I paid my 20 bucks for a month of iRacing and put a bunch of laps on both
the Solstice and the Legends car. I have to be the slowest out
there.....:-). I finally got the Solstice down to the 1.09s at Limerock and
am still 4-5 seconds slower than the competitive guys...:-). Still, after a
couple of races (last....:-) I paid up for a year just because it is really
nice to race in an environment where instead of getting flamed for being
slow, guys actually gave me some tips to help get the speed up. I was very
aware of my mirror and gave room for faster cars but there were still a few
that were in the same boat as me.....:-). Everyone races clean and light
bumps are not penalized, so you can race hard too.

Offending is my forte'! iRacing is for sandal wearing fags that need to be
spoon fed their pablum and rFactor is for cool geeks that like to tinker.

Fag!

Um, no it isn't. It is purely user choice as to what you install and play
in rFactor. The base game has the fantastic trainers so there is no need to
install any mods if you don't want to.

Mods are user choice and not mandatory.

I'm not driving online at all, ***wit. Just because of what I mentioned.
But IF you wanna drive rF online, you better get your five braincells together
and start a server with your buddies. Who's talking about a league, moron?

Yeah, you're as dumb as those twits complaining about the DVD check for
Historic GT....

Don't stress his feeble brain, it might pop...

And off course you'll have loads of people to race if you just stick with
the original content. <ROLLS EYES>

So? You just install a few of the more popular online racing mods. What's
so confusing about that? Hopefully you are rolling your eyes because you
are on your death bed.

Well excuse me for being so "dumb"

but it would have been NICE to find out this "little requirement" BEFORE
doing the 6 large downloads.

I don't know about complaining re: the need --- but I do know the problems
with NOT TRYING TO LET PEOPLE KNOW IN ADVANCE of their downloading time and
bandwidth. That's STUPID or DUMB

This should be the first line of the "mod" description:

NOTE - GTL DVD REQUIRED TO INSTALL THIS er, mod.

It's so easy and yet the decision seems to have been made to make this point
somehow moot.

******* FINAL NOTE ********

Due to the use of GTL's 3D models, and the big respect we have for the great
work Simbin did creating that game, a valid GTL DVD is going to be required
to install the mod in rFactor.

------ oh, yeah, after getting this far..... if you don't have a GTL DVD -
throw away everything you have done up to here.

Final point? WTF. That should have been the FIRST point. Not the last.
