2019 International Rally Championship- Harsk100 is the champion.

[Harsk100]

Hi everyone! Welcome to the 2018 International Rally Championship.
We are looking forward to having an another season of the Rally Championship! This idea of creating a rally series started when I was competing into a rallycross championship on GT6. That took me to host a WRC championship, however, seeing that it was complicated, it ended on being a failure. But while my old PS3 was broken and that I was still waiting for a new one, I already was planning to revive the idea of doing my rally championship and make it sucessfull, as there aren't very much rally championships which are sucessfull.
In September 2017, Pedro Harsk has stepped down as a GORO steward which ended the cooperation between GORO and GRC. As a result, the Rally Senegal was the last GT6 Rally Round under the banner.
Since then, it became International Rally Championship from 2018 onwards and it was also moved

The 2019 IRC contains 5 classes, the main Class being R1 (Gr. B Rally Cars), R2 (N300 Cars), R3 (N200 Cars), R4 (N100 Cars) and the TT Class (Ford F-150 Raptor). Since the establishment of new era of 2017 GRC, the Race Cars, Vision GT Cars, Prototypes and Supercars have been banned from competing on rally rounds. This year also marks of Trophy Truck Pick-ups competing on a rally championship for the second time, as there were no Trophy Truck Pick-ups competing in 2018. There will be 12 rounds, with 6 rounds being in Asphalt and Gravel each.

With that, the rally championship will become more realistic and fair without having to worry about the Race Cars.

If you have any question, suggestion or feedback, please let us know. 👍

Enjoy!

@CrazyJohn @damonc84 @Neyrox

 

[Harsk100]

Hello everyone.

Because the thread was created only 5 days ago, I realized that it is too soon to start the Round #1, therefore, the Rally Organisation has decided that the Round #1 has been pushed one week forward, meaning, it will be starting on January 21st instead of today.
Another reason why of Round #1 delay is to give the drivers more time to make their Championship liveries. 👍

Looking forward to see you guys on the track next week!

Why to mess up with a great paint job? I won't be able to do something better

 

[Harsk100]

Round #1 has finished, @Harsk100 wins the Round #1 Rally Brazil ahead of @ss3 and the podium was completed by recentely returning driver (after he sat out of 2018 IRC Season), @RoadRageDudez on his Subaru WRX.

With that, this marks the first absence ever by Toyota in a round which hadn't happened since 2016 season when it was called Global Rally Championship back then.

Anyways, the Round #1 results are as it follows:

It also is marked by @Toshost's return to IRC, although that he will be competing only at rounds of his Selection starting by Round #4 and the best classification ever by a driver from Egypt, @Warbeast101 for finishing 5th overall in a unexpected way!
So with that, he becomes the first driver from Egypt to finish on Top 5 in a Round.

The Rally Organisation is looking forward to see you on the track for the Round #2 which is set on Spain. See you on the Round #2!

 

[Harsk100]

Sorry for double post and sorry for not telling anything yesterday, but when I came home, I was very tired.

So, just to let you know that the Round #2 from Rally Spain has started and that the Rally Track will be set to Catalunya Track. Please do not cut the final chicane: If done so, lift off your acceleration for about 3-5 seconds to avoid getting a penalty.

@ss3 @RoadRageDudez @CrazyJohn @Neyrox @Warbeast101

The Rally Organisation is looking forward to see you on the Track. Good luck!

Warning: The date of Rally Spain was fixed to "4-10 February" instead of "3-9 February", as February 3rd is in sunday. Apologies for any incovinence caused.

 

[Harsk100]

Sorry for triple post guys.

Because I wasn't able to open a lobby yesterday due to personal commitents, the Rally Organisation has decided that the Round #2's deadline will be extended for more two days. So, with that, the rally ends on January 12th instead of today with the hour of deadline remaining at 23:59.

Good luck!

Why am I getting tagged when I'm not taking part on the series?

 

[Harsk100]

Why am I getting tagged when I'm not taking part on the series?

Ups! So sorry.

 

[Harsk100]

Round #3 is finished, @Harsk100 wins 3rd rally in a row, equalising @RacingHardTV and in terms of consecutive victories in IRC since its creation on 2016. With that achieved victory, he runs away from the competition on the standings and he stays 1 win away from equalizing CrazyJohn's winning sequence in IRC. Christianne Harsk also achieved a surprising and unexpected podium by finishing 3rd overal ahead of Francesco Pisciotta and @ss3!

@Neyrox achieves his 3rd class win in a row with his Audi, maintaining him as 100% class victorious in rounds which he had competed with Audi. The same to @epic_apri_39 with Alfa Romeo. Here are the results as it follows:

Next Round is the 2nd anual of French Rally, which will be held on Alasce Village Reverse which will be hosted from 8 to 14 April. Hopefully we will see @Toshost's return in R2 Class to see if he stops Chris Johnson's winning sequence in R2 Class...

The Rally Organisation is looking forward to see you on the track. Good luck!

 

[Jim38737]

Hi, I'm afraid I must withdraw from the IRC, due to real life commitments so I won't be able to compete.

 

[Harsk100]

Thanks for taking part on 2019 IRC.
