Iracing

Anyone here on iracing ?

Greatest racing sim of all time, nothing else comes close (and i've tried them all !).

Its main weakness has been its tyre model (netkar pro currently has the best tyre model) but iracings long awaited new tyre model (which has taken 3 years to build) is due out soon and will take the sim to a new level of realism !

They just signed a deal with mclaren as well which means they will be using a very similar telemetry system to what real life f1 teams use !

:cool:

Yeah I'm on iRacing. I mainly race ovals since I'm worse then hopeless at the Road Racing. Having great fun with the Trucks at the moment though.

I personally think it's biggest weakness is the fact you can't just jump in a ranked race when you feel like it but that's the only way it can work I suppose.

Yep, just got my D license but staying with the Mazda MX-5 in the nvidia cup for at least another season or two i think, and yes, it is very addictive.

But yes, best sim ever, can't wait to try the Nationwide with the new tyre model as soon as it's out

Why not add your names to the friends list in the above thread (EDIT: page 14) and we can all by friends. Sounds wrong doesn't it?

Racing in the V8 supercar series this season, it's a beast and loads of fun

Not got a steering wheel so no point trying.

Just got into the Skip Barber and loving every moment.

I think its main weakness is the pricing, but it is what it is, and I'm happy to pay the premium for the quality of racing that goes on.

Look forward to the new tyre model as well. Will be interesting to see how the cars feel.

Took advantage of the three months for two offer a couple of months back. Honestly pretty much a waste of money from my point of view, I've hardly played it. Only been in one online race as well.

It's good, but there's no way I'm paying for a subscription and then paying to get more content as well. Other people will be prepared to, but I'm not. Back to Richard Burns Rally and GTR Evolution for me.

I had to try it though, I've been wanting to for ages. Shame it left me thinking "Meh", really.

I no what your saying. I bought 1 month about a year ago and thought this is a bit rubbish. Now I have the 3 months for price of one, I decided to buy the skippy and its brilliant.

Don't think it helps that the rookie cars you get for free are quite boring to drive IMO.

You cant go wrong with Richard Burns though
