Welcome to Racey

We are thrilled to introduce Racey — the all-in-one sim racing league management platform built by racers, for racers. Here is what we set out to build and why.

Racey Team

Running a sim racing league is a labour of love. You build a community, organise events, cajole drivers into showing up on time — and then you spend your Sunday night copy-pasting iRacing results into a spreadsheet, arguing about incident points in Discord, and manually calculating championship standings.

We know, because we have been there.

Racey exists to eliminate that entire class of busywork so you can focus on what matters: great racing.

The Problem

Most sim racing leagues cobble together a tech stack that looks something like this:

  • Google Sheets for standings and points
  • Discord polls for stewarding decisions
  • PayPal or honor-system for entry fees
  • Manual screenshots for broadcast graphics

It works — barely. But the moment your league grows past a dozen drivers, the cracks start showing. Formulas break when someone joins mid-season. Stewarding decisions feel arbitrary when they happen in a public chat. And the admin who holds everything together? They burn out.

What Racey Does

Racey is a purpose-built league management platform. Here is what you get out of the box:

Scoring Engine

Eight presets covering the most popular formats — F1, NASCAR, IndyCar, IMSA/WEC, Oval Weekly, Road Weekly, GT3, and Heat+Feature — plus a fully custom mode where you define point values for every position, bonus categories, stage scoring, half-points rules, and multiclass splits. Every calculation produces a transparent audit trail so drivers can see exactly how their points were computed. No more "the spreadsheet says so."

Stewarding System

Protests are filed through a structured form. Stewards review incidents with driver identities hidden (blind review), cast votes independently (they cannot see how other stewards voted), and choose from a clear penalty ladder: warning, time penalty, position penalty, grid penalty, disqualification, or race ban. Every ruling is stored as searchable precedent, so future decisions are consistent. Appeals go to a separate panel with the ability to submit additional evidence.

Broadcast Overlays

Six overlay types — standings tower, timing screen, battle tracker, race control messages, driver comparison, and championship ticker — all driven by real-time Server-Sent Events. Drop the URL into OBS as a browser source and it just works. No plugins, no third-party software, no polling delays.

Payments

Stripe Connect with direct charges. When a driver pays an entry fee, 100% lands in your Stripe account. Racey never touches, holds, or takes a percentage of your money. You handle refunds from your own Stripe dashboard. We make our revenue from subscription plans, not from skimming your fees.

Who It Is For

  • League admins who want their weeknights back
  • Drivers who want transparent scoring and fair stewarding
  • Stewards who want structured tools instead of Discord arguments
  • Broadcasters who want professional overlays without the headaches

Getting Started

Sign up for free. Every new account gets a 90-day Pro trial — full access to every feature, with a soft limit of 2 leagues and 3 seasons so you can run an entire season before deciding. No credit card required.

When the trial ends, your data stays exactly where it is. You can view, export, and reference everything. You just cannot create new seasons or leagues until you pick a plan.

What Is Coming

We are starting with iRacing because that is where the deepest league ecosystem lives. But Racey's architecture is sim-agnostic. Support for Assetto Corsa Competizione, rFactor 2, and Automobilista 2 is on the roadmap, along with deeper analytics (pace comparison, consistency ratings, incident heat maps) and a public API for community-built tools.

This is the beginning. We are building Racey in the open, and we want your feedback. Hit the contact page, join the Discord, or just start a league and tell us what is missing.

Welcome to Racey. Let us go racing.
