Our Story

Built by Sim Racers,
for Sim Racers

Racey exists because running a sim racing league shouldn't require a second job.

The Origin

Why Racey Exists

It started with a spreadsheet. A massive, multi-tabbed Google Sheet with formulas breaking every other week, manual result entry after every race night, and a Discord channel full of “when will standings be updated?” messages.

Protests were handled through Discord polls and admin DMs. One week a driver gets a warning, the next week the same incident earns a disqualification — depending on who saw the clip and how the vote went. Drivers noticed. Trust eroded.

Payments were worse. Chasing Venmo requests, tracking who paid season fees in yet another spreadsheet, and dealing with the awkwardness of messaging friends about missing payments.

Racey was built to solve all of this. One platform that handles scoring with full audit trails, stewarding with blind review, payments with zero commission, and broadcasts with professional overlays. No more spreadsheets. No more Discord polls. No more admin burnout.

This is a solo project, built by a developer who races and a racer who develops. Every feature ships because a real league needed it.

Our Promises

What We Stand For

Three promises that will never change, regardless of how Racey grows.

Zero Commission

Entry fees go directly to your Stripe account. We never touch your money. Not now, not ever.

Values

How We Build

Every feature, every design decision, every line of code is guided by these principles.

Fairness

Blind stewarding ensures every protest is judged on merit, not reputation. Independent steward voting prevents groupthink. Every driver gets the same standard of justice.

Transparency

Audit trails on everything — every point calculated, every penalty issued, every ruling made. Drivers can see exactly how their standings are computed.

Community

Every feature in Racey was shaped by racer feedback. We build what leagues actually need, not what looks good in a pitch deck.
