www.raceconnect.com your one stop sim league

[Dean Watson 0]

Based in the UK, RaceConnect is approaching it's 2nd birthday and with over 100 active members continues to grow and develop into the slickest league website out there.

With at least one race a night operating on a 2 week rota there are plenty of different championships currently running using a wide variety of mods for rFactor and Simbin's Race07, GTR Evolution and Race On!

Registration for RaceConnect is completely FREE!! All that is asked is you abide by the rules, treat others with respect both on and off the track and most of all have fun!!

Members of all abilities are welcome from complete novices to the aliens among you and it can be pretty much guarenteed that you will find someone to race with who is of a similar pace.

The site itself has an absolute wealth of information and statistics available allowing you to track your online racing career. Every laptime, race result and championship standing is available to view through the website including a section to monitor your own race statistics and a continuously updated driver ranking system based on your most recent race results.

You will also find series pages detailing the information for each championship, a section for sharing your setups, 2 live timing screens allowing you to see what's occuring on the race servers, a downloads section hosted on the RaceConnect servers with every mod and track that is used, practice servers up a week before each race, a new online TV channel where members can showcase their race highlight videos, watch InsideSimRacing and much more.

We have our own dedicated TeamSpeak2 server and will if needed add extra rooms for different languages or teams.

There is also a race jury made up of real life motorsport officials who do not participate in any races but offer their valuable knowledge and experience to adjudicate on any incidents or rule infringements that may have taken place during the races.

As well as the main site there is a large and active forum where members are encouraged to discuss all aspects of sim racing, seek help and advice, submit post-race reports and are actively involved in the desicion making process for many of the series that are run.

There are also currently Italian and French language sections of the forum run and maintained with help from some of our international members and if the demand is there more can be added.
