    Hi,

    I'm Thomas from England. I Race as much as I can on games like Race07 and GT6. When I was younger I raced in Karts around the country but stopped due to the expense of the sport and with various exams coming into my life something had to give.
    Look forward to racing here, I am contactable daily on my twitter @GremlinWon
    I have read the rules and regulations but have not see anything about racing numbers and teams. If I could be pointed into the right direction I will select my number and I'd like to make my own team if possible.

    You can put your team name in your signature,number use any one you like as and when we get more members I am going to use live racers for timing and there will be teamspeak.

    We need some type of software for team rankings i am looking in to that.
    That way we have live racers for timing and software(what ever that may be) for team ranks.

    As you can see there is not any points attached to any races yet there will be when software has been found.

    Hope that helps.

    Live racers is quite good for timing and it would be nice to have team ranks but i don't know what type of software you would use either.

    Welcome to simracingonline GremlinWon see you on track

    I am Alex Smith from England been racing for quite a while mainly ps3 and xbox but have done gtr2 and rfactor found this site and thought will give gtr2 and rf ago again.
    Had some good races on both games but the site I raced on was like a public server drivers cutting the track smashing in to cars so am giving this one a try.

    Good to see, I know some places just use excel pages of information and upload it and just update it regularly. It would only take a small admin team of moderators and so on to do that. I'll see you all on track tomorrow in GTR2 I think depending on timings.

    Hi there,

    I'm João and I'm from Portugal. I'm rather new to the sim racing medium, which is rather apparent when you see me on track xD.
    I'm a huge fan of GT cars, close relatives of those, LMP's and old F1's, so finding a community that prefers those over modern F1 or the likes is a huge plus.

    Hoping to have some nice fun clean racing with you guys.

    Cheers

    Hi João!
    Welcome, your in the right place for that type of racing. We can also take requests if there is enough popular demand for a request then there is no reason why we can't run it. See you on track soon

    Hello I'm Jason (Jay) Cooper from the UK and a huge motorsport fan. I come from a family that has a long history in motorsport and just can't get it out of my system. Who needs drugs and alcohol when you got the smell of Castrol R, Methanol, burnt rubber and a bunch of beautiful sounding engines roaring around a race track.

    I've been sim racing for quite a while as well as having a former real life career.
    I have been involved with a few leagues and as some have moved on to rF2 which is fantastic and I love, but in my opinion is too early as there's not enough variety in mods yet, I have decided to stay with rF1 as it has more than what I wish to race in which brings me here.

    I was recommended here by GremlinWon at a league called Really Rubbish Racing, who I have been with for about 3 and a half years. They recently moved to using Race07 which for me is not ideal for online sim racing compared to the likes of rF, rF2 and iRacing. I started my new job October last year which now takes up alot of my time. So I had to cut something out in order to free up some racing time on something I enjoy. As I rate rFactor much, much higher than I do Race07, the latter got ditched and I announced myretirement from racing on Race07 with Really Rubbish Racing. It just wasn't what I was looking for anymore.

    So what am I looking for? I'm looking to compete in mainly endurance racing (WES mod with simulated day/night races), classic F1 (F1 today is a shadow of the F1 I knew and grew up adoring), Indy and NASCAR.

    Thanks for reading and I hope to join you all on track soon.

    Welcome Jay!

    Great to see you here. We currently have a wide variety of racing going on but I think 3 main seasons going on but the biggest of those season will be the SROLMS season 1 starting in October if I recall correctly.
    SRO is still very new and are gaining members gradually but we welcome all of those that wish to race fairly. Currently we do not use the driver number system until more members have gathered around and we start implementing skins to our seasons. For now we are just getting the racing done and championships raced.
    Nigel is a better source of information currently as I am very busy with exams but I am still trying to be active online and helping out where I can. Banners so far seem to be my main feature and also discussion.
    Hope to see you on track soon. I'll be on the tack in late May :)

    Hey Jay great to have you on board and nice to see another Nascarfan. I raced Nascar since 1998 started with Nascar2 by Papyrus. After i bought all the masterpieces like N99, N3, N4, NR 2002 and the last NR 2003. Great games and unforgettable. Exactly like the GPL released 1998 with still a lot of drivers!!! [​IMG]

    Hi, I'm John I've been playing Rfactor for years & have toyed with the idea of racing online, but when I looked at the servers on Rfactor I could never find one with cars I wanted to race, as I'm not interested in racing OW's.
    I've also had the Offline version of Race 07 since it first came out, but for some reason I couldn't keep up with the AI's in the corners, may be I'm not too good with rear wheel drive. I now have steam race 07 & was hoping to join some races on RR, but they've stopped using it now:D
    I've always preferred Rfactor as it's got the largest mod base of any racing sim & they're all free, unlike most of the racing sims, I went to try Rfactor 2 a couple of years ago but didn't fancy paying out for what is still a beta, so I would like to hear from users who have it & what they think about it, also assetto corsa, stock car extreme & project cars, as they seem to be the only affordable options along with Rfactor 2 where there is a good mod base free to down load.
    I have plenty of free time on my hands (being retired) so I am willing to assist with anything, I have built my own computers so if anyone has any technical probs I can help with, just let me know & I'll do my best.
