Requirements to Race
Before entering your first Heat 1 race, you need three things:
Racing Subscription
$10/month SimToCircuit membership. Includes 2 Official Competition entries per billing cycle.
Active iRacing Account
SimToCircuit runs its competitions inside iRacing. You need a separate iRacing membership, active and in good standing.
Stripe Connect Account
Required to receive prize payouts. Takes 5–10 minutes to set up — identity verification plus bank account routing. Set up before your first race so you're ready to collect when you podium.
Your First Race
Go to Schedule. Browse upcoming Heat 1 races. Pick one that fits your timezone.
Click the race, click "RSVP", confirm your spot. One of your 2 monthly entries is reserved.
Download the setup for that track. Practice in iRacing. Review the race rules.
Log into iRacing at the scheduled time. Enter the server. Qualify, race, finish.
Top 3 finishers advance to Heat 2 that race weekend. Your result is public on your profile.
Common Questions
Am I fast enough to race?
Everyone starts somewhere. Heat 1 is open to all Racing members. The worst that happens is you finish last and learn. That's how racing works.
Can I race more than twice a month?
No. 2 entries per month, always. Advancement entries (earned by podium finishes) are free and don't count against your monthly limit.
What if I miss a race I RSVPd for?
Your first three missed check-ins per season are free. Starting with the fourth, each no-show costs one of your monthly entries.
What if a race gets cancelled?
Very rare. If it happens, your entry is refunded.
