Wasn't at home until earlier today. Is there any way to still get the code? Seems to be unfair that they favour people who do not have to work on friday evenings and saturdays.

Yes I know, I was also working and will be tomorrow too, but I'm lucky enough to have an internet connection at work. Hope you get your code!

Well I got the whole package, and the website also mentioned that due to overwhelming demand they have extended the number of full-content codes over 500. They did not tell how much over 500 however..
I don't know anything about the game, except that I saw it on Steam a while back and decided to go for iRacing. (They had a lot worse deal than this, but how was I supposed to know )
I'm quite disappointed with iRacing so if R3E is anything close to what it says on the tin I'm happy with my purchase. Just another step on my endless quest for clean online racing, which is what landed me here. Well that and the craving for a Mazda 787B for Assetto Corsa
Treat the new dude gently, please.

I don't know I've you have seen this but there you go.

Yes I got the mazda, cheers mate

Does anybody know how much disk space is required for the whole content?

I'm afraid I need to buy a new HDD since I've only ~ 40 gb left.

Ricky78 · Nov 29, 2015

Right now RRRE uses 16.8 GB of HD space.

It requires just as much diskspace as if you own no content at all. Buying content just unlocks it in the game for you, all the cars and tracks are downloaded when you install the game.

This is an excellent deal!
With the 500 keys that sold pretty quickly I hope Sector3 will realize this is the way to go or make this deal available more through out the year.....steam summer and Christmas sale would be great times.
With all the new content in the plans and older content getting updated this title is really coming together and becoming what we hoped for.

Alx^ · Nov 30, 2015

Yes indeed. (If they add ratings and scheduling/signups)

Hopefully they've made enough cash this weekend to decide that selling only in packs/experiences/job-lots is a viable way forward, and ditch the piecemeal approach completely

I do though still think if it's been successful enough they should draw a line under it and offer this deal as a permanent thing. Sell this exact bundle/offer as R3E, and offer the f2p one as a time unlimited demo or something.

Mind you I suppose then there will be people who will moan about that. Must be a right pain in the buttocks being a dev, so many armchair critics *cough* like me *ahem*

Thx mate. So a silly question comes to my mind: If it installs the whole content by now, will it install new content in the future, even if I don't buy it?

Ricky78 · Nov 30, 2015

Yes, for example the next Audi Sport TT Cup.

Reik Major · Nov 30, 2015

Hm... not sure if I like that. Means they fill up my HDD even if I don't play it or buy anything.

Ricky78 · Nov 30, 2015

But it's usefull because you can try the new content and join to competitions also if you don't own that content.

Reik Major · Nov 30, 2015

Ah OK. Didn't know. A lot to learn once I've got it running.

1. Harddrivespace is dirt cheap today, the same €50 you paid for the game gets you a 1TB disk..
2. If you don't like it, uinstall it...
The benefits of their approach far outweighs the drawbacks imo, just like @Ricky78 mentioned you can try every car for free without having to download anything, as well as participate in competitions.
Also, how would you be able to race against cars that you don't own if you haven't downloaded them already?
