I may be missing something, but why is there only 18 cars for a game which costs £100 a year?
It's closest to real life racing-simulator nowatime, and their only goal is to change sim-racing to be serious online-sport, and same time training tool for real-life racers, who have no chance to fly all over U.S to go test the tracks and setups.
In these days it's very clear, that every racing-team wants to save money, and this Sim gives first time that opportunity. Many real-racers have said that it really gave them chance to be fast since first laps, when they actually were in that track, what they did train in iRacing.
It's like, you can buy some nice flying-simulator, and fly with many planes all around the world with joystick, something like 39.90... or you can buy best flying-sim what there is available, maybe same what flying-companies use for training, and maybe you really could fly in-real if you ever get that chance.
It's so deep and very very racing-oriented experiement, and hard to describe without writing book. Go to check iRacing's YouTube-channel, and their marketing video, where guy talks about what iRacing wanted to be.
If you like more Sims like Gran Turismo, where you can chill out, and cruise all around tracks with hundreds of different cars, without stress... iRacing aint for you.
Almost everyone in iRacing is very serious in that, so it's racing-etiquette, knowledge, and manners are very impressing... and how good can humans be in sim-racing! I was shocked when I realized how fast those Aliens can drive those cars, and not just one lucky laps, but they can repeat it 50 times in a row!
It's all about racing, hours and hours practising, hours and hours doing setups.... and again racing. Rookie-races are almost half hour long, and those are called 'sprint-races'
