We have scheduled for a long maintenance session immediately after the last VRC Worlds events have finished.

Maintenance may start already Monday June 29th and can last till Friday July 3rd. As we are planning hardware and software upgrades our services will very likely be offline for longer periods.

Those who are involved in ongoing weekly and other scheduled events during that period should plan for their event runs around this period in order to get results in.

We will also do a season-end recalculation of the racer class levels for all racers. Before you start your new season 2 you should check your new racer class level (Club, Sport, Pro) as you will be racving with that racer level for each of the classes during Season 2.. You can adjust upwwards if you feel you can handle stronger competition, you cannot adjust to a lower level.

I ask 5 minutes of your time to explain.

Our aim was to create realistic looking cars and tracks so that the visual experience of the sim would be just like in the real world. I honestly think that we have come a long way, especially considering that we developed the graphics engine and all the 3D graphics ourselves which took us 9 years to where we are now.

In 2005 we departed on an experiment we had no idea of where it would lead us, what we could achieve. The task was simple: make the car... read more
