall standings after each stage like you could on DR2. Like the last game, it would be great if retired drivers had times of 15 and 30 minutes (depending on the stage lengths) and that they would show in all leaderboards.
4. Setting up the start time and duration:
We currently have the option to either start an event now, or in 1 day + time. Please allow a '0 day' option when setting up the time until an event start, so if it's 17:25 my time, I could set the event to open at 19:00 of the same day. This is how it was for DR2, but appears to have been removed for EA WRC.
Requests:
In clubs, the stage ends at the finish line like in time trial, but it would be great if drivers had to drive to the marshal like in DR2. This is how it is in other game modes such as career mode and quick play in EA WRC.
If I'm busy but need to set up an event, in the past I could jump on my phone and set the event up there, but now I have to wait until I get home and set it up through the game - which is going to delay the start time for some our events. It would be nice to have the ability to create events through the browser.
Could the 'reset to track' option be only selectable when a car is stopped at 0mph? Currently drivers can begin to fall down a cliff in clubs at somewhere like Greece and Corcisa, so they will quickly pause their game and select 'reset to track' meaning they only get a 5 second time penalty instead of an instant terminal damage which of course is not fair.
There doesn't appear to be any split times in clubs anymore - I quite liked this on DR2, but I suppose not everyone will be against this change! Maybe the option could be available to include split times so that you can see where you rank compared to the fastest time so far? We make the fastest drivers in our league run first, so it was always a good indicator for drivers running after to see where they place against the big runners.
Thank you for listening to our suggestions EA / PJ!
@Dom93iom You can view the overall standings of a club by going to "Event Overview", clicking on the current event and showing the leaderboard via the prompt in the bottom right corner

@Irish_Fox74 yes, if you back out to the main menu after each stage, which as we know gives drivers automatic repairs. We also make all our drivers compete their stages in one go anyway.
Not sure why the event standings can't just be shown after the stage results in clubs

@Dom93iom You misunderstand me. After a stage, there is the option to look at event overview. You can see the current standings through there. You do not have to return to the main menu to see them.

@Irish_Fox74 ah ok thanks, that's handy to know and will have to do for now! I shall try this out.
Hopefully they can still add in event standings after each stage times sheet, and make them always available on the app / website.
It's nice to follow the progress of drivers as they go through their stages, and it is crucial for us to save to our records, and help make event highlights packages.
If I'm one of the very first few to run, yes I can now view standings by doing the tip you suggest, but I would like to know where I was overall after stage 2, 3, 4...etc later on in the week, but this is not possible anymore.
