2026 Dirt Rally 2 Championship

Back for 2026 is the Hexham and District Motor Club E-Sports Championship.

 

Thank you to all competitors who competed in 2025.

 

The E-Sports championship is designed to cater for all levels of sim racers whether on controller or a simulator. 

 

Using the popular Dirt Rally 2.0 game that is available on numerous platforms, we are holding a 12 round championship that for 2026 has some changes.

 

The changes for 2026 season are - 

1. Three multi venue rallies - 15-20 stages. See Calendar below. There will be double points on offer for these three events. None of these rounds can be dropped. The stage times from all venues will be added together to determine one result. You must select the same car for each venue.

2. As well as nine single venue rallies which will be approximately 10 stages long. Your lowest scoring round from one single venue rally throughout 2026 will be dropped. 

3. Consistent points for each round. 1st - 25, 2nd - 22, 3rd - 20, 4th - 18, 5th - 16 and so on. 

4. Each round will be set up individually on Dirt Rally 2.0 each month. The official results will be on the Hexham and District Motor Club website after each rally finishes.  Please note - Dirt Rally 2.0 results will not be valid in 2026. 

 

There will be one round per calendar month, using a different class of car each time. 

 

It’s free to enter for any club member, simply join ‘Hexham DMC’ club via the Dirt Rally 2.0 website and then head to Monte Carlo once again for January’s event. 

 

There are awards for the top 3 people at our annual awards night.
