Global Racing League

What We're All About

Our goal at the Global Racing League is to provide a community racing experience unmatched on iRacing. We welcome drivers of all skill levels who value clean, competitive racing and want to trust their competitors—and be trusted in return.

Learning and growth are at the heart of GRL. Our league fosters an environment where racers can teach, learn, and improve together without the unnecessary pressure, expectation, or toxicity often found in competitive settings. While we embrace the thrill of racing, our priority is respect on the track.

We encourage smart, calculated racing—not reckless moves that end a competitor’s race. The ultimate goal? Crossing the finish line together, pushing each other to improve while maintaining the integrity of competition.

Formats

While all of our series follow the official iRacing schedules, our race formats offer much more variety. Throughout the seasons, we feature three distinct formats with slight variations in race length

Classic Heats

Two-race format: Qualifying sets the grid for Race 1, with the top 8 reversed for Race 2.

Super Heats

Three-race format: Qualifying sets the grid for Race 1, the top 4 are reversed for Race 2, and the top 8 are reversed for Race 3.

Endurance

A single 40–60 minute race with mandatory pit stops.

Categories

We divide drivers into Pro and Am classes based on their pace rather than race results. This ensures that each driver competes against others with similar speed and skill levels, creating a more balanced and competitive championship experience.

Stewarding

We have independent stewarding teams from other series to ensure fair and unbiased reviews of incidents. All Lap 1 incidents are automatically reviewed by our stewards, and for anything else, drivers can submit a protest for review. Our penalty system is firm but straightforward—we want drivers who race hard but respect each other, and we’re happy to give chances to those willing to learn from mistakes. However, we won’t tolerate reckless driving. Thankfully, we’ve built a community of racers who truly embody the spirit of clean, competitive racing
