Driver and Organizer roles
What each account type can do and which one to choose.
In RaceControl every account has a role, chosen when you register. There are currently two: Driver, for people who race, and Organizer, for people who run events. Your role decides which menus you see and what you can do.
Driver
Joins championships
The role for racers. Example: Luca (LR_Racing) races in a GT3 championship on Saturday nights.
- discovers championships and ForFun events open for registration;
- registers and tracks the status of their registrations;
- sees their upcoming rounds, results and standings;
- checks their personal stats;
- receives messages from organizers.
Organizer
Organizes championships · called "Manager" in the registration form
The role for people who run a league or a server. Example: Giulia (GiuliaB_RaceControl) organizes a team's season.
- everything a Driver can do, Driver area included;
- configures the ACC server and manages its files via FTP;
- imports session results;
- creates championships and ForFun events: rounds, entry lists, scoring models;
- manages driver registrations and publishes standings and results.
What changes in the menu
The easiest way to tell your role is the top bar. A Driver only sees the Driver area; an Organizer also sees the management tools.

Which one should I choose?
- Do you just want to race in other people's championships? Choose Driver.
- Do you run a server, a league or a team and want to organize races? Choose Manager (Organizer): you can still register and race like any other driver.
The role is chosen once, when you register, and cannot be changed from your profile.
If you later need the other role, ask an administrator, for example on our Discord channel (link at the bottom of the page).
