    I wanna do some online racing, but my time is limited. I'm usually on between 7 to 11 est time, but it always seems like a ghost town.

    If you're looking for US PUB races we've a pretty good steam group Called ESR (Eat Sleep Race).
    Gatherings are usually from Friday to Sunday (9PM CST) and we do 2/3 races per meeting.
    Most of the times it's 8-9 from us (members) + 4-5 joiners, so we've a fair grid.
    Send me a friend request on Steam if you're interested!
    Cheers

    R3E has too few members from North America. That’s the reason why R3E needs more drivable US-Tracks. There are a lot of racers in the USA who wanna drive on their own home tracks.

    I'm on the east coast, in the same situation. Friend me, Nino Scholz. If you can log on before 7pm, you can normally find some packed servers due to EU prime time. But yeah, once it hits say 10pm, lucky to find a server with more than 2 drivers. Sometimes if i'm on at that time i'll just pick an empty server I like and hope someone joins. Did that last night on MId Ohio and had a nice race with a friendly guy.

    And join the Eat Sleep Race group SKRO mentioned, its great and low maintenance.

    Will send out requests to everyone in this thread tonight when I log on. Thanks for sharing your input guys, we can have a pretty decent grid size if we all link up at the same time.

    My home track is NJMP I'm actually suprised iracing has it though it's a tech track. It's pretty awesome to drive the virtual version of a track you've really turned laps on. I don't see any other Sims getting it since no major series really run there anymore unfortunately. Was sad to see the now Tudor series leave after 2 or 3 races there. Sorry for getting off topic.

    ESR does have a great bunch of guys who race in their group. I tried racing Suzuka with them. Unfortunately, I arrived late and didn't get to practice. I'm not familiar with the track. Going to try to get into more races with the club.
