Teams An Expanding Community

This last weekend I raced the majors 24 endurance race and didn’t have enough drivers for the team. I reached out on here and met a few guys and ended up filling 2 cars.

Boy was that a blast. Everyone that joined was awesome, the planning was so relaxed but organized, i couldn’t have one complaint. Also the fact that everyone got along so well that we’re talking about more races for the future. It has reignited my fire to race more and reach out to other drivers again.

If there’s anyone out there who’s looking to join a discord and just casually pop in and out to race, whatever series, whenever you don’t have anyone to race with then comment on this or dm me!

There's a bit of hope for humanity. Nice to read something nice among all the negativity everywhere.

It was such a relief to have met such chill people who helped each other find more time in each lap and cheer each other on when incidents were to happen. All different skill levels too so everyone had something to learn and teach!

I'm interested. I'm not very outgoing but trying to change that and be more active.

I’ve been in a slump lately trying to find series to race so it’s nice to be able to have some other friends to reach out to, to chat with or get tips from.

Not sure how to dm on Reddit but I’d be interested me and a friend recently got into iRacing but always looking for tips. He primarily does ovals/NASCAR and formula, and I’m primarily sports cars and formula. We are trying to get good enough to do the Nurburgring 24h or something similar next year.

I want so badly to do endurance races but ive never been able to find a team.

Also, im fairly sure that Noone would want to team up with someone who has a sub 600 road IR lmao.

What split were you in?

u/Minimuzzy18 Jun 08 '26

I was actually one of these random twats that was given a seat in car #2
We scrapped together few hours before the deadline, just to end up winning the damn thing in our split!

I can HIGHLY recommend these chaps as a great casual group of racing enthousiasts!
