Just wanted to second this one. I don't race as much as a lot of guys (or
as I used to), but these days 99% of the racing I do is in R2P races. Good
crowd, with some fast guys and good competition throughout solid fields,
plus race stewards enforcing a solid set of rules. For example, you punt
anyone on lap one in a race and you get a drivethrough. Ignore it and poof,
you're gone. As a result of such, there's a total absence of the bozos and
wreckers you run into on open servers. A nice place to race, and at least
for me, the closest atmosphere to the old VROC days I've seen in a long
time. Strictly ISI-based sims, but that's about all there is at the moment
anyway with current content.
