Rocky Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 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.
