iRacing - The Ultimate in Sim Racing

Wow that’s impressive!

Haha I’m stingy. Find it so difficult to splurge money on cars and tracks. But it will have to happen.

Definitely.

I really hope they have some kind of special on content during Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

On the iRacing forums they show which tracks will definitely be in the next season and which are voted on. But the forums aren’t loading for me today. Is it loading for you guys?

Yay! Bought two new cars and 4 tracks.

Boo! Internet is iffy and it’s taking forever to download.

I got an email about their Black Friday sale!!! It seems it is only subs are are discounted… Will have to see if they have any track and car sales on the actual day. I really hope so!

I hope so too! I’ve seen that some years they have where you can pay $75 for $100 credit. That would be great.

Only got a couple of laps in last night. Hoping to do a lot of time trials tonight. Really like the Formula Sprint. If it’s still going next season then I will concentrate on that. Since the tracks are free.

Also the Ferrari that I bought don’t sound so bad anymore. Don’t know why it sounded so bad when I tried it on the test server.

For class C I can recommend the Radical too. A nice transition to GTE.

What about the Simcube F3 series? Same car but at least it counts towards your B license?

I’d love to do that! But first have to get my C class license. I will also have to work out how much it will cost to get all the tracks that will be used.

But yes, would love to do the F3 Championship.

@Nosferatie will you continue trying out different races or will you stick to one or two series the next season?

Tricky question, I am keen to try some more series. Watched some Skip Barber racing last night on Twitch. Seems fun. I have the Dallara too so might come turn some laps with you.

I do find switching between some series affects other series. I do enjoy the GTE cars and now with the GT3 is also not bad. I’d like to improve in this series so getting the braking and clean acceleration with a heavy GT car is not always easy as Oltman would agree.

I don’t know. Like I said above the Radical is awesome fun, it just suits my driving and I find having to be super smooth with it translates to my GT racing. I won’t want to do too many series and I’m committed to GT.

Cool. :smile: . Let us know what you think of the different series as you try them.

I have to try the Radical.

I don’t know about you but I’m very excited about iRacing. I really dislike the pricing model but I find the game very addictive. It’s a great hobby.

Yeah it doesn’t feel like a game anymore. This past Sunday was great we’re in the morning we decided to do our first endurance race in a car I had never driven. My whole day was just getting ready for the race. It is up and down. That punt I got on Monza still haunts me, but had some good races since.

I am actually on a bit of a sabbatical this week :smiley: but am probably only going to focus on GTE and GT3 racing. Its the middle ground between fast and grippy Formula and prototype cars, and the slower MX5 and lower end.

I dont see many drivers (other than Alonso!!!) moving between disciplines too often. Will stick with what I love :smiley:

It’s a tough one! I want to race GTE in preparation for Le Mans but those F3 cars are so fun to drive. I’ll see what I can do. Maybe stick with F3 for one season and then move to GTE.

I think my new outlook on iRacing will also be to specialize in one type of racing for the next season. I only need one more race then I’m on a C class, and would like to focus on the multiclass GT racing scene, or any racing series in GT3 or GTE cars. For the new season that is all I’m going to be focusing on.

Oh noes, that’s most of you focusing on GTE. I must try the GTE in an actual race.

I was dumb. I bought Catalunya and only practiced on it. Never did a race. The racing is not so bad! Its a lot of fun! Don’t be scared!

Ugh, this week is just not going how I wanted it to. Didn’t even get time to switch on my pc last night.
