Race Details

We are very excited to announce the initial details and schedule for our 2026 VIP Donor Only Race on May 17th, 2026

  • We will broadcast the race live on the CMS youtube and/or twitch channels
  • We will have an amazing trophy for the race winner
  • We will be making a big deal out of this event with social media posts, website stories and discord announcements all week leading up to and after the race!

This years race will use rFactor 2 for the first time!

To race you will need a copy or rFactor 2 on steam, and the GT3 cars from our friends, and partners at Storm Gang Simulation.  You can get the mod at the following link and the Bahrain DLC Track.  Once you have these two items you will also need to apply a special add on for the track, which can be downloaded from this link.  The track add on makes the grip levels and times more realistic and is also provided by SGS.

Please note when you go to the download link for the SGS Mod you will be taken first to an optional PayPal/Venmo donation page.  You are not required to make a donation to get the mod, however it is highly encouraged to support the great work of these fellow CMS members and amazing mod team.  Every amount no matter how large or small helps them give us great racing content.  So please consider supporting them.
