Clubs - Various and important problems (for Esports competitions)

Clubs
I think you are not looking at the clubs with the real importance they have in the game. It is through clubs that many players have fun and compete with their friends, but it is also through clubs that Esports organizations organize all their competitions. I'm talking about official entities such as the Portuguese Automobile and Karting Federation, which organizes the Portuguese National Championships and many more.

It is extremely important to have the option for clubs to be private and to only be able to enter the club after approval from an administrator. This option already existed in Dirt Rally 2.0 and for competition organizers, it is extremely important.

Extremely important! When a player goes to the main menu and returns to the club between stages, the car is repaired and the tires are new, is it possible to fix this? This is a serious problem that devitalizes any championship.. Players will exploit this to their advantage.

Now with clubs having rallys that can last up to 24 stages, it would be good to be able to define the number of tire sets when we are setting the rally. Just 3 sets may not be enough if we want to do a more demanding rally in terms of number of kilometers.

It would be nice if it were possible to create competitions that last just a few hours and not have a minimum of 1 day.
Once again, from an esports point of view, sometimes we are interested in launching something "quickly" and not a rally where you have 1 whole day to do it.

Is it possible to add the option to force the interior cameras like there was in Dirt Rally 2.0?

Damage model: If we have a "Hardcore Damage" option, the damage should be really hardcore. No one has an accident at 200km/h and manages to continue the rally as if it were nothing. Will it be possible to make the damage more "aggressive" in future updates?
It doesn't need to be something 100% real, but it should be more penalizing than what it is at the moment.

I apologize for the long text, but these aspects are really important for the functioning and use of the game by the organizing entities.
Keep up the good work and remember.. If in doubt, Flat Out!

  • -In year 2023... clubs cant create a rally with cars from different classes for participate all together... I apologize but it is ridiculous and unacceptable.
    -By the way, but I've seen that it's a lot to ask... we can create a rally with, for example, 3 stages from Portugal plus 3 stages from Greece and 3 from Croatia... this would bring much more variety to the rallies created by private/official communities

  • Your missing a big issue - there's no overall results after each individual stage so our drivers have no idea where they overall throughout the rally until the final stage...

  • @JeeJay29 This is a big issue for Crest Autosport (running the WSRC and HSRC) as we are notorious for our long, challenging, and replicating rallies. This issue takes away the challenge (somewhat) and leans Clubs more towards being a hot lappers paradise.
  • Spotted another issue. Reset to Track is always available, so if drivers are about to DNF at somewhere like Corsica or Greece, they can just pause their game, select 'reset to track' and avoid a certain DNF. 

    Please only make 'reset to track' available if a car is completely stopped, otherwise there will be plenty of cheating in ESports / league racing competition.
