zedfonsiethe track is art and it deserves a place.
So ive been stoked to try indy ovals but then I join a practice session and notice im dead last. I panicked and thought myself a failure. Then I tried again and this time I notice everyone is in one big pack drafting each other like no tommorow! I joined in the fun and experienced a huge blast!
Cant wait to do some races...
sandboxgodYeah that was great fun. Just finished my 1st Indy Oval-Fixed race. Took 6th place somehow... Early in the race I lightly touched the wall. This slowed me down a little bit. I was kind of bummed thinking it was all over but then a wondrous thing happens. Theres a big wreck and the caution flag comes out. I go pit to fix the damage and come back out. I think bout half the field wrecked out by the time the race ended.
I want to do some more races
So glad I took the time to earn this Oval C license. I kept putting it off forever.
I think $75-$100 would be good for the Nordscheife. I was rethinking it and a $150 is a bit much. But if it came down to it and it was $150, I'd pay it.
A poll in the iRacing forum is a good idea. I don't realistically see the Nordscheife coming to iRacing, but I also never seen a RUF coming so.......
I think the nurburgring package should be 49.95$, the track is art and it deserves a place.
sandboxgodHey so as far as I know we got bout 2-3 Indy Oval fans. I'll make sure you guys on my friends list. I know I got superbike on it. Would be cool to practice or at least holla at you guys in a session.
I did another Indy Oval-Fixed last night. Qualified to 11th out of 17 cars. I see I am still kind of slow but due to a big wreck I somehow get put up there at 2nd place. Would've had a chance to maybe take the win or finish awesomely if I was a bit faster. but since I'm still slower then the others I was lucky to just finish 8th. Need to work on my Oval skills some more. you would think it would be a breeze. Just turn Left and follow the magic green driving line. But even though I am doing that with the gas floored (no brakes) these dudes are pulling away a little. So just gotta work on that. But this can be expected I was racing against many respected Indy Oval vets last night.

edit: Thank God for iSpeed Lap Analyzer! I had no idea people were changing gears. I never changed a single gear all my races so far![]()
I just sent you a friend request (coming from Richard) a little earlier! I might race tonight after I practice in an attempt to improve my qualifying time. The goal is to get into 25.6s. Atm my Qualify time is 25.8![]()
I know to a road-only driver that sounds close but really that's too big a gap for Oval racing at these speeds to keep up with the pack.
Funny enough, I was going to post about the Nordschleife price, thinking that 50$+ would be a fair price, considering the track is 5-6-7 times a regular track. Including the GP circuit even 8 times the length of an average track.
Even spending 100$ would seem much, but the awesomeness of all the bumps and jumps and the carussell ... epicness would be undiscribable!
Perhaps if a poll at iRacing forums would be started, how much customers would pay for the ring, who knows, maybe iRacing would then consider doing the job...
There are so many Ring versions out there, GT5 being a really great one! but laser scanned Nordschleife... do I need to say more?!

Yeah but - of course everyone here and most of the hardcore players/drivers will pay almost anything. Problem is, iRacing has to remain somewhat profitable so they need to offer the tracks at a price that most people are happy to pay - not one that is necessarily fair.
I received 106$ for my sold HD PVR, I want to buy some iracing tracks/cars.
I'm a class c driver, WHAT SERIES SHOULD I BUY!
I was thinking:
Ford mustang/ Riley DP series
Ford mustang series
Skip barber series
GT series (hpd and c6r)
Help me choose!
zedfonsieI have one question, when you see REGISTERED (5) Is the 5 representing the amount of races or the amount of people?
I'm thinking about star mazda, looks like a pretty popular series.
