Ive been a member of iRacing for 10 years, i was here when there were 250 racers online now there are 10,000+ 24/7

Since 2008 and today it is The definitive home of online sim racing.

Sure there are other great sims out there, RF2, ACC, AMS2. Each might do individual things better than iracing....The other sims have rain/wet weather, better graphics. The suspension model on ACC is mildly better. The wet/racing line develop over a race is probably better on RF2. But these are all minor.

However none of the other sims provide a service like iRacing, in the form of races every hour. With a license for safety and a rating for your race ability. Although not a perfect system and certainly more floors in it the more popular iracing has become. But there is no other service that provides the quality of racing iracing does, on the hour every hour wether its 9am, 2pm or 3am.

How expensive the sim is can be off putting to new drivers. But all the content you require for your first couple of seasons and gaining license safety rating are provided for free.

Then most people will total up the price of all the tracks, cars and then quietly go back to another sim.

But what im going to say is. The one track for $14 and the one car will provide so much content. You will never drive the same lap twice (unless your max verstappen) you will never have the same race, you will never drive the corner in exactly the same way. There is so much at play, track temp, wind, tyre temp everything. The one car and track will provide more content than any other game or DLC marked at that price.

No one on this earth has the time to race every car, every series on iracing all of the time.

Ive spent 10 years on the iracing service and its not about racing every car, every track, every series. Its about find 'your' series, car, and racing that. maybe venturing out into other series you find fun. But dont be put off by the price of totalling every track/car up on the service.

Once your up into C class license and wanted to do a full season of F3. The price for all tracks and content for that series is roughly $40-60 but then that is the cost of running entire F3 season for the rest of your days on iracing.

If you run full seasons you will gain $8 per series in iracing credits, so at the end of every season you can pretty much afford new track / car.


Dont be put off by the cost! the first few seasons and series all content is free.
