Sworn to secrecy, I've been beta testing a new racing sim, iRacing. That's there new website, publically opened today.

 

iRacing is a Sim, in the strictest sense of the word,

 

 

GRID ---------------------- GTR2 -------------------------------- iRacing

 

It's all run through a novel web interface and downloaded client, there's a huge amount of user data tracking going on, all your best times compared to everyone else's etc.

 

The bad news? It's pay to play, so that'll put most people off right away. On the upside, that will elimate virtually all cheaters and trouble makers, and ensures a field of serious racers.

 

So, cars and tracks are all individually priced, I'm not sure how the pricing is fixed ('cause I got to download over a gig of data free lucky me!), but if they do a demo and if any of you are into racing sims, definitely check this out.

I am beta tester, I had HELL finding friends on-line to race with. I have run several practices, but everyone dropped before racing.

Yeh all I got around to doing was timed test laps, I never actually got into a race, never got my safety rating up high enough

I bought this game new for $59.99 Jan or Feb 2003. It was and still is the best game on the market. EA Sports bought the "rights" of Nascar licene and stopped this compnay from continuing the best Nascar sim.
