Yeah I tried to stay away but they had a special running & another member was telling about it so I gave it a go. It's pretty cool but would be expensive by the end. I'm gonna run my 3 months & cancel my subscription.

I might get a year of iracing for christmas........or a new computer (id rather get a new comp or at least new parts)

So far my sims will be: Shift, GTL, GTR, GTR2, Race 07, GTR evo, rfactor, and iracing?

Really I just want it for the Ultra realistic Road America

Its not! .. i'v had it for 2 months, and it simply runs out of fun for me INCREDIBLY quickly, although it is worth a go. as i can see why some people love it.

So I wouldn't recommend it, but it is worth a go to see. :)

Pro Series is quite tense. In the regular Daytona Prototype races you can get away with a spin. The gaps are large enough. But in the Pros, everyones running so close that if you have a spin you'll lose 10 places.

I'm currently sitting 30th in the road standings. Going to run the VIR race tonight.

I joined at the start of iRacing. Bad pings and a poor PC drove me away.

With the new Aussie servers, and a new PC I am now back with a 1 year subscription.
Trying to work through the lower ranks - currently a D class driver.

Enjoy road racing and Time Trials but will have a go at oval racing soon.

Road: Class D
Oval: Rookie

Road: I race Rookie Solstice and Spec Racer Ford.
Oval: I race Rookie Legends.

I LOVE iRacing. Best, most comprehensive sim I've ever driven. The only sims that have provided me even close to the same "seat of the pants" feel with great FFB and physics are Grand Prix Legends, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season and Richard Burns Rally. No coincidence that two of those sims -- GPL and NR 2003 -- were developed by many of the same team that works on iRacing.

You get what you pay for in iRacing. There's simply no comparison to GTR 2, any of the RACE games or rFactor. Live For Speed is a bit closer, but not that close.

Take care,
PK

It will probably be an a class car, so to race it, if you signed up today, the earliest would Season 1 2010, assuming you get the promotions nessacary to have a b class liscense with a safety rating above 4.0 by then, of course you can run it by yourself in test sessions when ever you want. Mazdas I believe you could be running as early as two weeks from now if you signed up now.

Trying to get some seat time in a pratice session with the Jetta using the 24DF, someone else also told me i could get in without all the content but I can't figure out how, unless the 24DF doesn't start til tomorrow, which I think I read it wont.

ellis
13 August 09, 19:59
24HDU is not a normal series. It is run 1 day a week and is only 1 car and 1 track. This week the car is the Jetta, and the track is Road America. Normally the 24HDF begins on midnight GMT on Thursday night (Friday morning) and runs till midnight GMT on Friday night (Saturday morning). But it has started early this week to allow people to run the Jetta.

In a normal series, for example, the Skip Barber, you only need to own the track of that specific week. If it is at Sebring, you only need Sebring, nothing else.

http://iracing.com/lotus_promotion.html

ya that is mis leading to the eye though.

You need to be a b license, which takes like 3 seasons. Or a c license maintaining a 4.0 safety rating.

further more, a purchase of tracks would be required at 15 - 25 $ us each track.

So unless you plan to run the lola on laguna seca over and over alone you have time and more money to invest. Because even if you own it you can't practice with other people at all until you have the correct license level.

I have B license in both oval and road.

Im aware of that, but you still get the car for free and a reduced 6 month price, if you bought the same thing w/o the deal, youd pay much more...

road america $25.00

limerock (cant remember this may have come with sub)

infineon $25.00

mazda ls (comes with sub)

milwaukee mile $20.00

silverstone $25.00

vir $20.00

summit point comes with sub

sebring $25.00

$140.00

SO far my total investment is around $400.00 us. and i still dont have about 16 of tracks and I have maybe 1/4 of the mods.

from jack b below relivant info- ''The standard offer is $60 credit with a $159 annual sub, so some of the tracks you listed would come with the $60 credit. Additionally, you get 10%, 20% etc discounts when you buy multiple items, so that $60 is actually even more than that.''


Is it worth it? After about a year now i would say it really depends on your own income and your own veiw on the sim.

I find that I wish I had waited a few years, it will be become cheaper and it will become much better. I personally feel as though i am paying for a high graphics beta.

I recently reinstalled gtr2 so I can do what i want when I want. Its about fun factor. To me. When I't comes time to renew in the winter I will most likely either think long and hard or bail out for a year unless the price comes down. I just can't justify the fun vs cost factor at this point.

If your someone thinking of becoming a pro racer in real life, or already one and want to practice certain tracks on your schedule then by all means its worth it, if your track is on there it will help you practice, especially road tracks.


just my 2 cents.

I'm doing the Radical trial right now, and I must say, this thing is absolutely EPIC. I fully see myself becoming a regular subscriber- though not necessarily owning to terribly much of the addon content.

Here's how I look at it. $20 a month MAX for a sub. $40 for a new car AND a new track. Grand total of $60, which is what alot of new games go for in stores (Though, a new PC game seems to still be at $50). I usually pick up a new game every month or so, so rather than doing that I'll likely stick with this, as it's a whole heck of a lot more fun than alot of the new games are these days.

Points racing is a waste IMO, as most won't be able to compete with the aliens/real guys. Honestly, I wouldn't buy every track in a series- only the ones I actually like. Sure you may have to race something else for a week or so, but there is enough to keep you entertained (As been said millions of times, the Legends are amazing :))

Well, that could be why you feel as if your playing a beta. There is no Lola. Unless Lola builds the Mazda's... But I dont think they do, or do they?

I'm still not sure which road I want to go down- Road or Oval. I just wish they would've included a halfmile (Say Stafford) in the basic subscription pack- as tracks of that style are all over in the Modified and Late Model series'.

Registered as Matt Orr, currently a Rookie in both series, though I do plan on having that changed ASAP. I plan on meeting up with some of you guys sometime and getting smoked by you all.

I still think the best way to do it is the free Radical trial, as you get both a car and track for free, AND a free month.

You can be C 4.0 in as little as 6 weeks though to runs B's if you time it right. Although, I'm an A and still run the D Class Skip Barber and C Class Mazda, because I really like them. Coming from GTR 2, I figured higher horsepower meant more fun, but I've been surprised.

I would have never in a million years bought a boxed sim called "The Skip Barber Simulator", but man is that car fun to drive and race. There are a lot of cars to try in iRacing. You might be surprised what you find out you enjoy. :-)

plus a year and I know it's deadly serious but it's a choice I made for myself when I was like 5 yrs. old and I actually have been doing it for 24 yrs. and I love what it that's why I have stuck with it. My avitar says it all........I do drive circles around alot of people and they laugh at me when I tell them what I do for a living untill they race me!!!! Then they have a little more respect for what I do!! As for these simulators they truly can help learn tracks in real life esp. when it's someones first time at the track in a different country where they would normaly not get a chance to go it's awesome. The fun factor
vs. $ for addons it's a hole in the pocket thing if you like it or absolutely love it....it all comes down to commitment.

"As for these simulators they truly can help learn tracks in real life esp"

He is also saying that if something is really worth doing you should be willing to pay the price, like he has done in investing his money into Racing

I don't feel threatened at all, I just think people who try to see iracing for what it isn't, have no valid opinion...Why the hell wold you invest $400 dollars in something, knowing exactly what it was, then bitch about "missing features" that were never supposed to be there in the first place.....and yes, you did poullute the thread with your opinion, go read the first post, all the way up to your post, unprompted, you decided that people wanted to hear why you don't like iracing....

$165 (Actually $180 as I did the free Radical trial, so got that car for free) for all the cars.
$485 (Or around $510 as I got Silverstone free also) for all the current tracks.

$165 (Actually $180 as I did the free Radical trial, so got that car for free) for all the cars.
$485 (Or around $510 as I got Silverstone free also) for all the current tracks.

So a whopping $650 to buy everything.

Ah yes, I forgot the original wave of invites got a few extra discounts...

Sorry but you don't own any of the content.

you rent it.

and when your sub runs out you wont be able to use it. :-)

current star madza schedule
star mazda car $15.00
road america $25.00
sebring
lime rock (comes with sub/i think)
infinoen $25.00
laguna (comes with sub)
milwalkee mile $20.00
silverstone $25.00
vir $20.00
summit point (comes with sub)
sebring $25.00

total : $155 NOT INCLUDING SUBSCRIPTION THAT IS EXTRA

star mazda is my personal favorite.
But i wish I could race it offline with AI with iracing but that is NOT available.
At this point also not avaiable:
-pit crew -tire changers
-any kind of car repair


You can buy one car and one track but if that track is not being raced that week in your series you can't use it in anything but testing sessions by myself.
I get bored with no AI and empty track.

I spent about $33 a month for the 1st year with my subscription. I've raced over 250 races and countless practices, qualys and test laps.

You don't mention any of the discounts and credits you get. The standard offer is $60 credit with a $159 annual sub, so some of the tracks you listed would come with the $60 credit. Additionally, you get 10%, 20% etc discounts when you buy multiple items, so that $60 is actually even more than that.

I'll be hard pressed to spend $33 a month in my 2nd year, just because I have a ton of content and will likely only buy another 3 or 4 cars and a few tracks. The first year is the expensive year.

I spend $20-30 a month on lots of things.

And you don't own cable tv, but people buy movies and watch it. If your sub runs out, you can't watch. Same as iRacing.

It's expensive compared to GTR 2, rFactor, but not compared to a couple of Starbucks coffees every week or cable tv. The business model freaks some people out, but it is what it is.

Lastly, they do have pit repairs, just not everything is repaired just yet.

I added this to my post jack, ''The standard offer is $60 credit with a $159 annual sub, so some of the tracks you listed would come with the $60 credit. Additionally, you get 10%, 20% etc discounts when you buy multiple items, so that $60 is actually even more than that.''

thanks that is relevant. as far as repairs go in trucks races I don't thing there is any? what repairs? I am sure there coming at some point I would hope.

If your wheel is crunched up into the wheel well, it pulls it out if you get a tow. so at least all 4 wheels will be on the ground, it still is pretty much shot, but it helps a little

If you let your subscription run out, will you lose all content forever? Or can you just re-up and have it all back?

When your subscription stops your account is only paused. When you come back you get all your content, and stats, and results back.

Dave, as many questions you've answered iRacing should be paying you. You singlehandedly pushed me over the edge over at GPG.

Well I am quite lucky. I finished 2nd in the Referral competition and therefore got a boat load of credits, of which I still have about $300 left. So whilst iRacing aren't paying me, I am getting all of the content for free at the moment. :mrgreen:

Just FYI - you can't drag a club down :) You cannot score negative points for your club. :D All points are positive! :mrgreen:

Thankfully! I see us club Celts are at the top of the league table David :)

Oval A and Road A license here. iRacing name Struan Robertson

Wish more people would race the Radical it's my favourite car.

I want transmission modelling and I want it now! :mrgreen:

Well if you could convince iRacing to give me the license! In all honesty though, After next month's promo and getting the proper rating I'll be there on the tracks I have (Which is stock only at this point, but I'll get round to it). I did some testing the other night and that car is awesome, right until you touch the curbs, but awesome none the less. My brains were mush and my underpants dirty. :laugh:

But, question!


Okay, right now I'm all set for my promo from D to C when the time comes. At that time I don't know where to go (With the new stuff coming it kinda confuses things). Basically, if I we're to raise my SR back to 4.0 C, race / TT the Radical, does that still fulfill my MPR for the promo to B?

So in theory if I need / want to I could still basically race the Skippy (it's a cheap enough series and fun), but when the time comes just fulfill the MPR with the Radical, or does racing up to the next license not fulfill that particular licenses MPR? Though, the Mazda is intriguing, but Open wheel isn't my thing if GT's are on the way. I'm confused now.

racing up does fulfill your MPR

I LOVE iRacing. Best, most comprehensive sim I've ever driven. The only sims that have provided me even close to the same "seat of the pants" feel with great FFB and physics are Grand Prix Legends, NASCAR Racing 2003 Season and Richard Burns Rally. No coincidence that two of those sims -- GPL and NR 2003 -- were developed by many of the same team that works on iRacing.

You get what you pay for in iRacing. There's simply no comparison to GTR 2, any of the RACE games or rFactor. Live For Speed is a bit closer, but not that close.

Take care,
PK

I added you as a "friend" Paul -- sounds like we've got similar backgrounds in sim racing, and I'm also running in the Rookie ranks (Rookie Solstice and Spec Racer Ford). My username on iRacing is "John Bodin."
