    Hi - sorry if I'm asking an obvious question, but I'm new to RaceRoom.

    I would like to be able to run separate accounts for my son and I, so we can each play the game on my laptop at different times, and play under our own names. I have set up different profiles, but I can't find an option to switch user in game.

    Thanks

    you need to run each account on a seperate steam account. this means that when you switch steam account it will also switch raceroom account.

    @shardshunt is correct. The game associates the RaceRoom account you use to login with the currently active Steam account, so if you want to use several RaceRoom accounts on one account you will need to have separate Steam accounts as well.

    Thanks both. Does that mean that any cars or tracks that I buy would also be only linked to one account, so I could potentially need to buy the same car or track for each of us?
