Title: iRacing preview from SRT
Post by: BBO on June 06, 2008, 12:52:15 am
Just in case you missed this

The Sim Racing Tonight (www.insidesimracing.tv) guys could drive it (a bit)
Unfortunatly they don't show  a real race, just practice laps and how the web based interface of iRacing looks like.


Take a look here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbAC-PV3lZI&eurl=http://insidesimracing.tv/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=148&Itemid=206

There are still lots of unanswered question for me
(No side view / side mirrors? Only cockpit view? ... etc. etc.)
and things I really don't like
(no skinnable cars or helmets, no pickup racing with friends, every new track [you need to buy them] when your license goes up 15$ to 25$... etc. etc.)

So it's defnetly not something you can enter and just race for fun for an hour in the evening
(as every race etc. will have influence on your rating/license/rank and will follow you forever in the stats)

Anyway I think there is no other way then testing it yourself to really judge about it.

Looks like playing iRacing will be like renting a car from sixt (or similar)...

- you pay for it every time
- you don't own it (you stop paying and can't use it anymore)
- you can't customize it (new skin)
- when the dealer goes bankrupt you loose the car / game
- you're not allowed with the car to do what you want / to damage it without consequences

whoever buys this... have fun with it...

edit
after seeing the vid:
iRacing = epic fail
At least I can't see why a person with some common sense would buy this dictator game...

I can`t take articles like that serious. When it`s out i`m gonna buy a "demo-month" and see what it is, I can`t judge anything on iRacing before that..

I`m looking forward to try it out.... Can`t wait..  :icon_tongue:

The price really scares me.. But i'm also gonna go with a month for a start and see what it will bring.
It looks very promising, and I like what I have seen so far.
Hopefully it wont be too good.. cause then i'm broke  :lol:

You can always collect empty cans and beer bottles and sell them. One beer bottle 1,- d.kr If you collects 200 cans or bottles (per month),then  i`m sure that you can have fun in iRacing..  :laughing7:

You could also try to sell some of your organs for iRacing..  :clown:  :mrgreen:
