What you get

Built for people who keep score

Everything you need to race competitively, with nothing you have to buy first.

  • Ranked ELO rating

    Every race moves your number, whether you win, lose or retire. The whole finishing order is rated at once, and a race is exactly zero sum.

  • Skill based splits

    Fifteen minutes before the start the field locks and gets divided into skill grouped splits. Split 1 is the fastest grid.

  • Real racing calendars

    Season championships run on the actual F1 and GT calendars. The grand prix rounds run full distance: 305 km, six rounds a year.

  • One click to join

    Every event lists exactly what a race needs and where to get it, and a live race opens straight in Content Manager.

  • Human race stewards

    Report a driver and a person rules on it. Only a steward can lower your safety rating, because the server reports contact but never assigns blame.

  • Champions every season

    Every daily series crowns a champion each quarter, and the top three of every season are entered in the Hall of Fame for good.

Four steps

How it works

From sign up to a signed result. Nothing to install before step one except a game you already own.

  1. Step 01

    Sign in

    Steam, Google or email. Steam links your account to the ID the race server reports every result by.

  2. Step 02

    Get a rating

    Everyone starts at 1500 with a rookie licence, so there is always a grid you can enter on day one.

  3. Step 03

    Pick a race

    Open the paddock, read the event page and register. Something starts every 45 minutes.

  4. Step 04

    Race and get scored

    Join, race, and your rating, safety rating and championship standings all update automatically.

The one-way rule

Clean racing raises it.
Only a steward can lower it.

The server reports contact. It never decides who was at fault. A person reads your report and rules on each driver involved separately, so a wrecker and the driver they hit are judged apart, and whoever was clean walks away having lost nothing.

Where you stand

Rankings for every driver

Two independent disciplines, sports and formula, with eight tiers 400 points apart. A tier describes where you stand. The licence decides what you can enter.

Questions

Do I need to buy anything?

No. You need Assetto Corsa, which you almost certainly already own, and a Steam account we can check ownership against. Both entry series run stock content deliberately, so a driver who owns nothing but the base game can race on day one.

Why sign in with Steam?

The dedicated server attributes every result by SteamID, so that ID is what links a race result to your account. Google and email sign in both work too, and you link Steam when you are ready to race.

Will I get thrown in with aliens?

No. Fifteen minutes before the start the field locks and everyone is ranked on that series rating, then divided into skill grouped splits. You race people who are as quick as you are, which is the whole point of having a rating.

Someone wrecked me. What happens?

You file a report and a steward rules on each driver involved separately. If you are cleared you lose nothing. A penalty moves safety rating only and never touches championship points.

Is there anti cheat running on my machine?

No. Content is checked on the server and the grid is locked to registered accounts, so there is no spare seat to walk into and nothing of ours running in the background on your PC.

Can I run my own league on this?

Not yet. Every race on GRIDLANE is run by GRIDLANE for now, and other communities cannot host their own series on it.

Free to race, 1500 to start, and a grid you can enter today.
