Racey vs SimGrid
Multi-sim (LMU, ACC, and others); iRacing support present, depth not independently verified
SimGrid is a large multi-sim marketplace where drivers join events and leagues hosted on SimGrid's own platform. Racey is software for running your own branded league — most often on iRacing — with your own pages, scoring, stewarding and direct Stripe entry fees. If you want to plug into an existing community, SimGrid is strong; if you want to own and operate your league, that is what Racey is built for.

Where Racey is different
- Direct, zero-commission Stripe entry fees — SimGrid collects entry fees itself and deducts payment fees plus a commission before paying hosts out (per their published Host FAQ and Host Terms).
- Your own branded league and web pages, instead of running events on a shared marketplace.
- Purpose-built iRacing results import plus guided CSV for other sims.
- We're not aware of SimGrid offering AI-assisted/blind stewarding or true OBS broadcast overlays.
Where SimGrid may be the better choice
- A large, active multi-sim community and daily ranked races already in place.
- Built-in server hosting via credits.
- Deep ACC / LMU integration and console crossplay.
