Finally iRacing one month FREE trial is here

[spanner]

Noticed the Radical offer was still up so have signed up for it. Shame you guys arn't running them though!

Add your name to the iracing list so we can keep an eye on you

[spanner]

what list is that?

Will be trying it out next weekend as its a big download.

Ive just activated this free offer and got it all set up.

Have to say im quite impressed, once i got the controls to how i liked it.

Was running the Radical round Silverstone and it felt really good. Was only doing test mode to get everything setup properly, havnt ventured into any official sessions yet as i want to feel comfortable first and fear of being new 

Are there any guides on setting up the cars?

You'll see in the iR forum a Car & Track Discussion area, there you should find some set up help on specific car types as well as user made sets. Look out for anything made by Volker, considered by most of us to be a good starting point.

Forgot to say you may find help in your own iR Regional forum as well!

Thanks Don.

Im really liking it, did a practise session in the Spec racer at Lime Rock and was only a second off the quickist guys so not to bad.

I am finding the whole series, sessions, and everything a little confusing at the mo, and i cant seem to find the Time Trials  to get my SR rating up. Am i doing something wrong? only sessions i see are practise, qually and race

We're in 'week 13' (there's always 12 official weeks followed by on 'off' week primarily to launch the new build of the software) so at the moment so there's no timetrials available this week.

The new season starts on Tuesday so they'll be back then.

Hope to see you on Tuesday night in the Skippy @ Summit

[Gazza49er]

aha thanks popabawa, thought it was something like that 

I would love to join ya but would mean me buying the skippy and might be a bit early for me being so new to it.

Bit of a dilemma now you've got the leagues, really want to try it but also i love my GTR2 

How long would i need to subscribe for to do the season here?

[popabawa]

We're running 6 races (and one test event) on alternate weeks this season so you'd need a 3 month subscription.

Now you don't have to wait until the end of the season to get promoted you'll get your D license pretty quickly anyway I imagine and so you'll maybe want to get the Skippy then anyway?

[Stewprovo]

I've just registered and DL'd game, what an awesome thing it is!! The radical round Silverstone is awesome! Going to be doing loads more practice over the weekend, and trying to figure out how everything works, like friends lists etc. How do I find you lot on there? And any advice for a iracing noob would be gratefully received.

IIRC you don't get promoted from Rookie to D instantly - you have to wait until the end of Week 4.

EDIT: scratch that, you can get instant promotion from Rookie and D but not instantly demoted from D.

I just signed up for the free month & purchased the skippy, so have paid about £7 to use the game for a month, so I'll be at the 1st two Skippy races for sure). If I like it I'll subscribe after that.

Just in case you hadn't noticed gazza, there is a 1 month free trial offer with the radical and silverstone bundled:

[popabawa]

That trial has been going for a long time now, I'm surprised it's still on. That's a sweet deal though!

[Adam Parle]

Might be a nice idea to get an unoffical race running with that combo - give some non-iRacers a cost free route in to trying and racing a "proper" iRacing car.
