I'm new to Race2Play

We follow standards of competition taken from the National Auto Sport Association's rule set and adapted by our years of experience organizing online auto racing, but to get you going "quick start" fashion we've compiled The Race2Play Way ... Learn it, know it, live it, and you'll do fine.

Make sure to set the time zone in your account profile so you'll see all times automatically adjusted to your clock. Check that the "Current time ... " in red matches the clock on your wall, and you are good to go.

Signups are on an event-by-event basis. Enter whatever events you like in whatever series you like.

1. Find event. There are myriad ways of browsing for events by section or list or even by search.

2. Join event. On the event page click the "[Join this event]" link at the top. Note that supporting members of Race2Play will continue to receive precedence in entry priority up to the event.

3. Run event. The events you've signed up for and their server passwords will be listed at the top of your My R2P page. If you're unable to make an event, please use the "[Unregister]" link so that someone from the waiting list may move up to the grid.

Our forums are organized as "Groups": Group = Forum, with some added functionality. If you join a Group's membership you'll receive notices of all new activity in that Group's forum threads. Standard and Premium members even may create new Groups, adding forums for areas of special interest not already met. Groups may be made private as well: A prime example of this would be a Team keeping its official Team forum open to the public, but creating a private Group forum for its own inner discussions.

Teams and Independent Chapters have their own forums. Blogs are essentially personal forums. Only you may start a topic in your own blog, and decide whether or not to allow coments from others.

The Community portal page presents a handy roundup of all the various forum activity across Race2Play in the last 24 hours.

Those aforementioned notices of new forum activity of personal interest? You'll find them on your My R2P page organized under individual tabs. You'll receive notices of all new forum activity for Groups, Teams and Independent Chapters you've joined, Blogs, as well as prerace and postrace activity of personal interest to you.

Under the My R2P section you also will find links to all the pages that make your career at Race2Play a personalized experience.

Have fun!
