Compete in the Coldest Rally Yet- The 2023 ARC Winter Rally-Raid Championship

We are here to tide over your hunger for a Dakar championship, specifically with the 2023 ARC Winter Rally Raid Championship!

The Rules:

• The ARC Winter Rally Raid Championship short and sweet, a 3 stage rally starting on Monday, December 11th, with a deadline of Christmas day.

• All Vehicles from all years are allowed, including classics, with the exception of Snowrunner vehicles, which are not allowed. You may only compete in a single class.

• Unlike other rallies, as a single event, you may not your vehicle selection after starting. Switching vehicles will lead to disqualification. Do the best with the tools you've been given.

• The stages will be run on Free Mode > Custom Play and cannot be run with AI.

• Stages will be run on default time, & SNOW, CLEAR SKY FOR WEATHER & FORECASTED WEATHER. Progression time will remain at the default 10m.

• Stages can only be run once, & with absolutely no reruns. If you are found to be rerunning stages, you will be funny disqualified from the championship.

• Drivers MUST RECORD their stages. The admin team will ask for *stage audits* randomly throughout the rally, in which when asked, a competitor must upload the stage to youtube or another platform for full viewing. Failure to provide this will add 15 minutes to the stage time.

• Results will be sent to the admin team via Google Form- linked here:

• Results will be posted & calculated via SimLeaguePro.com after the submission period closes, to keep all results hidden & fair until the stage ends.

• You will have 5 minutes added for each instance of rules not being followed (incorrect weather, AI on, etc.) After the third instance, you will be disqualified from the rally.

• As we are relying on an honour system for results, do NOT ruin this for others by rerunning stages. You will be disqualified immediately.
