About SDR
We take the racing seriously. Ourselves? Not so much.
Our Story
SDR started with a handful of mates who liked sim racing but had no time for the chest-beating, mic-screaming nonsense that infects most competitive lobbies. The pitch was simple: race hard, take the piss in the paddock, go again next week.
What started as a weekend habit has turned into a proper community. We run our own leagues on SimGrid, stream the big races on Twitch and YouTube, and somehow keep the wheels on. The trophies are nice. The race-night group chat afterwards is better.
Whether you've got an iRating north of 3000 or you've just unboxed your wheel, there's a slot on the grid for you. We're competitive when it counts, helpful when it matters, and daft most of the rest of the time.
Fancy helping run the show as well as race in it? We're taking team applications.
What We're About
Clean Racing
Hard but fair. Divebombs are for ovals; in the paddock we keep it respectful and save the venting for team radio.
Good Vibes
Life's too short for shouty lobbies. We're here to race, laugh, and make friends.
Community First
Everyone's welcome. Rookies, aliens, and everyone wedged in between. We trade setups, point out where you're losing time, and have a laugh while we're at it.

Servers, streaming gear, and the odd round of digital pints aren't free. If SDR's added something to your week, chucking a few quid in the grinder helps us put on bigger and better events.

On protests, supporting changes when a steward gets to your ticket and nothing else. Every protest is judged on its evidence, whoever filed it and whatever they pay.
Where supporters end up
Supporting opens rooms in the Discord. Three of them, and one is open to everybody whether they pay or not.
Patreon Pitlane
#patreon-pitlane· every supporterThe supporters’ room. Behind-the-scenes notes, early word on what is coming, and somewhere to talk to the people running it.
The War Room Roundtable
#the-war-room-roundtable· top-tier supportersWhere league rulings get talked through before they are made. If you want a say in how SDR is run rather than just hearing about it afterwards, this is that room.
The Wall of Meat
#wall-of-meat· everybodyThe honours board. Anyone who’s chipped in or gone out of their way for the grid gets their name up where the paddock can see it.
Right then, fancy a go?
