Sign up on the Registration page with your driver name, your email and (if the league asks for one) the sign-up code from an admin. We email you a 6-digit security code to check the address is yours. Then install the MSRUK Racing app for Windows: it does everything else for you.

One Windows app for the whole league: the website, your results uploaders (AMS2 and EA SPORTS WRC), Join race, league liveries and mods, the Team page, telemetry and the broadcast kit. It sits in the tray, starts with Windows if you like, and updates itself. Python and everything else it needs come with it, so there's nothing else to install.

AMS2: once, in Options > System, set Shared Memory to "Project CARS 2". That's what lets the app read the timing and your car. EA SPORTS WRC needs nothing: the app reads it as it is.

No password needed. On the Sign in box, enter your email and press "Email me my login link", then tap the link (or type in the 6-digit code from the same email). In the app, paste your login link once under the menu (Log in) and it logs you in to every game's site. You stay logged in, through app updates too.

The sign-in box sends at most 8 links an hour from one internet connection, to stop abuse. Wait an hour, or use an older login link email (those links don't expire). Nothing is sent if the email isn't signed up, so check you're using the address you registered with.

Races are set in UK time, and the site shows each start time in your own time with the UK time beside it, for example "Sun 8 Nov, 15:00 your time (20:00 UK)". Your time zone is picked up from your device when you sign up; you can change it under "Your time zone" in your profile. Emails, notifications and the app use it too.

Yes: press "Get it on your phone" and follow the steps to add it to your home screen, so it opens like an app.

That's fine: add your EA WRC name in your settings, separate from your AMS2 in-game name, so your stage times are matched to you even if you play EA WRC on another platform.

• 🌐 Website: The league website inside the app, logged in. Use the game buttons at the top (AMS2 / EA SPORTS WRC) to switch; the dot beside each turns green when the app is reading that game.
• Join race: Press it on race night: it waits for the league lobby to open, then starts the game and takes you in. In the hour before a race, a pre-race check makes sure you're entered, on the right car and licence, and that the app, game and PC are ready, and tells you if something needs sorting.
• Telemetry: Your car live on one screen beside the game: tyre temperatures, pressures and wear, brakes, fuel per lap and laps left, damage, your lap delta, sectors, a track map and the leaderboard. In races it also shows where you'd rejoin if you pitted now and the tyre choice for the track (how long each compound lasts and what it costs a lap). Fuel flashes red when you're running low.
• Team: You and your teammates' cars, live, with tyres, damage, fuel and the weather coming. Switch on Team boss mode to run the race from the pit wall: send pit plans and messages, and pop-ups appear over the game for your drivers. Press 📱 Tablet view and scan the QR code to put it on a tablet or phone beside your rig. Messages can appear on the league stream as team radio.
• 🔴 Live: Watch the league drivers who are streaming right now, and run your own OBS from the app (scenes, stream and record buttons, stream health and audio) if you stream your races.
• 📺 Broadcast: For the league's broadcaster: the auto director, the TV graphics for OBS (timing tower, driver cards, battles, pit stops, countdown, grid and podium screens), race photos, highlight reels and the car photographer.
• Behind the scenes: It sends your results, valid laps, real damage, tyres and fuel to the site by itself, installs league liveries and mods, puts your saved setups in the game and keeps itself up to date. It can sit in the tray by the clock and start with Windows.

On the Telemetry page during a race: "If you pit now" shows the place you'd come out in, how many places you'd lose and who'd be just ahead and behind. It learns how long a stop takes at each track from everyone's stops; until then it says "estimate". Once you're in the pit lane it shows where you're expected to come out.

Tyre choice on the Telemetry page (and under Fuel & tyre data on the race weekend) shows each compound's life in laps, its average lap over a stint and the time it costs a lap against the quickest. It comes from everyone's practice laps, so run a few laps on each compound in practice to fill it in.

On the Team page: one driver (or a team manager who isn't driving) watches every teammate's car live and sends pit plans and messages. Drivers get them as pop-ups over the game. Only your team sees your cars. Messages can appear on the league stream as team radio.

Yes: on the Team page press 📱 Tablet view and scan the QR code with a tablet or phone on the same Wi-Fi. It shows the same live page and can send pit plans and messages.

Pick your Nationality in your settings (Driver details). It shows as a flag on the broadcast name card, grid line-up and podium.

Press Join race in the app (or the Join button on the race page). It waits until the lobby is open on the league server, then starts AMS2 and takes you to it. Press S in that window to start AMS2 straight away for practice instead.

Shortly before the race start, by itself. Everyone entered gets a "the lobby is open" email and notification with the lobby name and password, and the league Discord gets a message. The lobby password is never posted on Discord.

Practice, qualifying and the race, as set on the race page. Practice and qualifying on race day count towards your car's condition (damage carries over), but only the race scores points.

When an admin opens a practice lobby (usually on the next race's track and cars), Join race takes you to it. Practice lobbies don't count for points, money or car condition.

AMS2 races and championships take 22 drivers (the server keeps 2 places for the broadcaster and race director). Once a race is full, the Enter button says so. EA SPORTS WRC rallies have no limit.

You're shown as DNF and don't score points, the same as in the game.

Everything, automatically, while the app is open: the full classification at the end of qualifying and the race (positions, laps, times, gaps, fastest lap, pit stops, DNF / DSQ), plus your valid laps for lap records and live timing.

It only takes one driver in the lobby for the whole result to arrive, but the more the better: each app sends its own copy and the site keeps the most complete one, so a crash or early quit never loses the result. On race night the league's own server sends the official result too.

By your in-game name (the name the game shows for you). The app fills it in the first time it sends anything; you can change it in your settings.

No. Laps only count when the game says they were valid (no track limits or cutting).

Times arrive by themselves while the app is open. If one goes missing, press "Submit screenshot" in the app (or Ctrl+Shift+S, or F9 in game then pick the picture): it sends a screenshot with the rally, stage, car and your name for an official to check.

While a rally is running your overall is the total of the stages you've driven. DNF only shows once the rally is complete and you didn't finish every stage.

Approved liveries are installed by the app on every driver's PC, so everyone sees your car in your colours. It checks every 10 minutes. Restart AMS2 to see new ones, and pick that car's livery slot.

If a championship uses a mod car or track, it's on the app's Mod content card: install it with one click. The check before each race warns you if you're missing one.

You earn credits from races and sponsors and buy cars in the car market (Driver purchase, or Team purchase for your team). Your car's condition comes from the real damage recorded in each race weekend (or each rally stage) plus the distance you drive: worn cars cost more to run, up to 50% more, and sell for less, so repair them in the garage.

Every car keeps its history: owners, distance, races or rallies, wins, podiums, fastest laps or stage wins, punctures and repairs. It's shown in the garage and when a car is sold on.

The Team tab shows your car while you drive: tyre wear, temperatures and pressures, brakes, damage, fuel and systems, with a strategy estimate (will the tyres and fuel last?). When your teammate is in the same race with the app, their car shows too, side by side.

Only drivers on your team, and only while you're on track. Switch off "Share my car with my team" at the top of the Team page if you'd rather not.

A teammate who isn't driving can join as a spectator and tick Team boss mode. They see each team car, with a suggested pit stop (which lap to box on and how much fuel to add), and can send pit plans and quick messages like "Box this lap" or "Save fuel".

They pop up at the top of your screen over AMS2, and can be read out loud. You're reminded again on the lap to box and as you enter the pit lane, so you can set the pit menu. Pop-ups need AMS2 in borderless windowed mode; in full screen or VR, turn on "Read them out loud" on the Team page.

Yes: the Broadcast tab in the app is open to everyone. It has an auto director that picks the cameras, OBS overlays (timing tower, battles, "as it stands" standings), a control panel on your phone and a commentator view.

Photos taken during a broadcast are saved on your PC. Only admins and the race crew (broadcaster and race director) can post them to the site, because they become the race report's pictures.

By finishing position among league drivers (F1-style 25, 18, 15, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, 1 unless your admin has changed it), plus bonus points for pole position and for the fastest lap in the race. Guests in the lobby don't take points off anyone.

A weighted score (3 points per race win, 2 per podium, 1 per fastest lap) compared with whoever's top of the league. The best driver shows 100; everyone else is relative to them.

Drivers are numbered by that same score, best driver as Car 1. Until anyone has raced and scored, the order follows who signed up first.

Yes: each championship has a Share button for Facebook (or copy the link). It shows a picture of the standings.

Before a race, pick who you think will finish 1st, 2nd and 3rd (only 1st is required). You get 1 point for each position you call correctly once the race is finalised.

After a race is finalised, everyone gets one vote for whichever driver impressed them most. Bragging rights only, no points.

Tap the bell at the top of the site: it takes you to your notifications (race results, lobby open, messages and more).

In your settings. It only affects new results from then on: it won't rename anything you've already driven under your old name.

Yes: upload it on the car photo page. It shows on your driver card, and if you win a race it becomes the picture on that race's news write-up.

The all-time fastest valid lap at each track, from any session, and who holds it. Beat one and it's usually called out on Discord.

The driver you've raced head-to-head the most, with your win/loss record against them.
