Welcome To FIRST-Racing.net!

Here at FIRST-Racing.net you will find the finest PC auto racing simulations ever produced. And, you will not only have the opportunity to drive your favorite race cars on your favorite race tracks but you'll also be able to race wheel to wheel with drivers from all over the globe.
FIRST-Racing.net was founded in June of 2004 by John Henry, principal owner of the Boston Red Sox, and David Kaemmer, co-founder of Papyrus Racing Games. They set a very simple mission; to produce the finest PC auto racing simulations ever. Regardless of your past involvement in auto racing or auto racing simulations, you'll be able to do it all at FIRST-Racing.net. You will be able to learn the basics through a FIRST-Racing.net racing school and go on to win races in a FIRST-Racing.net sanctioned race series.
After forming the Federation of International Racing and Sanctioning Trust, the FIRST in FIRST-Racing.net, Henry and Kaemmer set to work by acquiring the rights to the award winning source code that Kaemmer helped to create at Papyrus Racing Games. An avid participant in the auto racing simulation community, Henry explains his partnership with Kaemmer and the subsequent launch of FIRST-Racing.net. "Dave Kaemmer is a legend in the world of racing simulation. When it comes to producing realism in the driving experience, no one does it better. He has a proven track record in creating the best racing simulations ever produced. His Grand Prix Legends and NASCAR Racing 2003 titles are the standard by which all auto racing simulations are judged. FIRST-Racing.net will create the next generation of what is already a highly sophisticated and exhilarating platform for open-wheel and all other forms of auto racing."
For Kaemmer, an accomplished open wheel racer in his own right, this is the next step in his 15 year career in auto racing simulation. "No one else is making true cost-effective PC-based auto racing simulations that are useful and effective for training real race car drivers. The Papyrus simulation code is state of the art and has already helped hone the skills of quite a few professional and thousands of amateur racers. Working with us at FIRST-Racing.net are former Papyrus engineers and production staff who collectively have over 50 years of experience in producing the world’s leading racing simulations for personal computers. FIRST-Racing.net will deliver the next step."
And, that next step will incorporate new technology to heighten the realism as well as a sanctioning body to launch a truly global online sport. FIRST-Racing.net...GET READY!
