Its not like It'll break the bank. Compare it to any other hobby and it instantly becomes cheaper. Like combat robotics, buying consoles, RC Cars, or real racing. And with basic paint skills you can pay for your iRacing easily. I've bought a lot of things from paint money and am planning to keep painting.

Well you need a steering wheel or gamepad too and those can get pricey. I use my mom's credit card and whenever I am going to extend my subscription or something, I give her money to put in and after she puts it in the account, I but things. Paypal works too and I'm pretty sure anyone can get a paypal (may be wrong here).

Not yet but this one is coming by the end of the year.

The Acura LMP2 ARX-01C, along with Interlagos, a bunch of Japanese tracks, the new Nationwide COT, and a Sprint Car which is arriving within the next week (I pre-ordered and can't wait for it!)

So this is what Sierra did after NASCAR Racing 2002 & 2003, eh?

Sierra has always made the best racing simulators. I have the original NASCAR Racing game from 1994 (maybe '95, not sure). It was pretty far ahead of everyone else at the time.

It's too bad Electronic Arts bought got the exclusive rights to making the official NASCAR simulation in early 2003, forcing Sierra to halt production of NASCAR Racing 2003 Season and making it the most sought-after racing simulator ever released.

In my opinion, The EA NASCAR games blow. I still refuse to play them...

Yeah I got a couple of the EA Nascar games. They sucked, and thats why I have iRacing now. And it was actually the Papyrus group which was owned by Sierra. Papyrus was dissolved and some of the core people hooked up and started to work on iRacing.

Could you post smaller pictures? Its killing my computer.

Somebody · « **Reply #27 on:** February 01, 2011, 09:56:53 PM »

I replaced the top pictures with smaller ones.

2 New paints!

Anchor Bar Star Mazda

Tradingpaints Street Stock

And a picture of a glitch in iRacing that you can use to get a super-low car, but its already been fixed. I took this screenie before it was fixed though.

Hoosier tires?

F*CK YES!

Somebody · « **Reply #29 on:** February 02, 2011, 09:40:56 AM »

Sorry to burst your bubble but

People just want Hoosier on their cars, its not on the tires lol

Not like you read the tires at 100mph though.

Hey I got my computer all upgraded and ready to try this ~~game~~ simulator. I think I will sign up next week. I gotta hook up my Logitech momo setup and configure everything. Got any current referral codes that you want me to use?

Ah, I see. I suppose they don't possess the rights to use trademarks. I'm guessing the same goes for the "Aeru" racing wheels. lol

PR-2FREE gives you two free months

And on the main page is a NASCAR Promotion under "latest headlines" on the box that gets you a reduced rate and gives you Talladega, Daytona, and the COT for a really reduced price. With those you can run the Carburetor Cup which is a COT Rookie League.
Next to that is a Grand Prix promo for the same price with the F1 car, Zandvoort, and Silverstone. Thats all the stuff for Formula Fun, the F1 Rookie series.

Just put in bigsoxfan1994[NOSPAMS]@yahoo.com in the referral box thingy. Without the NOSPAMS obviously. If you do that I get $10 sent to me in iRacing credit. My name is Jonathan Schultz so you should be able to search me up and find me. Just send me a PM on the iRacing forums and I'll know that you're there.

Wait, what VGA did you have before you upgraded?

Because I thought my new laptop could run it, but you have just got me in doubt.

My computer had an onboard ATI Radion chipset (which should work ok with iracing). I upgaded ~~the video card~~ to a higher end video card because I really want it to be smooth and with nice detail.

The more important upgrade was my RAM. I only had 2 gigs while running WIN7 32bit. That was going to be super slow running the game. 6 Gigs shall run it to my liking.

Ah, ok thank you. I will keep you posted next week. The free months thing might be nice, though I am pretty interested in driving a COT as well. Will have to think about it. I have some money transferring into my Paypal, when that is done, I will be signing up. :D Can't wait to race you if I can.

Somebody · « **Reply #34 on:** February 02, 2011, 09:24:45 PM »

I am going to say it now. The COT is a handful. It is amazingly loose, and I have not had the time to practice with it to get used to it. It surely is not the point and go of the EA NASCAR games. Personally though, if they had the NASCAR Package when I had signed up, I would have gone for it. You get a lot of appreciation for what the real Sprint Cup drivers go through to drive the cars, and its pretty cool to feel like a real Nascar driver.

tl;dr: If you know that you are going to love iRacing and play it for a long time, get the package because someday you will buy them anyways. If you are unsure about how much you will like iRacing, go with the buy 1 month, get 2 free months code.

Off topic maybe, but what is iRacing?

Google just puts app results for iPods and such...

Jack Daniels · « **Reply #39 on:** February 16, 2011, 04:16:50 AM »

It is a very realistic racing simulator. I signed up this past week and I gotta say it is pretty intense. I've been waiting for a decent sim like this to come around.
