If I had the Ohio...

same here, one track does not equal £8. Silly prices imo.

Quote from startkapital :

Hi Nerds!! ^^

hmmm im sure you'll get a friendly response with that as your opening line.

goodbye

anyone have one or know of any Fanatec skins?

Is it possible to run a game from a flash drive on the PS3? My disk drive does not read disks. I suppose i could transfer the contents from the disc to flash mem at a mates house then transfer that to my hard drive.?

Im kinda doubting that will work though.

Christmas is coming early for iRacers, whether they’ve been naughty or nice. iRacing.com is adding a sleigh-load of free cars and tracks to its base package in the weeks and months ahead. You read that right -- Free!

iRacing Rookie or veteran, you’ll be able to take advantage of the enhanced base package beginning in early July with the release of legendary Thompson International Speedway, the high-banked Connecticut bull ring that has been synonymous with New England motorsports for more than half a century.

Of course, you’ll need a shiny new car to race at Thompson. How about a Tour Modified? The faster cousin of the SK Modified that has long been a staple of the iRacing garage is poised to join the service as well. iRacers who already own an SK Modified will see the Tour Modified automatically added to their inventory, while those new to the Modified sim racing scene will receive both the SK and Tour Modifieds with a single purchase. Like Thompson, the Tour Modified will be available in early July for practice and hosted racing, with official race series kicking-off in Season Three.

What could be better than a free new track and a shiny new race car? How about a free new track and two shiny new race cars? As hinted a few weeks ago, we’re also adding a street stock to the base package, one fresh from the JR Motorsports shop. Available in late 2010, the street stock will also be free to all iRacers.

Have we forgotten our road racers? Not hardly. One of iRacing’s worst-kept secrets is the fact that we’ll be adding the Mazda MX5 to our stable later this year. But we’ll bet you didn’t know it will be the new road racing rookie car (don’t worry Solstice fans, the Solstice will still be an integral part of iRacing); or that the Mazda will be available in both right hand drive (MX5 Cup) and left hand drive (MX5 Roadster) versions. And yes, as part of the basic package, the MX5 Cup and Roadster will both be free to all iRacers.

yay . wonder when the mx5 is coming?

Very nice comparison, i think this shows up the flaws of iRacing, including poor lighting, poor saturation of colors & flat 2d grass which looks a bit lame tbh. (oh & the pit wall @ 2:33 & the dark tarmac on the inside 2:58) urghh long way off
Some of the shots are spot on tho. Still a long road ahead for iRacing i hope they get it right.

i will be racing the jetta this week, last week the field was pathetic.

thanks bunder, so if i locate jqs.exe & remove it that should do the trick?
(btw it does it a lot when loading new browser windows)

edit: disabled it in firefox job done .

anyone know what this means? I'm guessing something is up with my memory. is it f%&ed?

Check your inbox they sent out emails for half price 3 months subs.

Also there is currently a hosted Vette @ Brands Indy session running, anyone up for a play?. The C6R actually handles better than the V8 & is really quite a lot of fun .

Has anyone heard back from them about beta testing?

Twenty iRacers are poised to race online against Formula One driver Lucas di Grassi (Virgin Racing) and Star Mazda championship leader Conor Daly in the Grand Prix Masters Tournament Finals in Montreal on the eve of the Canadian Grand Prix. The finalists were the highest scoring iRacers during the Grand Prix Masters Tournament, held April 27- May 3 and sponsored by Grand Prix Tours, Dell and Intel.

In keeping with the international flavor of Formula One and iRacing, the qualifiers represent nearly a dozen international clubs and range in age from 14 to 31. The qualifiers are: Alberto Baraldi (Italy), Kevin Bartsch (France), Andre Boettcher (DE-AT-CH), Richard Crozier (Celtic), Max Dell’Orco (Italy), Evgeniy Donstov (International), Danny Engels (DE-AT-CH), Dave Gelink (Benelux), Philippe Gosselin (Eastern Canada), Klaus Kivekas (Scandinavia), Darryn Lobb (International), Martin Macjon (DE-AT-CH), Aritan Maia (Brazil), Mikko Niemi (Scandinavia), Luke McLean (Australia), Jeffrey Rietveld (Benelux), Victor Szabo (International), Jonathan Stewart (Eastern Canada), Blake Townend (England) and David Williams (England).

The twenty finalists will compete online, from their homes around the world, with de Grassi and Daly in simulators on a stage in Montreal’s Rue de Fortification before a live audience at 5:30 pm ET (22:30 GMT) on June 12. The 20 lap race at Canada’s Mosport International Raceway, will feature Star Mazda cars painted in Dell and Intel liveries. The event will be broadcast live on PSRTV, with highlights shown on an upcoming edition of the Inside Grand Prix television show.

The three top finishers (excluding Messrs. di Grassi and Daly) will receive a Dell Studio 17 laptop computer (first place), Dell Inspiron Mini 10 Netbook (second place) and iRacing.com Prize Pack ($100 in credits, a diecast car and iRacing hat).

Good luck to David, Blake, & Richard. I can see degrassi getting an ass woopin!

dag nam it!. As soon as i stop checking the forum Xaidon gives away $10.
Thanks for the advice.

they had an offer where you got the dallara & a roval track for $32 this also included a 3 months sub.
also there was one with the c6R & sebring 4 the same price. when you consider content @ $12/$14 a piece then its a good starting block. Also only existing members can get the $30 rebate deal.

the other method is the $5 trial to get you in the door. If you've never tried it before then go for the $5 deal give you a chance to see what iracing is all about.

NVIDIA's CUDA

First released in February 2007, NVIDIA engineered a set of tools that allowed application developers to write programs to run on NVIDIA's hardware. The set of tools included a compiler that uses a derivation of the 'C' programming language.
Using basic 'C' with some additions, developers can now code algorithms that gain practically unfettered access to the GPUs' immense memory bandwidth and computational power.
The tools are collectively referred to as CUDA (Complete Unified Device Architecture) and it has now been rolled into general graphics card drivers for a wide range of GPUs. The toolkit can be downloaded here.

more bandwidth is possible using cuda , which happens to be soft th's Achilles heel.

Quote from Xaid0n :

Thinking about the 2 year subscription (works out at around £5-£6 a month - maybe the Brits can confirm that ), does the money automatically come out of your account?

with the current offer it works out better if you take one of the specials & then use the year sub with $30 rebate.
site just went down ?

Quote from Mille Sabords :

In pure iracing marketing strategy, they will probably release core updates only when needed (LFS update, RF2 out or other threat). On the other hand they will continue to force cars / tracks down the throat of subscribers, because apparently they make a good profit (development vs income, marketing).

I doubt they pay any attention to the likes of LFS or Nkpro, iRacing just do their thing & i think from what we've seen so far, its revenue driven development.
Despite their many proclamations about realism & making it the best driver training tool they just love churning out content left right & center.

DK seems to be the only person working on things that we want to see.

Point taken pmd, but why quote the obvious? I agree 100% re the content vs improvements side of things.
p.s. - i dont think that everyone is against me, like tinvek said above "this is not the i love iracing thread". So we should expect all types of views about iRacing.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good point passo, i think it has been discussed many times in the iracing forum. How they will balance active racers with the number of series always gets a few chins wagging. I bet there has been a massive drop in C6R racers with the intro of the V8 & im sure there will be others concerned about what will happen on the SS side of things when the F1 gets released. Personally i wish they would release cars at a slower rate of knots so that the community has a chance to adapt but thats just my opinion.

edit: maybe they will reach a point where they will allow use of cars without purchase if a series does not run at all. Or maybe some sort of hardship credit scheme or even car swapping/trading?

Quote from Mp3 Astra :

No idea. Just go to the site and it'll tell you where it says 'updates required'.

I cant yet, just wondered how big the DL was when the last update came out? I only ask as i have sloooow 400k dsl .
@ PMD - iRacing does not even support driver changes yet so i wouldn't start bragging about the frequency or size of its updates.
