Season 10 sneak teasers

Sep 01, 2008

Season 9 will be drawing to a close in September and we're already at work on Season 10 to kick off the beginning of October.

We won't glaze you over with the epic listings of events at this point, but tease you with some of tasty tidbits we have cooking:

World Championships of Online Racing

Of course, Season 9 marks the third and final season of qualifiers for the 2008 World Championships of Online Racing presented by the National Auto Sport Association. The playoffs for each racing discipline will be run across multiple sims - in fact the "equipment" of modern sim racing - in a format designed to find the Mario Andrettis of online racing: Those drivers who can jump into a diversity of equipment and excel.

Greatest selection in online racing

As expected, Season 10 will see racing across rFactor, GTR2, ARCA, RACE07/GTR Evo, Richard Burns and more. Race anything, race everything, and recall every lap from the historical record. We'll also be trying out a greater variety of new mods than we have in the past, even if just for a few fun runs (sometimes that's all anyone wants, just to have tried it).

And, of course, NAGT ... Different types of series, perhaps even with a special twist only at Race2Play! :-)

The weeknight stack

Three to four events each weeknight stacked one after the other on the hour ... for both European and U.S. time zones! Something to like for everyone in a format the won't kill off the whole evening. Or go ahead and kill off the evening: Run them all back-to-back.

Race2Play[Pro]

Just as we added Race2Play[Novice] a couple seasons ago, we're adding Race2Play[Pro] to the mix now. Drivers capable of reaching the upper Rankings here at Race2Play are assumed to have a certain level of experience and consistency on track, and the select series designated [Pro] will address that with advanced rule sets and tighter expectations. Certain exceptions to the Rank restriction may be made for drivers who have an exceptional record of clean and orderly racing.

Hold on, it's coming!

Season 10 is just a few weeks away.
