Global Racing League
Five series. One standard.
Race Hard.
Race Clean.
Welcome to the premier iRacing league. Hard racing. Good people. No drama.
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.
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.

Pro & Am Classes
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 a dedicated stewarding team that ensures clean, competitive racing through fair and unbiased reviews of incidents. Our penalty system is firm but straightforward—we want drivers who race hard but respect each other.

Landon, lead admin for our Americas Porsche Cup Challenge series, has spent two years running post-race recaps on Thursday nights and learned iRacing's camera tool mostly by trial and error. Enough drivers asked how he does it that he made this video. He explains groups versus cameras, how to build and save your own shots, what Save Car and Save Track actually store, how shot ranges drive automatic switching, and why a cheap USB controller makes replay work so much smoother. He also flags the bugs and confusing UI that trip people up. If you record recaps or steward incidents, it's worth the time.
