Race2Play Season 4 review
Race2Play's first public season was a great success. Known as "Season 4" (Seasons 1-3 were completed during beta testing), this included:
-- More than 8,000 race participants from 50 countries completing more than a half-million race miles in 500+ events over a 14-week span.
-- 28 different championships, leading to 34 drivers and 34 teams being crowned the champions of their respective series and divisions.
-- Multiple events daily featuring GTR2, rFactor, GT Legends, RACE:WTCC, and NR2003 and their respective mods and addons.
VindexWorks Inc. and the National Auto Sport Association would like to thank each and every supporter and participant for making Race2Play (and NASASimRacing powered by Race2Play) the go-to destination for professionally organized and sanctioned simulated auto racing.
Race2Play Season 5 preview
Season 5 at Race2Play begins in May '07 and runs through August. This includes:
-- 30 different championship series, many divided into regional divisions, comprising more than 350 events. Hundreds more 'fun-run' events will be added to available slots as interest dictates.
-- GTR2, GT Legends, RACE:WTCC and rFactor are fully supported in the coming season, as well as the following addons: V8 Supercars (GTR2), Formula BMW (rFactor), F1'05 (rFactor), GP'79 (rFactor), Panoz Esperante (rFactor), V8 Supercars (rFactor), ProtoRacer (rFactor), PCC (rFactor), and TPSCC (rFactor).
-- Race2Play is continually evaluating new addons and software to include in future events, and plans already include the incorporation of RACE '07, ARCA SimRacing, Champ Car, Richard Burns Rally, and others.

ISI Panoz Le Mans Series
Season 4's rFactor World Challenge Series evolves into the Panoz Le Mans Series in Season 5. Prototypes are out in favor of the Panoz GTR-1. The Panoz GT2 cars will compete on track alongside the GTR-1 cars in 2.5-hour endurance races, all of which will end at sunset. ImageSpace has come on board as the title sponsor of the Panoz Le Mans Series, which will operate a single division running in a time slot suitable for Americans and Europeans alike.

'Welcome' division for new sim racers
Race2Play now offers events in a new division for newcomers to sim racing. These events offer both 'noobs' and veterans who are still getting up to speed opportunities to get acquainted with online racing in a no-pressure setting. "Welcome" events feature private statistics and rankings for gauging your results until you feel comfortable and ready to jump in with the 'aliens'.

Bring your league to R2P
R2P can help sim racing leagues run and grow. Series can be set up around private or public groups controlled by the league admin, who can invite in new members from Race2Play's vast driver pool. No server dues, no administration on race day, no manually tracking of stats or scoring ... Race2Play does it all! If you would like more information about having your league run a season at Race2Play, contact Tim McArthur.
Release your 'mod' through R2P
The ISI pre-release of the Panoz Esperante add-on through the Race2Play was the first in many pre-releases at Race2Play. Add-on makers reap the benefit of expanded exposure as well as recouping some of the expenses associated with developing the community software. If your mod-group would like more information, contact us.
If your mod-group would like to take part in the development of fully licensed after market add-ons for popular simulations; Race2Play, together with the the National Auto Sport Association, has hundreds of fully licensed cars and tracks just waiting to be brought into the sim-racing world.
