Sim racers - what are you running?

I find no enjoyment in racing for the sake of racing. I'm in it for the competition. I've now got to the point (3.3k iRating) where every race is hard. The reward in doing well is superb. Then add the team events into the mix. Prepare together, race together. Its amasing. Its as close to actual racing as I'll ever get and I love it.

As an example. I did a 160 minute multiclass race on Saturday morning. I started 8th and ended up winning (by a mere 16 seconds). I was cooked afterwards. Roasting, in need of a shower (I run my FFB high) but I was a happy man.

Really happy it works for you, and if I was a more serious racer, then i'd possibly consider the pay to play model..

However i'm not sure i'd recommend iRacing to others, unless I was convinced they had the same attitude, as pay to play just for a bit of fun, is not something I could recommend.

As long as we're all enjoying this sim racing hobby at whatever level, then all good!!

My first year iRacing subscription was £12 off of Steam coz I wasn't sure I'd like it (How wrong I was). Free 12 month subs can also be had for signing up to some sim racing newsletters.

Run the rookie series (All cars and tracks are included in the free/cheap sub) and see how you like it. If you dont then nothing is lost. If you enjoy it then watch any 1 of the 1000 Youtube videos on how to spend your monies efficiently.

There is no debating though, one can spend a large chunk of hard earned on this service.
