Can't wait till Wendesday when I've got a few days off to get in the Skippy and do some racing at Summit Point, which seems to really suit me. ViR is not working for me.

 

[Attila Domján]

Installed today, tried, and will not drive in it.

Did not feel anything special to me, car handling is nice, graphics also nice but much less fps for me then Race 07 for example.

Biggest let down for me is, that i did not feel at all any speed sensation in the car, like if i would have pushing a trolley in the local supermarket. I know, it maybe can be because of the rookie level low horsepowered practise cars, but i did not like it.

Also do not really like the interent based interface, maybe just because i am not getting used to it.

So, back to racing, but not with this sim.

Too expensive for me ... unless I can make some money back by doing it :lol:
All the physics etc might be right ... and would love to try it and see what it is all about, but I am here for the fun of it all, and at the prices they are charging, it is more than just a bit of fun ...

 

[Hansi Josefsson]

I've also fallen completely for this. Have both the Mazda and the Skippy and Frankly I have never ever driven anything like that Formula Mazda in any simracing before. It is hillariously frigging pure JOY and I guess I am getting it all soon. Whether I'm qualified for series or not. The feeling of the open wheelers is close to perfectionism, I believe!

Does anyone know if the subscription perks (credits) available in the invitations will also be available after the go-live date?

I have my invite, but it sounds like the "bonus credits" may not be available after the public launch.
iRacing.com - Launch Date Announced VirtualR - Sim Racing News

I cant wait to try the Mazda but the skippy is keeping me busy right now
Roll on new track sunday
Ive got the late model but non of the tracks, To be honest the legends are more fun and if im after stockcar I will rather play ARCA

 

[Ricky Willox]

You have to have signed up for a years subscription by the 29th of this month to get the $15 extra.
The $60 credit you get for the years sub will be available after public release as normal

So you would have to sign up for a month with your invitation code then upgrade your subscription to a yearly subscription before the 29th of August. You would get the normal $60 iracing dollars with the years sub and the extra $15 for signing up for the year before the 29th.

Hope this makes sense

Lets go racing!

Hi,

Since I got invited last weekend I've been hard at work in the Rookie class to get my next level of license. Some of the races been good, some not so good...

Even though I've started to appreciate iRacings license and race sessions system, I've started to long for the possibility to race with familiar drivers in all of the races. I've added all names from "the other thread" to my friends list, but I haven't seen any one of you at iRacing yet.

How about that we all agree for a specific day and session time for every series we're in. That way we could soon have a RD iRacing series "the guerrilla way". I believe it would be far more easier to get a strong safety rating if you could race with familiar drivers on a regular basis.

We could for instance use Sundays 19:00 GMT as a "official Race Department iRacing day". No matter what level you're at and no matter what series you're in you'd be far more likely to bump in to a fellow RD racer if we all turn up at a specific day and time every week.

I know some of you used this method for a practice session earlier this week (which I missed) and as far as I know it all worked pretty well.

Does it sound like a good idea?

Kind regards,
Karl

 

[Simon Trendell]

Absolutely, me and Ricky tried last weekend but only we turned up.

So, where are we to meet?
Ideally TeamSpeak but a private iRacing chat room is always an option.

Then it's what series & session to gate crash so to speak.

I can do any series apart from the SK's, Silver Crowns & FM's

 

[Steve Emmons]

Sounds good --- $75 worth of credits if I sign up for a year before the 29th. Nice! Thanks...

 

[Hansi Josefsson]

How about this: First person in opens a chat room www.racedepartment.com for "Members and friends of The Racedepartment"? Then we fill up as we enter the iRacing etc

 

[Gareth Hickling]

Join the club Gareth, me and ViR don't get along too well

Ahh goodbye VIR, Hello summit point in the skippys.

I know what im doing today

 

[Roy Stevens]

Let me no when and wot time ill be there...:thumb:..and well done with the cigarettes Hansi

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Created a new channel in the RD TeamSpeak:

Racing Club - RaceDepartment Forums

4 - iRacing

 

[Karl Westman]

Great to see that you're all up for it (but then, why shouldn't you )

I personally don't think teamspeak is the way to go, as all of us don't use it. I think a iRacing chat room is a better option. Hansis idea sounds good to me.

How many of you are eligible to participate in the Skip Barber? Currently I'm not, but my SF is at 3.50 and I plan to have it up to 4.0 in a short period of time

Kind regards,
Karl

 

[Gareth Hickling]

I will be up for the 3:15 at summit point in the Barber.

 

[Roy Stevens]

I will race in the 3:15 in the barber..my sf is 4.99...:thumb:

ill be on ts

 

[Karl Westman]

I'd love to join you in the Skippy, but my SF is only 3.58 Some people can't understand that the Solstice Rookie season isn't about winning but about learning and building a strong SF. If I got a $ for every time I've been rammed from behind I would have my finances sorted for the rest of the year

Kind regards,
Karl

Please add me to the list..

I signed up today and have to say that it was very straightforward and painless. Spent part of the afternoon chugging around Lime Rock in the Solstice getting used to the physics and everything else configured.

Is anyone using the FFB and how do you find it? I sort of gave up on it in Race 07 and turned it off.

Hope to see you on the track soon.

Added to list.

I use FF and think its great in iracing just got to make sure you dont have it up too high as its very strong.

Wasnt sure if you were asking how the feedback felt or where the settings were.

Force feed back setting's: Start a test session or any session and go to options top right. All wheel config setting are there.
