Registering as a new host is now open and it has never been easier. Previously, you needed to go through a vetting process to discuss your community, you had to request access and justify why you should be on the platform and this worked very well. This got us our first 350 hosts.
Now, for the first time ever it has opened up and as of this week, anyone can create a community account without a barrier between them and hosting their first event.
Why Should You Join SimGrid
SimGrid is a leading event-hosting platform designed for Sim Racing. You can manage your sim racing events for communities of any size and SimGrid caters for PC, PlayStation and Xbox racing games and simulators.
Last week SimGrid launched event hosting with no vetting process or wall to get over, meaning you can apply to host events and create your first event on the very same day. The process could not be easier. Fill out some general information like your community name and description, include your community logo and banner image, link all your social media platforms and you are ready to hit the track.
Organise Easily
The SimGrid platform makes it ridiculously easy to create and manage events and championships with a custom-built event management system created specifically for racing games.
- Automatic Leaderboards – Entry Lists, Results and Championship leaderboards are automatically created by SimGrid. Say goodbye to those Google Sheets!
- Open Or Restricted Registration – Open events up to the entire SimGrid community with more than 45,000 users registered or limit events to your own community followers via private links.
- Dynamic Entry List Creation – Entry lists are created automatically when drivers sign up to your events with segmentation by class and split is all taken care of, so you can easily import your entrylist.Json files to the site.
- Single Or Multi-Round Events – Create and manage championships of all kinds, from single events to multi-round endurance series with sign-ups allowing followers only, wild card registrations or full series entries only.
Host Events On Multiple Platforms
You can host events on the following platforms using SimGrid technology for PC, PlayStation & Xbox:
- Assetto Corsa Competizione – PC/PS/Xbox
- iRacing – PC
- rFactor 2 – PC
- Formula 1 2023 – Crossplay
- Gran Turismo 7 – PlayStation
Brand New Grid Rating Systems To Use
One of our most highly anticipated updates finally arrived in May after 5 months of hard work behind the scenes. You now have the ability to set rating limits on events and classes when creating new races and championships as a host. Finally, you can control who can enter a specific class or race depending on their ability as a driver.
Grid Ratings have the following levels:
- Rookie: 0-2249
- Seasoned Rookie: 0-2249 and 20+ races on the SimGrid platform
- Intermediate: 2250-3499
- Semi-Pro: 3500-4999
- Pro: 5000+
- Alien: 5000+ and 75+ races on the SimGrid platform
This means that if you are a community hosting events on multiple games a driver’s performance on one game/platform does not impact the GR they have on another.
