Race2Play speeds into the future

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.
