Cool trailer, Awesome magazine, looking great so far! I want in!

I better finally get started on making a proper handbrake then
Quick question: how many input devices does DiRT Rally support?

AFAIK, it does support at least two. As people are using G27 wheel with Fanatec handbrake/joystick.
Not sure, but maybe @Rallycameraman are able to help out

 

[Lynx2000]

I am running a dfgt with fanatec csl elite pedals a th8a shifter and a custom handbrake so at least 4 and I thought 5 is also possible

 

[Mark Sheepwash]

Great stuff a dirt championship at last! Great magazine too. @Ole Marius Myrvold are you going to work out all the individual stage times?!!

Quick question: how many input devices does DiRT Rally support?

I'm almost sure that 5 different input devices is the max that DiRT Rally supports.

Thanks!
Yes, with the brilliant resultParser made by Aaron DeMarre, we'll be able to extract each stagetime. That combined with some scripting/programming by @Michael Nelson should make the process relatively straight forward

Good stuff - it took me a while with just 6 players and an excel spreadsheet
Just a suggestion if you are going to work out the exact stage times for each stage, how about making the last stage of each round the PowerStage? The top 3 times for that stage get bonus points as per the real WRC, 3 for 1st, 2 for 2nd and 1 for 3rd?

Ye, and I am awful at excel as well, so I would most likely use a week just to get it working!
We had it the last the seasons, but decided against it this time
