Hot Laps on a Cold Day

Nice read. I’m confused though – was this written by someone at rightfootdown.com or by you guys?

It was written by Scott Carter from rightfootdown.com. Should be clearer now.

you clowns talk like it’s the only simulator around. LOL.

10-4 bah. They think thier the best, but I’d only give them a 5 out of 10.
They have no control over thier game yes I said game . It’s not a sim,
till they get every one useing a wheel and pedals for starter.
It started out that way, but they opened it up to anything and every thing to get more member and I think it back fired.
Iracing went down hill. and most have left, but they still use your name to say you are a member. To keep thier total membership higher then it is.
Thier was so much may ham and uncontrolled racing going on that you were unable to really race
and protest someone never did a thing to clean up the racing.
There use to be a joke about the one who you ‘d sent the protest to.
But I’ll keep this post clean. Witch there were a hole lot of member that didn’t do. with thier words or thier action in iracing.
For the money one must spend to be in iracing it isn’t controlled buy the rule book that iracing put in place. If I’m going to be in a game that I spend 1,000 + dollor on they need to follow thier own rule’s.
That what I think, and I have it all on file.
I left for all the above reason, and a hole lot more that I won’t air in this blog.

They were unable to control the member’s that were there and many were under age and useing
some one elses name. which in the rule book said you were able to do this.
Most of the rule book was trun to make it to thier adventage, and not to the member’s.

The usual iRacing misinformation by those that never got out of rookie series.
iRacing doesn’t cost $10000. Not even close. Even if it did have enough content to cost $1K you are not obligated to buy every single track and car.

As far as not being the only simulator, that’s entirely true, not it ever pretended to be. Since I own every single computer based “Simulator” out there, I think I am better qualified to make a comment on iRacing than those that can barely run Forza on a console.
I love GTR2 and GTL, but good luck finding a race without planning 2 weeks in advance. The same with rFactor. iRacing biggest strength is to be able to race or practice against real people pretty much 24/7. Sure, not all series are so busy, but if racing is what you ant, iRacing has it.
I am still trying to schedule my first GTR2 race of the year.

Accuracy? iRacing is the most accurate sim out there. The tracks are unbelievable, the cars almost as good. Try brands Hatch on Race 07 then try the iRacing one. I bet you couldn’t even tell they were the same track.

What about all the nonsense with Safety Rating, the protest system, etc? All I know is that I Have been racing the Star Mazda series for 3 seasons now, and you couldn’t find a better bunch of guys. If someone wrecks you, they wait for you to re-enter the track, most folks are polite and mature (some of the guys racing with us are in their 70′s and many are over 40).

I think the largest group of iRacing discontents are those that have been racing in their little online leagues where they were “it” for so long, then they come to iRacing and most of the guys hand their ass to them and they don’t like it.

The bottom line is this: if you are an online racer, iRacing has the best racers and the most regular races around. Once you have bought the tracks and your favorite cars, you are set. All you spend is less than $10 a month.

The day when I can go online and find at least an interesting practice in rFactor, GTR2, NKpro I will change my mind and suspend my subscription. For now, I’ll stay at iRacing where the racing is fine.

No one said $10,000 , but now that you got it going I’ll set the number up for you.
As for the rookie part I had my A lic. and 12 Champinships in 4 diffrenert car’s. In racing or TT.

Marco you must have started in the later year’s of iracing.Two or more year’s ago you had to pay $20 to $25 for each track and the same for each car. So that was$ 275 for all cars and then another $500 for all the tracks that they had before they started to drop the price on everything. Then you still have to pay $20 a mo.if you piad mo. to mo. So that $240 a yr. So the 1st yr. I was thier it cost me 1,015 for cars, tracks and membership. Today it’s $15 for each car and then another $15 for each track. So thats about $600 for all the tracks and $285 for all the cars.Then I think you can go for the mo. to mo. now for $11. So add all this up it’s still $885 for your 1st yr. if you buy all content
.
Yes you can only race the rookie cars and tracks, only to pay the mo. to mo. membership. But that is still $11 a mo. unless you pay by the yr. you’ll still pay at lest $84 a yr.

Yes they have deals going on and you can buy some of all this for a little less money. But in today world most don’t have the money to send for all this, so they end up running only the rookie cars and tracks. Most unhappy. That they weren’t told everything that they had to pay before they started Iracing.
As for the age of whos on iracing I’d say less then 20% are over 40 and about 40% of iracer’s are there to race by the rules, iracing has in thier rule book.

The rules that iracing but in place are not followed by a large % of the racer, and when you protect someone iracing didn’t do anything.

Well I’ve said enough for now but if you’d like I can write more about this at later date.

Road racing might be ok in your opinion Marco, but the oval racing has the largest group of wreckers and child like adults ever assembled in sim racing history/
