It's a pyramid conspiracy
A pyramid scheme is along the lines of -
You are in a line of work (most commonly sales), you pay for all your training and you only make money from what you sell and whatever you sell, the person who introduced/trained you gains a percentage of all the money you make as well as what they are making for themselves and in turn the person above them gets a percentage of whatever THEY are making until it reaches the top of the 'pyramid' and the pilot/captain receives money effectively from all the other peoples hard work.

Do you have a ****ing clue what a pyramid scheme actually is, or did you just see it on an episode of two and a half men and assume it was a valid insult to iracing?
Anyway, for such a hatred you seem to take such an interest in iRacing. Let me ask you, how gullible are you, how much content do you have? I'm betting 'lots and bitter'.
They could just start by adopting a definition of "intentional" that might be recognized by anyone else on the planet. Otherwise, the protest system is a cop-out as cynical as some of the driving.
before 2 years played iracing, anything new? still same price?
Monday: V8 gets NTM and IndyCar gets draft updates.
:O Un amused about the V8 getting the NTM lets hope its not ice skating like the Cadi....i seriously have nfi what the Cadis doing even with FFB up.
Also unamused that some dick a lap down was blocking me while i was racing for the win. Seriously if your a lap down and there are 3 laps left GET THE **** OUT OF THE WAY! Such a dick move.
Yes i do but this isnt the type of pyramid your thinking of. If you have a degree in business studies then feel free to tell me how it is, if not **** off you arrogant ****.
Nope, I chose a degree which is actually useful. You also don't see the irony in telling me my opinion doesn't matter if I don't have that particular degree, then calling me arrogant?
By the way, despite your degree, you clearly don't know what a Pyramid Scheme is, and have no idea how iRacing is run. You know that iRacing runs at a pretty significant loss, and only sustains itself through John Henrys investment? Pretty shitty Pyramid scheme they have running. In fact, it doesn't sound anything even remotely similar to a Pyramid scheme. Funny that.
Lets pick this apart, and why you think it's a Pyramid.
1. The more you buy the higher the % discount.
Economies of scale, like everything else on the planet?
2. 100%ers get benefits & discounts that others do not.
A service which didn't encourage you to buy it would be a bit of a waste of time. It is exactly what it says it is, a discount for customers who have rented the most cars and tracks. I really don't see a legality issue with this.
3. You will miss out on big events if you dont own certain content. Pressurising you to buy more.
If you don't buy a ticket to a football match, you miss out on that event, too. There's no more pressure than any other service, it's just a fact of life. What do you want, them to give you the Indy car and Indianapolis for free just because they have a special event running?
So, where is your reason to assume that iRacing are running an illegal Pyramid scheme? And what did you learn while you were supposed to be studying Business? You didn't make yourself very clear, I'm just assuming you were boasting about a degree by the way, if you don't have this Business Studies degree you were boasting about, then let me educate you. A Pyramid Scheme is an illegal scheme where there are no products or services, just rewards for making more people join. iRacing actually does provide a service, and basically products to rent, so I really can not see where you think they have something like this running or why you're the first person to notice.
I'l give you that I was under the impression that a Ponzi scheme was a Pyramid scheme, which I'm slightly wrong about. Although now knowing the difference, I would say that iRacing was far closer to a Ponzi than a Pyramid, even though it is clearly neither.
Well what other kinds of pyramids are there?
Also, in other news:
Click on the picture.
I clicked on the pic, but nothing happened.
Quite big brake force though.
Quite big brake force though.
I don't think that is a brake force.
There protruded the top of the pyramid.
Will happen with week change.
iRacing are trolling, update has been ****ed up, no NTM for some reason. Man they really do know how to **** stuff up, they never manage anything they say.
Saying that, I have done a few laps now and it's magic, seems like really it is the NTM. The forums go a bit mental sometimes.

Didn't your parents tell you it's not nice to swear.

Do NOT put iRacing pages, we cannot access them.
It's just some dude called Chuck Norris' profile.
Have anyone tried the new V8SC yet? It's actually a pretty decent improvement over the OTM. The default (baseline) setup is still really shit, but I used the rough track setup and it was actually much better. I was able to floor the throttle on corner exit without spinning out like it used to. Not bad I have to say.
Today i renewed my iR subscription as i was away from it for far too long. Hopped in to this Caddy and wow, what a car to give away for free. Still learning it and having a few incidents at Infineon
but this has become my favourite combo so far!The Caddy is awesome. Its all Ive driven since S2.
