Ok so you bought that bright shiny new game and unwrapped it like a kid at Christmas, you install it boot it up and play for a couple of days. if your anything like me after a couple of days of getting used to the controls and the cars in question you kind of feel like you want to play with other people.
Most games these days of course make that easy for you with hosted sessions on public servers which let's face it can be a hit and miss affair (More Hit Than Miss it has to be said ). We have all done it, got ourselves settled in front of our monitors logging into a server where you know there is a 90% chance you won't see the end of the race due to someone who thinks they are the next Michael Schumacher diving down the inside of you on the first corner like it was a life and death thing only to take out your back end spinning you into the rest of the pack.
Of course young Schumacher carries on with the rest of the war torn field while you languish in the pits most of the race getting those wheels aligned again.Just how do we get away from these people? where do we go for some close up racing that does not involve making an unscheduled pit stop every race start?. Well most of us go in search of a team site where you can play with a handful of like minded people and have the fun you deserved before young Schumacher spoilt it for you.
These team sites are all very well and good but they end up being so limited because they are made up of such a small number of people. They also tend to focus on one game only which means if you're a game hopper like me you end up being a member of more than one site in the attempt to have a good solid racing experience.
So what else is there in the big scheme of things you may ask yourself? RaceDepartment is one place that should come to mind because this is your heaven from those pesky Schumacher's but it's so much more than that. For a start RaceDepartment has more than 20 supported games and a myriad of platforms to play on. Here at RaceDepartment we pride ourselves on our driving prowess and to that end anyone wishing to race with us must hold a license to drive.
Now this license is free to anyone but failure to race cleanly and fairly will result in suspension of the license or a ban from racing with us altogether. This really helps us in the fight to stop poor driving standards and keeps RaceDepartment as the Number One site for all things racing. We currently have more than 147,000 members so you'll certainly have company.
It doesn't stop there, Racedepartment holds regular league events across a multitude of formats which anyone with a license can sign up and take part in.
