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. Title: Re: iRacing preview from SRT Post by: three_jump on June 06, 2008, 09:10:57 am 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... Title: Re: iRacing preview from SRT Post by: Richard Torp on June 06, 2008, 11:04:21 am 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: Title: Re: iRacing preview from SRT Post by: Sir. Pingo on June 06, 2008, 07:47:01 pm 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: Title: Re: iRacing preview from SRT Post by: Richard Torp on June 06, 2008, 08:28:58 pm 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: Title: Re: iRacing preview from SRT Post by: Sir. Pingo on June 06, 2008, 09:21:00 pm That's waht I do for living every day, Rich :lol:
Nahh.. Hopefully they will raise my salary at my current job, when I turn 18. |
