Quote from Klutch :How does one speak a country?

By having a very large mouth

Edit: Let's not make this history lesson.
In short: If Germany would have never rose to military power it was during WWII, I'd be speaking russia right now.

Quote :Hi folks,

I'm seeing a few posts from people who seem 'hurt' they haven't had an invite yet, or confused as to why they haven't gotten one. I thought I'd post this and hopefully answer any queries you might have.

What is the invite process?

Firstly, the people who beta tested were asked to provide a maximum of 10 names and email addresses. We checked for duplicate emails and made sure each email address would get one invite, then mailed out the invites. Obviously (as we expected), some emails bounced and most people didn't provide 10 names, so we sent out a small number of the mailing list subscribers to bump that list a little.

Since that time, we have invited a few VIP's (real-racing drivers, etc), a few media persons and also have sent out two waves of emails that were selected at RANDOM from the mailing list. The mailing list is here: http://iracing.com/contact/register.php?lc=3 - If you are not subscribed yet, please do.

From now until the time when the doors open fully, waves of emails will be sent out depending on what the development team say. The numbers per wave and the time the wave happens may vary, but by the end of the Summer everyone on the mailing list should have gotten an invite.

It will not happen in any particular order (honestly, they are not in the order they were registered now anyway, as we moved from one piece of software to another for list storage). If you are registered, you have done all you can. If you are not chosen in the next wave, wait for the one after that.

The next wave will be coming this week.

Now, WHY are we doing this?

The worst case scenario for any paying customer is for the service to be unavailable outside of any planned maintenance. This process of release isn't anything new, some of you might remember that GMail was launched in a similar fashion (and infact still is named 'beta' officially). We are increasing the membership as quick as our process will allow, we will not rush at the expense of existing members.

Tim.

Quote :As for the engine, the concept had a one-cylinder diesel engine producing 8.5 horsepower and 13.5 foot-pounds of torque.

Doesn't sound like a powerhouse, I have no clue how much 13,5 foot-pounds is in Nm but I get a feeling it's somewhere between stationary and "Oh no, uphill. Unload shopping bags!"

Edit: Oh, there was already second page on this topic. Damn you people write fast.

Quote from andybarsblade :That one? then its a +1 (unless you mean the 1980's one ) ive always loved old ferrari's like the 365 GTB daytona

Umm.... yeah... I ment the one from 80's. I was born in the 80's so that's the car I had picture hanging on my bedroom wall. I think I still have that stashed somewhere

I kinda like 80's styling in general, maybe because cars of mid-90's looked so damn dull.

250 TR from late 50's is beautiful looking car too, I appreciate it as an piece of art but that's all.

Call me weird but to me Ferrari Testarossa is still one of the coolest cars ever.
If I could have any car in the world, that's the one I would pick.

No need to be sarcastic, unless someone has extra invite left (unlikely), that's the only way to go. If you check the unofficial iRacing forums on RSC you see invite request topics being made every day where people are begging for invites that no one has.

As soon as there's any info about new wave of invites, we'll let you know.

It seems like there's very few real fans who enjoy watching their favorite driver being successfull but plenty of those who don't care who wins aslong as they get to say how much other drivers suck. I already had to stop reading couple F1 boards because cry and whine was just getting unbearable.

I'm not a Hamilton-fan but it was a good drive, no doubt about it. He showed that he can keep is head cool and concentrate. He needs to keep doing that however since Kubica and both Ferraris are strong when they're not let down by technical difficulties or wrong race strategy.

DWB: I assume he was referring to team's decision to stay on worn intermediates which cost him lot of time and made it very difficult to stay on track.

I don't blame them for moving to tax havens when they would have to pay millions of euros in income tax.

Just stick to the Legends and you'll be fine. Run a qualify to get out of the midfield madness and you might make it through. Rookie version does get quite boring however, so I'd recommend unrestricted Advanced version.

Quote from Jertje :Hmmm, well qualifications are every hour, and races are every 2 hours, so you can always pop in for a qualification 50 minutes before a race starts, and be left with 20 minutes of break-time before the race

Yeah, but I still have to skip either road or oval race to qualify for Solstice. :weeping:

Just noticed that qualify times for Adv. Solstice suck balls. They are scheduled 10 minutes after race start, so you have to skip race if you want to run 4 qualify laps. On the otherhand Adv. Legends qualify sessions are 10mins after the race so you can finish the race, grab a cup of coffee and go get some hotlaps done while waiting for road race session.

Quote from Technique :hah spanks I might have been in that race. What a disaster for me. I thought they were still running Laguna and I was completely unprepared for lime rock. In the warmup laps I was 3 seconds off of my pace last week.... In the race I spun 3 or 4 times!

Same, didn't realise that and so I had no qualify time for it. Started somewhere from the middle but was already second after T1 and eventually won the race. Had a nice battle for the first place while rest of the field was ~20sec behind

Have to say, last season was good and this is even better. 3-way tie for the championship although I don't think Massa can hang in there until the end.

You could see both Ferraris really struggling in last corner and there was good onboard replay of Massa's spin there, he was barely on throttle when backend just snapped out.

Solstice and Radical are actually only cars that are missing them, so I guess they just forgot it

Really looks like Ferrari doesn't go well on wet.

Edit: Lol, it's Trulli-train in effect again. Alonso, Kovalainen and Räikkönen following him

"New and improved" Donington = Wide like an autobahn, huge paved runoff areas, smooth, flat and boring.

By the way, forget your Solstices and get into Advanced Legends.
It's just an awesome car and I hope there's going to be road series for it in the near future. Although I wouldn't mind having more power under the hood

Have to feel little bad for Kubica who couldn't run at all in Q3 due to rear suspension problem.

Hamilton on the otherhand, I don't know what to think of it. 4th position ain't bad and I'm expecting him to have little bit more fuel than Heikki, but it's his inconsistency that's costing so much time. It could be all the PR stuff that is reflecting to his performance on the track.
