Yes, it's real, available to new and existing members; http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=186592825479Looks like it's a very short term deal.

Don't think I'll jump at the chance when their web servers have all gone down just as I was about to do a Skippy race...

There's well over 100 people online in iRacing at the moment, might be just you Dave.

Although attractive this deal sounds a bit odd to me. Coming just a few weeks after they reduced prices already.
It seems directed at generating some quick cash.

All other sites working - you can't get a 500 if your connection is down unless you have a proxy locally. Came back up 2 minutes too late but I wasn't going to risk it, did some UKGTR practice and then some Corvette stuff.

So what this means is that for those who took up the radical trial, you can get a years sub with all the road tracks (except rovals) for near as damn it 100 squids. Go on, you know you want to

If you factor in getting a few $iR back on the participation credits this becomes very cheap. However, I suspect the participation credit won't last more than a season or two.
The membership growth since the prices came down and private Hosting became available has been pretty good, participation in the official series at the higher classes has been up so I suspect they're doing this to tie in a significant part of the membership to a longer term commitment.

I won't get any participation credits as I'm not planning on doing any public races. But, under the assumption that league racing will continue for the next 13 months, I've gone and taken this offer to add to the 3 months I just bought. I must be mad! Still not bought any of the new cars or tracks yet as I don't have time to try them until TSPortal v1.0 is out of beta.

I resubbed to july 2011. I can't imagine not getting 45 quids worth from a year, even if it turns out not to be exactly what I want.

Yeah, I jumped at another year too Even if I were only subbing so I could join in the SRouk league racing I think I'd have gone for it.
