It's not that rare. It just depends on where you look

I've talked about Race2Play here before. Not sure how many RAS'rs are
taking advantage of it. You can race with them for free, or subscribe
and get some added benefits.

I hadn't raced with R2P for several months due to other activities.

Last night I jumped in a Race2Play rFactor race using Formula BMW's at
Oran Park. It was awesome! 24 cars in the race driven by guys who
care abour driving well and showing courtesy on the track. Even the
guys at the back of the pack were pretty good. They weren't all that
slow, could actually drive the car, and exhibited some car control.

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.
