iRacing, free demo
New iRacing 1-month 'demos' for new subscribers, aimed at Grand Prix Legends and NASCAR Racing 2003 Season simulation users
Hi, My name is Tim Wheatley and I work for iRacing. I've been a part of the sim racing community for many years and have created a couple of 'demos' of iRacing which may be of interest. Please do your best to let everybody who you think may be interested know about it's existence. I originally posted this on my blog, hence the 'personal' tone to this text: I’ve been trying to get a suitable ‘demo’ trial of iRacing put together for new members for a while and I finally managed to get it done. Until now, the only way to try iRacing without paying was with the Radical Sportscars promotion which gave you your first month of iRacing membership, Silverstone Circuit, the Radical SR8 sportscar along with the basic content you normally get with a 1-month subscription, but as I said, the Radical is Class B - it takes longer than the trial period to be able to race that. The first, aimed primarily at Papyrus simulation users who are still running Grand Prix Legends, includes a free first month, the Skip Barber Formula 2000, Virginia International Raceway and of course, the basic content normally included with a 1-month subscription (Pontiac Solstice, Legends Ford ‘34 Coupe, SCCA Spec Racer Ford, Lanier National Speedway, Lime Rock Park, Oxford Plains Speedway, Summit Point Raceway, South Boston Speedway, Lowe’s Motor Speedway and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca). So, why did I choose the Skip Barber Formula 2000? Because it’s a lot of fun and out of all the iRacing cars it drives the most like a car from Grand Prix Legends. You can also reach a Rookie 4.0 license within a few hours of membership and this will allow you to drive this car in official races. Why did I choose Virginia International Raceway? This track is like a cross between Spa-Francorchamps and the Nurburgring in Grand Prix Legends. This track needs to be tamed and it can give you that sense of exhilaration and achievement which you until now believed could only be gotten after lapping the ‘ring. It’s also a very important track for your career within iRacing (it is used all the way up the ladder) and comes with seven (yes, seven) track configurations. Any Tips? Yes. The SB2000 is a school car, it is supposed to be driven in a technically correct manner. You need to either be on the throttle or brake at all times to keep it stable; If you lift off the throttle completely in the middle of a turn, it will likely spin out on you for example. Think about where the weight of the car is moving to, be smooth and try to keep even a little bit of throttle down in each turn to keep weight in the rear. To claim your free first month new account ‘SB2000+VIR’ version, go here, use promo code: PR-GPL http://iracing.com/membership/subscriptions.php?lc=2 The second promo code allows Papyrus simulation users who are still running any of the NASCAR Racing simulations a free first month, the Chevy Monte-Carlo SS late model, Martinsville Speedway and of course, the basic content normally included with a 1-month subscription (Pontiac Solstice, Legends Ford ‘34 Coupe, SCCA Spec Racer Ford, Lanier National Speedway, Lime Rock Park, Oxford Plains Speedway, Summit Point Raceway, South Boston Speedway, Lowe’s Motor Speedway and Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca). So, why did I choose the Chevy Monte-Carlo SS? Because it’s a lot of fun. Secondly, because it’s a lot of fun (and I do know I said it twice). This is my favorite stock car. It doesn’t require you to be so precise and you can drive this car the way you want to drive it - and it rewards you every way. I drive this car with what I call ‘happy hands’, as I am constantly working the wheel and the feel the car gives is just superb. This car will show you just how far things have come since NASCAR Racing 2003 Season. You can also reach a Rookie 4.0 license within a few hours of membership and this will allow you to drive this car in official races. Why did I choose Martinsville Speedway? because who could say no to this paperclip-shaped beauty? It produces close side-by-side and bumper to nose racing every time. This track is one of the few tracks on the late model schedule in iRacing that isn’t already given to you with the basic subscription, and although my favorite track on the schedule is Concord (a three-turn oval) I thought it better to give you Martinsville Speedway, which is used later in your iRacing career all the way up the ladder. Any Tips? The late model, as I said before, is very driveable. The best way to drive it technically will be as smooth as possible, but the car easily accepts being sideways and has enough feeling to allow you time to recover it. Many say the late model series in iRacing provides the best quality racing available… To claim your free first month new account ‘LM+Marty’ version, go here, use promo code: PR-NR2003 http://iracing.com/membership/subscriptions.php?lc=2 How the subscription works/things you need to know: The promotion code creates a new account. Therefore, this cannot be used to add content to an existing account in any way. A credit/debit card or Paypal account is required and will be needed to access the trial. This is a free first month. You can cancel payment for the second (and onwards) months at any time. When logged into the members Web site, go to the My Account link, click cancel and cancel again. Regular monthly billing is $19 per month. Some credit/debit cards (especially European banks) will not accept a $0 transaction. To get around this, we sometimes request $1 - which will show as pending, but this $1 will drop back into your account and will not be taken. You can switch your trial to a 3-month, 6-month or 1-year subscription at any time. Go to the My Account link on the members Web site and renew the account. Any amount of time you purchase will be added to the time remaining on your trial. If you buy any additional content on the trial account, but do not wish to continue the trial after the first month, the additional content will be waiting for you to re-subscribe at a later date along with all your racing stats and license. At the moment there is no end-date for this promotion. But one is set in the system for 31st December, 2009. If you have any questions about the trial, feel free to contact me by email or facebook. http://timwheatley.org/www/contact/email http://www.facebook.com/twheatley1979?ref=name Feel free to share this iRacing trial information on any other Web site or forum. All the best, Tim. ------------------- Source; Facebook Als iemand beslist dit toch te proberen, kan je eventueel mij (Steve Claeys) opgeven als referral.

Wel, de site is niet de members site maar de algemene iracing site.
Stijn had wel gelijk i.v.m. het programma.

Ik heb mijn eigen mening over iRacing:"they can shove it up their asses"
Zo goed is het absoluut niet. (heb alle auto's al eens getest) Enorm overpriced voor maar een spel. (racesim zal altijd een spel blijven  )

Een simulatie is nooit het echte niet he, het simuleert het.
Over de prijs kan je blijven palaveren. Je houdt er van of niet alhoewel dat ik denk dat jou mening bevooroordeelt is.

Dat je dus al een mening over iRacing had voor je de game uit probeerde.
Velen hebben er een afkeer van ,over wat er vroeger gebeurt is.
