Round 5 of 13 · Zandvoort · Live Wed 19 Aug · 19:40 EDT / 23:40 UTC
🏁 QUEEN CITY FORMULA SERIES - Presented by Pippa's Cafe
Welcome to QCFS - Charlotte's home for Formula sim racing.
We race the track Wednesday. We watch the Grand Prix Sunday.
QCFS is a competitive iRacing F4 league following the real Formula 1 calendar. Every Wednesday night, our 20-driver grid races the same circuit the pros are running that weekend. By the time the Grand Prix airs on Sunday, our drivers know every corner, every braking zone, every line - because they've been there themselves.
The league was started by a group of Formula 1 superfans out of Charlotte, NC. We wanted a way to engage with the sport on a deeper level than just watching; and for some of us, working in it to understand the circuits, learn the rhythm of a season, and build a community around the racing we love. QCFS is the result.
