And.... it's back up, but says "Content Required" when I try to register for the race.

Edit: Now it's showing a green "Test Car on Track", but it's too late to register...

Im a new to iracing so can someone recommend be the best set up? The budget is between 4-5k €.

Your gonna have a great setup for that money. Since I've only spent 1k so far excluding iRacing content and its good.

I however would suggest:

1k for a computer.
1k for wheel and pedals (Best would be CSE and Clubsport V2)
500 on content
1.5k on triple screens and rig

Pretty good look around Scott's V8 Supercar in that video too. Plus Bathurst looks amazing!

Awesome that Scotty gave me a mention too! :lol: :D
 
Got to 2,000 IR on the oval side tonight. Kinda weird as I race more road than oval, but still kinda cool :)

It's a nice feeling but as soon as I hit that it's been down hill for me ever since for some reason that I'm under 1k now. :dunce:
 
I figure everyone has moved to the "I'll believe it when I see it" stage but any news on the L49? lol

What happened to Jav? He kinda just fell off the face of the 'GTPlanet' awhile ago

They said it may come out before season 3, but they aren't sure.

So, if it comes out this year we should be happy.


And thanks for the congrats on the irating. It's 2100 now after some top split truck fixed races.

Supposedly some cars will be fitted with NTM5 at the end of season build. The Lotus, which is apparently stalled because it requires NTM5, may come a few weeks before the build, as polarbear said.

But frankly, they've been a lot more definitive in their announcements in the past and we all saw how that turned out. I won't be at all surprised if we see the RUF before the Lotus.

Personally, I'm not even sure if I want to buy it and fund this sort of shenanigans any more. Maybe I just stick with the content I've got and use pCARS and AC for my L49 fix.

I believe he's in the same boat as me, too much work and not enough play:tdown:

I really need to jump in some races to at least get those participation credits. Starting this season, I've been racing B class fixed oval which is an easy $7 seeing how almost all races go official. Only gotta race 2 more V8 races to get my 8 for this season. Trying to not pass up that free $10 anymore.
 
I don't mind waiting for the L49 a while longer. Us guys that pre ordered it got a pretty sweet deal, so no complaints here.

@livemusic, thanks for the video, got to watch a couple hours of that race and quali's with the super V8's, I really hope we get "Circuit of Americas", what a killer track. That tower is like 120 feet high I think they said. One day I hope I can drive that super V8 a lot better then I can now. :D

I dont know whats so sweet about it. I paid for content I didnt recieve. They didnt refund any money just iracing credits. The only ones that made out was iracing. IF the L49 is ever released I will probably be long since gone from iracing. :indiff:

If I recall don't you get it for free now since you pre-ordered it and you got credits/money back that people will use anyway.
 
Then what's the story on the RUF?

Loosely targeted to be released in the fall, generally considered to be the next car after the L49. I haven't heard anything about it being out for S3 so presumably it'll be the S4 build. All it would take would be one more delay for the 49 and the RUF would likely make it out first.

Still here, just too far behind in the conversations going on to be relevant...
Like Darryl said, swamped with work and no time to play. Last races I've done have taken a huge chunk of SE and iR, down to A1.56 from 3.56 and down to 2,5xx from 2,8xx iRating...
 
It's funny how they announced so many cars, then never hear about them again after the announcement. I'm still waiting to see some sort of process on the HSV.
 
Yeah. I'm sure the HSV won't be racing IRL next season? Takes some of the fun out of it when driving it online...

I'm pretty tired of that iRacing charasteristic, it's stupid how long they take to get content out. From the time a car is announced to the point where it comes out it has already been retired from racing, pretty pathetic really.
Can't wait for Asseto Corsa to finally come out!
 
I still feel the cars and tracks are not the problem. Its the people and the participation. More cars to me only means more series with less drivers. the Oval side of iRacing is so much more fun and has more people racing. we have less cars, but more tracks. the road side of things is just a crazy free for all.

We already have most of the major racing series represented in some shape or form, what iRacing needs is to focus on expanding those existing series with new content to race in the same class.

Agreed. I'd love to see a multi-car series where multiple cars are actually in the same class.

The HSV? What about the Lotus 49? :lol: Now that's been "close to release" for well over a year now!
