Staying on the community side of things, we have something very cool planned for the world’s fastest sim racer. I don’t want to spoil it for you, but let’s just say Greger is going to be making a trip here to the States very soon and he’ll get to do some very cool things. We will be capturing all of it on film to be shown on 3 Wide Life and on our website, plus it will be covered in Top Gear magazine.

Wow, that should be fun!! I wonder what they're planning.

Fun for Gregger maybe. There is a lot of speculation as to what car they will put him in. I hope he's up to it.

New sounds, improved graphics, new rookie car & a Williams F1. Looks like they are pulling out all the stops for the next build.

Hopefully Pocono will be out on wednesday....
And NEW forum wednesday....

OH SNAP! I was promoted to Class D! I thought you had to have a 4.0 safety rating? I've still got lots to learn haha.

You do. But rookie gets promoted twice in one regular 13 week series. There is actually 2 rookie seasons in 1 regular.

I think it's 3 Marco....

rookie series = 4 weeks
regular D and above series = 12 weeks.

If its a normal promotion time(and not fasttrack) you only need 3.0

how does a membership offer effect you?

Spending $300 instead of $400. Saving $100?

Stop with your negativity Ant, no one wants to hear it.

However, I wouldnt sign to 4 years with the way iracing is headed. could be $75 for a year normally within a year or so, without putting down $300. Or who knows, could do away with the whole subscription base thing. :O

It affects me because i just spent 40 odd quid and i'm not loaded enough to warrant spending 50 odd again straight away
Is that alright for you mate? Or should i check with you via PM next time i think about posting?...

With the frequency these offers come by, I am not tempted to take the bait just now. There will probably be many offers before my current subscription runs out.

Its called being realistic Kevin, you just interpret it as negativity. Tbh its hardly a good offer, they had a $100 membership with $30 rebate just 2 months ago so that would be equivalent to a $70 membership. Now its $75??

I was only asking why, as your post made no sense to me? You dont have to buy your membership now, there will be another membership offer in two months time. You seem to be getting all upset over nothing??

A) Don't call me Kevin or I'll slaughter you.
B) Any discount from the normal price is good.. $5 or $25 or $50? They are all discounts.

You have to also accept that iRacing is still getting $100 of your money in to the system. By only actually putting in $75, it's surely right that you don't quite get the same deal. So, infact, it IS a good deal for the $75 for the year!

Going by previous years, that's not been the case at all. This year is the first time there's been more than one special offer for the yearly amount as and above the one in June. I doubt within the next two months we'll see another offer for the year. Saying that though, there will be a special promo deal coming when Spa and the F1 arrive!

The best offer that existing members will get with the f1 and spa is a pre-order rebate I would guess. I'm sure there will be a signup bonus for new members.

This $75 for a year promo is actually very nice compared to the other. The other one you spent $100 and got $30 iracing credits. I know which one leaves my checkbook with more money in it.
