Played some and i got to say the community is really harsh. Everybody thinks they are "Major" racers and every mistake you make gets you reported/kicked/banned from something. I stop playing after a while because of that.
To be perfectly honest, I really enjoy iRacing. Once you get out of the rookie series, you actually get into some really clean, tight races that I find really enjoyable. Though when I had it I couldn't afford to pay for it so I'm not on it anymore. The driving felt like driving, so I can't complain about it. I really enjoyed oval racing and how much strategy there was to it.
Only thing to complain about is how expensive it is. You get a base set of tracks and cars and as you move up to get a better experience you will need to buy more tracks/cars. While it's not terribly expensive (I could afford it as a student with no income), many will find it burdensome.
So far, I've only been messing around in the single player part. Mostly on Laguna Seca in the Pontiac Solstice, the MX5, and the Legends cars. Pretty good fun, feels really realistic, and the sounds are amazing. I haven't had a true race yet, also, I seem as if I need some more experience on my own before heading online.
Re-activated my account today as I have a 3 months for the price of 1 code, and my friend was asking me to start playing again, did the MX-5 cup, some how went faster then my previous PB with about 30/35 laps practice. Not quite sure how I did considering I'm ill and I did it in such a short time considering if I hadn't messed up the last turn it would have been quicker. Only real difference is the wheel, I used to use a DFGT now I'm using a G27 on full manual.m
I understand why it's so expensive, but it's too expensive for me lol
Iracing I must say is a great looking game with the way they look at things anyway, they do seem to put the money to good use. It's nice to see the extra realism added to a real simulator, to make it more dedicated at least.

And thats why its multiplayer racing is million times better than in any racing sim. In the end few euros in month isn't that much for proper rating and safety system. The content is expensive but you don't need to buy everything. And if i remember correctly it's not game anymore, but instead a driver training software or something /
A lot of Core memebers that ran in CityLiga along with Frank and a couple others (Including myself) have started playing iRacing doing the Skip Barber, if you want to join in let me know and I'll get you added
