You know what…… I think… who cares if you like or dislike this Sim racing… be thankful you live here in the USA… just about 10 -12 years ago you guys were like me still pushing Hot wheels around a circle track made of carpet…. enough of that crap…. I just love the idea that I can at anytime sit at my computer and race… and have fun.. and pay if I want to, or NOT!! I am doing both… Lighten up guys ” its still a game”..and I love Racing just like you!!!! for what its worth….

My thoughts are this if the pro’s like Brad Kesolowski, AJ Almindinger, Dale Jr. think its the bomb why would you think it would die at all, I had the chance to race against AJ and it was all fun but serious at the same time. It’s as close to real as real can get being an internet based racing Sim and the handle of the cars is remarkable

You can continue to play inferior sims based on weak physics code and user developed add ons which are not accurate in their own right. Or you can step up and pay the money and race iRacing, its your loss. The sim is far superior to anything on the market, hands down. Been doing this since 1996 and nothing comes close. PERIOD.

This Sim Blows them out of the water hands down.{You get what you pay for}.
Just ask the thousands that already signed on.My final thought,stay with the other so called sims and race with the kiddies.
And let the Bigboys Roll!!

With products like rfactor that allow you to race many forms of autosport for FREE via community led mods…. this will die a QUICK death… not a slow one :)
156 bux a year… plus the addtional fees for addtional tracks, no thanks!

My thoughts are that after some initial interest, this expensive venture will never have enough customers to make enough money and that it will die a slow death .

I’ve corrected that information in the story. Thanks, Chris.

Nascar2003 and GPL (Grand Prix Legends) are NOT console games. They are for the PC platform.
