Professional Sim Racing (for non-Aliens)

June 18th, 2010 by

In November of 2009 iRacing.com introduced a feature that enables members to host their own races.  A session does cost $3 for the host, but he or she can have as many people join as they want for free as long as there is a stall for them on pit road. The most significant advantage to hosting your own race (compared to participating in an official iRacing event) is the ability to write your own rules.  This gives the host some great tools to create some really exciting events.  Some sites even run their own series complete with prizes for the winners.  Among the best examples of this feature are fantastic events like the STPC (Short Track Pro Cup) Thunder presented by ONeil PC systems ( http://www.stprocup.com ; http://www.oneilpcsystems.com ).  These events are hosted by the STPC series and broadcast by WRN, the web racing network ( http://www.webracingnetwork.com/Default.aspx ).
