I've been in iRacing for 3 years. I love it. It's by far the most legit if you're a serious sim racer. They take cheating seriously and ban people, and you can file protests. Plus if you are really fast you can compete in pro series for cash and prizes. Many iRacers are real world drivers or started in sim racing and now drive in real world.
The downside is cost. It's membership, as you're paying for the whole online racing setup and service. You have to buy cars and tracks as well. But it's worth it, no dance required or crazy mod downloads. It's all automatic via their website. Right now they have a deal 3 months for 12 bucks go for it! Use my name as a referral Matt Berndt if you give it a try. The default cars are a lot of fun ![]() |

Three months for $12 deal is pretty good introductory deal. You can do a lot of racing in that time, and if you're a safe and fast racer it'll become evident even using the most basic cars and tracks...
Hey Matt, is it possible to gift a membership to someone? I'll pay for Raaaid to join up just on the off chance he's actually good enough to set some record lap times. Edit - Just looked into it, can do gift certificates, but the recipient still needs to provide their own credit card details when signing up for iRacing. Over to you Raaaid. BTW, what car and track and realism settings did you use to set the world record in GTR? And when you say world record do you mean you beat the fastest lap time that's been set using a real car on the actual real world track, or the fastest time recorded using the GTR virtual versions?

No worries Raaaid. It's true, racing can be stressful, take it easy.

Maybe you should try another Simbin title like Raceroom online (is free) or Race 07. I believe they all have world leaderboard like GTR.

iRacing rules. Now for the name dropping.
I've raced with, that means on track with me for position and stuff: Louis Hamilton Dale E. Jr. Jaques Villanueve Wyatt Gooden Ryan Newman A J Allmendinger Bobby Labonte and Alex Gurney They all kicked my behind (except Villanueve, I think it was his first day) but just racing with these guys is extra cool. And it's never happened to me anywhere else. And there's No Cheating ![]() |

Raid,
You can save some cash and pay once a year, it's a lot cheaper and how I do it every year. I think now it's down to $99 a year for iRacing, plus you get $25 in credits to spend on cars/tracks if you buy a year. And someone offered to PAY for your 3 month membership. I'd jump all over that! You'll be going up against the best of the best, so you can see how you stack up against the other top simracers. The only downside is yes you have to give them your credit card # on file, even if using a gift membership. But all you have to do is uncheck the auto renew and your set. Nothing will be charged to your card. In a way this keeps out random people from signing up and making it seem more serious with people using their real names. |

i would wait 4 gtr3, gtr2 was also my fav, even if it was little easyer than gtr1, cause the force feedback was more "feelable".
