Comparison

RaceLink vs SimGrid

SimGrid is a multi-sim marketplace where drivers browse events and join communities hosted on SimGrid, with more than 3,000 communities on the platform. RaceLink is software for running your own league. If you want an audience handed to you, SimGrid is the stronger choice.

Pick SimGrid if

You want to be found. Their directory brings drivers who have never heard of your league, and you are happy for your events to live on their platform under their rules.

Pick RaceLink if

The drivers already exist, usually in your Discord, and you want your own league page, your own entry fees in your own Stripe account, and no platform rules about how you collect money.
