Are they doing anything at this point other than spending John Henry's
money on real life racing?   :)

"iRacing.com's mission is to create the world's most authentic, most
sophisticated, most accurate PC-based racing simulations and advance a
new branch of motorsport known as simracing through globally
sanctioned, real-time, online competition."

At least they are having fun racing Pontiac Solstice's around. I would
have loved to run out to Limerock to meet the guys and see what the
heck is going on but I heard nothing of it until well after it was
over.. the "Updates" you sign up for are pretty useless. You would *
think* there would be a demo of something out by now,or at least some
sort of hint to the target arrival date or a pricing scheme...

Also wonder who they have doing the beta testing? I wasn't qualified
apparently as I have only about 15 years sim racing and a short time
doing RL Porsche Club racing. Can't wait to hear what Micheal
Schumacher has to say!

        I was on the beta team very, very early back when they were really
coming down *** guys for "modifying" the old game. I just got really
bored with it myself. I WANNA RACE! Not what they were doing at that
point.It was needed I know, but ugh!

        I thought we were suppose to see something in the spring from them. But
papy has always been like this haven't they? Wait, and keep everyone in
the dark until they were ready to show something. I can't blame them
with the way people act in here and on other boards..hehehe

Well if you want a demo drine NR2003,it's all based on that(hence the
crack down on modders)when it gets here it will be a play for pay
series,I think I'll pass!

Sorry but... Bzzzzt... Incorrect. Although some of the underlying
technology shares some of the N2003 techniques, this is as different
as any sim could be. NR2003 shared techniques of GPL too, but I don't
recall hearing that in order to experience N2003 you should test with
GPL...

About as long as most developers do.

I recently started playing a space game (another genre I like other
than racing simulations) that was 6 years in the making - and the
developers still plan to update it over the next few years.

If you ask any developer to start from near zero and produce a title
(of any sort) I'm sure they can get you a racing game pretty quick,
but it takes a lot longer to create an accurate simulation. I would
have thought more of you would have the knowledge and experience to
realise that things sometimes take time.

To even question whether the product is an "if" is just silly.

I don't usually have trouble understanding what people are trying to
say, but you broke me with that one - no idea what you're saying to
me. lol

So when can we expect a release?  Last I was told was this summer but I
don't see that happening based on the lack of news to date.

 From what I understand,it's based on NR2003,will be a pay for play
game,you will run on IRacing servers,you will not be able to connect to
a buddys IP to race,this is basically the news I have heard. Please
correct me if I'm wrong.

LOL - Me too Gary!

Don't feel too bad... Karting National Champion, F-SuperB, F-1200, F-2000,
F-Dodge
10-12 years of simming......  " not a good candidate "  for beta testing -
lol

It's alright... I'm a road racer not a 'circle'/'left-turner' anyway!  heh
heh
I suspect this product will be Nas***er, um, "Show-Business-Racing" based.
