Hi guys,

I'm about to reach a SR of 4.0 as a Rookie.
Now, I am thinking of either buying the Jetta TDI Series or the Skip Barber Series and the tracks I will need to drive them properly.
I love close racing but I would also rather describe myself as a fan of RWD and also I seem to be faster in them, compared to FWD.

Every tip from an iRacer that has driven both series will be greatly appreciated.

Jetta is a great car, close racing too - if you like FWD in Simbin games you'll get along with it alright.

Skippy is also great, harder to drive though and easier to lose SR with - again you can have some close races like in the Jetta.

I'd say get both and some tracks that are run in both series, get 3 things = 10% discount and 6 gives a 20% discount.

I have raced the Skippy series and i really love this car.
i fell more comfortable with open wheelers for some reason.
I you like the solstice car you will propably like the jetta.
If you dont like solstice you will propably like the skippy.
Totally diferent felling. My tip get both cars and test

Regards
Kimmo Tuisku

I got back 18 dollers ..but i spent £128 yesterday ....Got indycar and corvette...think i only need 6 tracks now and iv got um all

Since you're 4.0 you'll be able to drive the Mazda soon

- Licence promotion is next week
- FastTrack will be active this week or next week
- Getting from R 4.0 to D 4.0 is easy

I bought the Skip Barber but hardly used it, the Mazda is so much nicer to drive. Others seem to like the Skip Barber, though. I personally don't.

Wouldn't it have been cheaper to buy all then?
25% instead of 20% rebate translates into 33% lower prices if I'm not wrong...

Mosport released

Not on the frontpage yet, but available for download in the tracks section

Think I'm gonna buy it now, together with pre orders for the Vette and Dallara to get my 10% discount.

 

[Ben Tusting]

I noticed this a second ago

:woop:

 

[Ben Tusting]

is there any events up with Mosport?

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Not yet, but once the Vette and Dallara are released they both will have a 1 week '13th week'. My guess is Mosport will be there too :wink2:

Edit: downloading Mosport :woop:

 

[Douglas Lundberg]

Just drove some laps there. Great track, one of the best track in iracing if not the best one...

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Yeah, awesome to drive the Lotus here :woop:

 

[Ben Tusting]

I drove some laps with Mazda = Fail

 

[Willem Fischer]

Hosted racing is here now!

Does anyone want to join races with fellow RaceDepartment members?

We would have to agree on cars and tracks, because some would have to buy them first...

I particularly like the ovals, because there is nearly no other sim that offers them.

 

[Kevin Ascher]

Okay, I'll go for both the Skippy and the Jetta.
What tracks can you recommend to me?

 

[Bram Hengeveld]

Kev in a FWD Can someone make a movie of that?

 

[Kevin Ascher]

I'll drive backwards Bram

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

Okay, I'll go for both the Skippy and the Jetta.
What tracks can you recommend to me?

Take a look at the schedule for both, quite some tracks are used in both series so those might be a good pick. What tracks do you have already?

 

[Kevin Ascher]

What tracks do you have already?

I didn't buy any extra content yet.

 

[Sander Hogendoorn]

VIR, Infineon & Barber are my least favorite road tracks I think, I would recommend Road America, Silverstone, Mosport, Road Atlanta & Sebring.

 

[Gary Lennon]
