United KingdomYes but you might do them in a different order. Though now I think about it I'm not actually sure if that makes it take any longer. I guess it doesn't really matter, as long as you could in theory retime it down to the frame, just in case, it's specific enough.
Yeah I agree, it's the wrong way around - it should be the list of maps at the top (alongside "all maps") then inside each you can select your vehicle tier, just like in career. It'll make it consistent and just better overall.
I don't mind when it starts, I think on pressing A on your car is maybe slightly better, but I don't think it makes much difference.
As for ending, I think we should include the last "cutscenes" where you see your win% etc as part of the timer, as it's a different length for certain years, so you're kind of cutting off the end of the last years you do.
Thanks for the response!
To clarify when I meant resetting, I meant retiring from a season to get a new set of tracks within a run. I have done runs with the 1971 first as that has the most rng (I can't retire for a fast 2nd set of tracks, it's the only 2 country part of group 2).
Is it allowed to reset a season to try for better track rng? Some tracks/countries are much faster than others and you can retire from a season and load another really fast. No rules forbid it so I assume it's fine.
It'd also be good to have when time should start and when time should stop in the rules, as right now I'm just guessing based on other runners. Right now 1st and 2nd place start their runs at different times, and they stop their timers at wildly different times. One before the final screens one after, like 25 seconds different.
Also the rules don't say you have to the championships in order, I presume you don't, it'd be good to have a rules clarification on that.
For my own amusement I put together a sheet that contains all the WRs (not rain) across all the tracks, to see which countries are on average the fastest. Take a look here:

The take away is though, that some countries are way faster than others. Here's the final averages:
Countries Averages Norway 02:10.091 Finland 02:18.096 Sardinia 02:38.962 Japan 03:05.355 Germany 03:16.485
So Norway and Finland are super fast, and Japan and Germany are super slow.
Hey. Looking at casden's run which is currently wr in group 2
https://www.speedrun.com/art_of_rally/run/zn3l659y
He seems to skip certain tracks somehow? Like at 35:20 in the video he finishes a race, which was the first race of 4, after hitting continue he immediately starts race 3. How is this done?
