***Official Rally Monte Carlo Report***
"It's amazing what can happen in an off season, as well as within a specific rally. It terms of the off-season, I just kept telling myself that you can't force things. If you try, generally nothing good comes of it as last season's Group A Championship proved. In terms of specific rallies, this weekend was proof positive that if you stick to it, good things can happen. My team produced a rock solid, fast car for me this weekend. Finishing as high up the leaderboard as we did feels like a victory to me and I couldn't be more pleased. Keeping pace with the drivers in this Championship is no easy task and I'm honored to be able to race with them and honestly surprised at being able to keep up for this rally at least. Now, it's off to Finland to begin testing. A rally where you really need to be mindful of where you can really push versus where to be cautious in order to be fast overall. That's where the learning for me is right now. We're excited, but know we have to stay focused on the next corner and not on championship points."

@Eyeseeh50 - thanks for doing the points. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say it's really appreciated.

You can work on upgrading your car in Custom Championships (in your career screen...) and win money too. You choose the number of stages and events. If you set your engineering team up to service your specific car (the third perk per engineer will give 15% upgrade time boost) and twelve stages will do it. Unfortunately, you can't choose which venue you'll race, but the flip side of that is, it doesn't matter where you place as it's about upgrading your car. If you take 45 minutes, you can fully upgrade any car in that time. That way, you don't risk having to go back to "Elite" by retiring from your "Masters" season.

No real incidents to speak of this rally. I had one strange off where it's almost as if my brakes didn't work briefly. It's not a difficult corner, so I'm not sure happened there. On the power stage I had a very familiar off. One that I did twice last season. None of the heavy hitters have run yet, so hopefully I don't fall to far down the leaderboard. My goal coming into this rally was 5 the place and I'm sure I can at least achieve that.

@V0RT3X & @Eyeseeh50 - you guys are purists, man! I'm not even thinking of putting down competitive times until I've had a chance to test and tweak my setup...and remind myself of the tricky bits on any particular stage.
I'm just choosing a car I don't have upgraded yet and have fun doing Masters 👍

I usually change the diff, brakes, and gears

I personally find it necessary to ALWAYS shorten the gears a few notches. Probably because I get real nervous at any speed over 100km/hr
Other than that, I never touch anything, either. The cars feel nice out of the box. The only exception are the two tarmac rallies. I do stiffen up the suspension and dampers for those events and I love the improvement in the handling.

Hey guys, I run an Argentine league and there's one guy that really stands out and kicks all of our asses every week. I think he would enjoy the challenge in the CRAP league. I was wondering if it would be OK if I invited him to race with us?

Agreed. All of the main contenders post here, so having someone that is getting podiums and wins but isn't posting here, would be rather odd.

I only got as far as the end of stage 4 Bjorn you can save your progress at service areas and continue at a later time.

Hello everyone!
I completed my first race in this league and then I found this forum and realized that I'd need to introduce myself before continuing this season any further.
Many of the DIRT leagues has become pretty passive and that is the reason I ended up joining this league as I saw it was active. I must say after few stages in Finland that you guys drive like crazy! Then again if there is any problems that I joined this league I may leave as well. Just to confirm it's ok me to drive here.
