Dodger12 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Well, i got Iracing a while back and im wondering how many others use it? It is probably the most realistic simulator out there atm, Personally i dont have alot of money but it is probably the best investment i've made. Sure it has some rookies that make mistakes, But thats racing no ones perfect. Its worth paying 99 Dollars for a year and getting 6-8 tracks and 6 cars. With 11 dollars per car and track its worth it. But Anyone else use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRobson Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Is it worth 100 dollars to get trolled in 90% of your races online? Probably not. lol. iRacing is a great sim but the online idiots ruined it for me. I either won my races or get wrecked out intentionally. I'll stick with NR2003 until rFactor 2 comes out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stick with NR2003 until rFactor 2 comes out You don't get trolled in 90% of the races..if you pay attention to whos around you and drive with your head defensively. I've been wrecked out of maybe 1 or 2 races, but that's why I run in leagues so I don't have to race with the trolls. Lookin at your iRacing stats..it looks like you weren't even wrecked out in 90% maybe 20-30%. But you haven't even been on an offical race in nearly a year since the NTM came out..official races aren't near the same. Top 5 finish over 50% of the races you ran...maybe try something other than Street stock which is normally full of Rookies because they are the rookie car for a reason.

JRobson Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Hmm it was a free trial, didn't have money to upgrade to a different series. So yeah. If I could of ran with more competitive racers I damn well would have. I've had plenty of my buddies who do race in the 'pro' category who say it isn't that much better as you move up. People still take you out. I don't have money, time, or desire to order iRacing again. Sure the tires have changed or whatever. But it still has the same idiotic racers. I forgot you know all though so obviously I never paid attention to my races. Obviously the reason I wrecked out so much. All I'm saying is if you get iRacing. Find a league to run weekly. Public races aren't all that fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 No doubt, I never said I knew all so there is no reason to get an attitude..just give it a chance with the new aero, tires..and run in a league for a couple months, I think you would really like it Jordan, I like racing you and I wouldn't mind having the opportunity to do it in iRacing as well. No doubt the pro series are ran hard..people drive like morons, it's no DMP(witch wasn't perfect). Find the right league Jordan..upgrade to a couple oval cars and get a few tracks, do like I have by only buying what you can afford at the time,.

Stephen Hopkins Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 im going to bring this dead thread up as I just got iracing around 24 hours ago, and its amazing, surprised me just how good it really is. If you havent gotten iracing yet they have a buy one month get 2 for free deal thing to get you into iracing for fairly cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuddRulez Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I would tend to believe with the number of racers I've seen from Sim-Monsters, there is a likely chance that there may be enough to support a series for members of Sim-Monsters on iRacing.

I wouldn't mind running a sim monsters series. Races only cost 2 dollars to host, so it's not like its a big burden to host a race or two a week, If anyone is interested let me know which series(car) y'all are interested in running..I was thinking possibly cup car, and truck series..

Patriotic Canadian Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hmm it was a free trial How does free trail. i can't find anything along those lines on the site, been tempted to drop the money, but i'm a turtlish little git, can't let go of my money unless it's a very good reason or pizza.

Casey Graves Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 The occasionally give a free month promo or 3 for 1, wouldnt suggest getting it unless your an avid racing fan tho, there are still alot of flaws to the sim. Your best bet is to just wait for rf2 instead of spending your money on iracing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriotic Canadian Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Fair enough. i was thinking of holding off for Rfactor anyway, oggy just won't shut up about how awesome IR is, thought i'd give it a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric I must apologize to ya and admit (partially) I was wrong about this iRacing thing lol. If you get with the right group of people it is an absolute BLAST. I finally got back into iRacing full bore this time with Trucks, NW, Cup etc etc and I've not opened up NR2003 for about a week now as sad as it is. I've finally "joined the dark side" and I have loved every minute of it. Though I still stand by my statement that iRacing's prices are absolutely rideculous, if you are an avid gamer and want a new challenge.. iRacing is where its at. I'd love to run our own 'DSR' iRacing league around here sometime because with iRacing, you can actually rub, scrap, bump and beat the hell out of each other without the horrible online netcode kicking your butt into the wall lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 No doubt, always down for a league. The new 2 car tango is a crap load of fun, but it add's an new element having to constantly watch around you, your guages, and trusting the guy your pushing doesn't lead you into something that could get real bad real fast. I admit, I just ate 60 dollars to renew for a year, thank god for $40 dollars in iRacing creds, but tbh. Even though iRacing is about the $$$..the quality is second to none.

AuzGrams Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I'm down for it for a few races, I need to get used to this tango crap lol. Ran with Eric on the tango and sucked at it a bit and went into a practice server briefly lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRobson Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 I wasn't very good at it either when I first started. But now I go into a Carb race and have people PMing me to push them lol. Me and this guy tango'd out to a 12 second lead (Nobody wrecked) in one carb race and I ended up winning by a nose lol.
