With the iRacing 24 Hours of Nürburgring Special Event running May 1-3, finding endurance teammates is urgent. The usual problem: you need two to four drivers who want the same car, have similar skill levels, and can cover the same hours. A community developer just posted an update on a team-matching web app that makes this process significantly easier.

🎮 Community thread: Team-matching app update
The app works like a dedicated matchmaking tool for iRacing endurance racing. Drivers register and enter their car class, iRating range, and available hours. The system then matches them with other drivers looking for the same combination. The developer confirmed that registrations are going through and matches are being made. Furthermore, the app is free to use.
Other Ways to Find a Team
If you are still without a team, registering now is your most direct option. However, if the app does not produce a match quickly enough, the standard backup paths still work. The iRacing Forums team-finder threads go up before every major special event. They tend to have the fullest picture of who is still looking. Additionally, the iRacing Discord has dedicated team-matching channels. These get active in the 48-72 hours before an event opens. Posting in r/iRacing with your car preference and iRating also works well if you do it with enough lead time.
For drivers new to endurance team racing, the N24 in GT4 is the most forgiving entry point. The stint structure works well across time zones. Moreover, GT4 gives you more margin on a track where barriers arrive quickly. You do not need a professional setup sheet. A group of matched drivers who communicate clearly is enough to have a competitive race.
Endurance racing is one of the most rewarding parts of iRacing. It is also consistently undersold to drivers who only do sprint events. The N24 is the one to try it.
