Yesterday iRacing finally announced a proper demo or trial to allow people to try the sim out without having to purchase a month of the service.
If anyone is on the fence about giving it ago there's no better time than now. You can sign up for the demo month, immediately cancel auto-renew (if you wish) and continue to use the sim until the month is up (i.e. cancelling auto-renew doesn't cancel the account immediately).
The two new codes (which can be redeemed at www.iracing.com) are
PR-GPL - aimed at drivers who enjoyed Grand Prix Legends, this code includes all the cars and tracks that you get with the basic subscription, but also includes the Skip Barber and Virginia International Raceway (arguably the best car in the sim, with the best track, 7 circuit layouts!)
PR-NR2003 - more for oval racers, this gives you the basic content as above, but also the Late Model oval racer and Martinsville oval track.
Finally there is one other code which has been going around for a while now, sponsored by Radical UK. PR-RADICAL-ONE-MONTH gets you the basic content with the Radical SR8 car and Silverstone. The only issue is that the Radical car is quite a high level car in the sim, so it takes a long time to earn the licence to actually race it with other drivers.
The best deal is probably the PR-GPL code, because the VIR track gives you so many circuit variations and the Skip Barber is an excellent drive.
Like most sims, steering wheel is required.
