    Note you must be registered at http://cmsracing.com to get access to the passwords for the races. If you are not familar with CMS, we are one of the longest running sim racing leagues on the internet, established in 1999, and a large community of great people which makes it work very well.





    Get ready… it's going to be a Formula Frenzy!

    Our upcoming Fun Series will be filled with opportunities to try out 3 different open wheelers using rFactor 2.

    For our first race at Lime Rock we will be matching our wits against the temperamental Skip Barber Trainer (National). Can you handle this beast?

    Our next 4 races will all be in the Formula 2, giving us plenty of time to get acquainted with these fun open wheelers.

    For our Series Finale we will jump into the Formula Renault 3.5 for a 45 minute race in Malaysia.

    Who's It For?

    The Fun Series is for anyone who's got a Tuesday evening free but doesn't have time to practice or prepare for yet another league race. There are no points scored in the Fun Series so you can use this opportunity to try out rFactor 2 and some of it's available mods and tracks.

    If that isn't tempting enough, it's also a great opportunity to get to know some more of your fellow CMS racers and just have a good time.

    When Is It?

    The Fun Series is held on every other Tuesday evening beginning January 8th.

    Jan. 8th -- Skip Barber Trainer @ Lime Rock

    Teamspeak

    Remember, the Fun Series is about Fun! As such, many of us tend to get chatty and use Teamspeak to communicate before and during the race. It's a great way to get to know your fellow racers and keep it light.

    Sure thing. I lost a rear wing early :( Tried to stick it out, but it was a lost cause. Looking forward to racing the Formula 2
