SECTION 1: GENERAL INFO

The ERA Series' are virtual rally championships organised by the ERA Team in association with Barry Racing. These championships uses the latest version of the RallySimFans plugin. This means to compete you must have an account on the RSF Website and be using the latest install of the plugin.
For the 2026 season, we will be running two championships. ERA British Series & ERA Irish Tarmac Series. These are entirely seperate, and will have seperate points. The only thing that will remain the same is the format and the car classes. The British Series will begin mid January and the Irish Tarmac Series will begin early August. You can check the full list of dates here.
Due to rules about replay checking (listed below) it is highly recommended that you are in either the RallySimFans Discord server or the AAC Rallying Discord server.
All updates for the championship will be posted simultaneously on both servers, that means it isn't necessary to join both servers. As well as this, all info can always be found on this blogger site. If you have any further questions please ask an organiser.

SECTION 2: INTERACTION ON DISCORD

Be kind and courteous. We're all in this together to create a welcoming environment. Let's treat everyone with respect. Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required.
No hate speech or bullying. Make sure everyone feels safe. Bullying of any kind isn't allowed, and degrading comments about things such as race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender or identity will not be tolerated.
Keep chats savvy. Make sure you are posting in the correct channels. Be prepared to move with the flow of the chat if the subject changes, and don't spam.
Enjoy yourself!
