From oval racing to road racing, nightly sprints to multi-hour endurance races, from high-end supercars in international locales to the production models we see racing on local circuits, the Race2Play world reflects what is the world of motorsports. Using the latest simulations software and the highest quality addons, sim drivers around the world have the gamut of racing choices on the gamut of equipment choices.

Computer simulations are highly valued at many professional levels, from training astronauts and airline pilots and tank drivers to, yes, auto racers. It's no secret NASCAR stars such as Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Denny Hamlin, or former Champ Car wonderboy AJ Allmendinger, have been avid sim racers, extolling the virtues of learning track layouts and braking points, racecraft and patience, in a realistically simulated environment using software for the PC. And having a blast while they're at it!

You can too! Race2Play organizes online auto racing events and series for virtual drivers of every skill level and experience, and is the world's only sim racing organization recognized by a real sanctioning body. Read about our alliance with the National Auto Sport Association.

All in one place

Race2Play offers a incredible variety of racing choices under one body, from sports cars and touring cars to open wheelers and stock cars, and runs in the neighborhood of 100 races each month. The events are conducted by live Stewards to ensure they run on time and maintain NASA's standards of competition and fairness. A recent analysis showed more than 86% of all race participants cross the finish line on average, with less than 4% going out due to car-on-car contact. No other organization presents both the scope of choice and quality of competition as does Race2Play.

The racing events and series are designed and administered by Tim McArthur, who was voted one of the most influential PC Racing Sim Personalities of 2005 by the readers of AutoSimSport magazine.

Count every lap

The Race2Play website is designed and developed from the ground up to accompany and maximize everything that is great about sim racing and sim racing community, innovating and encompassing features such as:

  • A driver's every career lap tracked and available at the click of a mouse ... Event history, personal race reports, track records, current statistics such as wins, top 10s, poles, DNFs, even total miles raced, and more.
  • Driver rankings: A rank value based upon the driver's results, enabling racers to measure their career progress, up, down, and where they stand next to their fellow racers. Not just one ranking overall, but a separate ranking as well for each racing type (Sports car, Touring car, Stock car, and Open wheel).
  • Are you a part of a race team? Are you proud of your race team? Race teams are an integrated feature of Race2Play and enjoy all the same features described for drivers!
  • Continually current and up-to-date, generally within minutes of the latest race being completed ... including series standings for both drivers and teams as well as personal stats and rankings. This is where the power of the Race2Play programming really shines.
  • Customizable homepages for drivers and teams, displaying the results of their sim racing efforts and expressing who they are as a racer. Members can assign custom URLs to their homepages as well, for telling friends or including in their sigs on various forums.
  • Large social community: Race2Play features user-created Group forums (public and private), personal blogs, and a prerace chat and postrace reports system that forever ties race banter to the actual event as opposed to being lost in separate forum threads elsewhere.
