it is free and it is for the racer to use to network and to help promote themselves and interact with the fans as well as a you tube type video upload feature that uploads vids directly to the users page as well as to the video cataloge that is fully searchable. i understand that firefox is the prefered browser to use for uploading vids the last i heard as I.E. is having compatibility issues with racertube software. that should be overcome soon and i am sure users will be informed. it also gives the racer and fan controll over aspects of the site like the race results. users are encouraged to post results in the various catagories. any user is then able to update or correct those results as needed. also any user can go to any other users page via the "racers" tab and see what has been posted there. there is also a "skribble box" where anyone can write a quick note to that person. besides the race results and other page tabs there is also a group tab that lists groups that users can join to interact. the nor cal winged 360 group might be of interest to a few on this site. group members can then bulk message the group to get whatever word out they desire. like anything that is new, racertube is not perfect, and that is the great thing about being involved now at the beginning, to be able to get your input into the developers and be a part of the building of the site. the developers are very open to constructive feedback and are willing to listen to use to make the site work the best they can for everyone.
