[FEATURE] Stage times, export, full results, events saved, replays etc. For big Leagues

[Myrvold 74]

So, one of the major drawbacks for DiRT Rally is the poor integration of the online part. The leagues bit actually works, and I do like the way the session can be open for a long time, it makes it easier to get people from all over the world to join in the rallies.

 As the RBR and DiRT Rally Staff over at RaceDepartment, I was hoping to move our RD Rally Championship from RBR to DiRT Rally now, one of the longest lasting series' over there with 70-90 drivers each season. Well, enough self promoting. 

The issues today with DiRT Rally, is that it is not made for this kind of leagues. It isn't made for the 3 months, 9 rallies typical simracing league. At the moment, the only chance to get the overall results is to screenshot them before the "season" on RaceNet is finished, if not, they are lost. So, to hopefully make it possible to have some huge professional leagues running on the game, we do need quite a bit of features. 

The most important one, is that the event results get saved after the season is finished on RaceNet, even better is if it is possible to export them in a nice format. 

Secondly we would like to have the opportunity to see the times for each drivers on each stage. This is useful for tracking how the event progressed, and see where we won/lost. Also, it makes for better recaps and articles. 

Thirdly, the drivers that retire just vanish from the results, so in a long though rally, we might have 70 starters, and 25 that finish the last stage, the way it is now, is that only 25 drivers show up, which makes statistics, and season long results hard to figure out. 

If these three features are added, we are making good progress towards a game that can carry the simrally-legacy into new years of championships. 

deally we would like to have the chance to save, and re-watch rallies, as that makes it possible to make some proper highlight videos. Like this

Hmm, poll options, that will be interesting. (Sorry for messing up the anonymous part of the poll, tried to make a new thread, forum wouldn't let me)

Having just set up a league in the more traditional forum/sign up style at SROL, I couldn't agree more. We've got 50+ sign ups for the series with two classes of car. It would be awesome if I didn't have to jump through hoops just to get the final rally results, let alone individual stage times. As a long time sim racing admin from rFactor and Game Stock Car, I'm not against putting in some work. However, the league system for DiRT Rally isn't really good enough for anything but a casual series, not that it's stopping me trying. ;)

Then I'm not alone at least :) That's always something :)

Hello, we have investigated this and the following things are feasible:

• Archive season results
• Export season results
• See the times for each driver on each stage
• Include results for drivers that have retired

We're hoping to support these by the end of Early Access.

Great stuff, no chance to make any highlight videos, but very good for compiling results and make race reports! I love it! :)

Thanks for the answer Sir! :)

Those would certainly be massive step in the right direction. :)

Just bumping this one, as sadly none of this was implemented by the end of  Early Access!

Not sure how I missed this, but yes please!

My biggest nightmare is missing event results because the season ended. And the export of results would be very helpful.

Once again adding my support to this. The leagues, now in addition to the current functionality issues, are unfortunately lacking big time.
