SIM500 HALL OF FAME
ABOUT SIM500
Sim500, founded in 2012, has established itself as a trailblazer in the world of sim racing. Originating from the Papyrus NASCAR 2003 sim, the league quickly evolved into the premier destination for virtual racing enthusiasts. What set Sim500 apart was its visionary approach, introducing a level of competition and camaraderie that had yet to be witnessed in the realm of league racing.
The league's standout event, "Monday Night Money," played a pivotal role in catapulting Sim500 onto the global stage. This unique event attracted top-tier talent within the sim racing community, turning the league into a hub where team owners would scout and sign some of the best sim racers. The stakes were high, with races offering substantial cash prizes, and the premier cup series became a battleground for skilled drivers vying for glory and thousands of dollars in rewards. Sim500 became synonymous with high-stakes, high-quality virtual racing.
Throughout its early years, Sim500 became a home for many prominent names in sim racing, attracting a community of passionate and skilled drivers. The league's commitment to providing a platform for talent development and fostering a competitive spirit contributed to its growing popularity.
After a brief hiatus, Sim500 made a triumphant return on November 29th, 2017, this time embracing the iRacing platform. The transition marked a new era for the league, expanding its reach and offering an even more realistic and immersive racing experience. Since its revival, over 1,225 drivers have taken the virtual track, making at least one career start and contributing to the league's vibrant and diverse community.
Sim500's legacy is not just about racing—it's about pushing the boundaries of what is possible in the virtual realm, creating a space where passion meets competition.
