UKiR inventory list - please update a.s.a.p!

This is very interesting.

Looking at the data so far there's a lot more people owning more tracks than I expected.

My intention was to introduce Barber and Mosport as the 'new' tracks for next season but very nearly everyone has them already so I'm wondering if there's an opportunity to open this up now and just use whatever tracks seem appropriate and use this info. to make the decisions.

[Adam Parle]

Sooner or later it's going to get to the point that most of us will have most of the road content, and whatever we do or run is going to be expensive to newcomers.

I'd vote for opening up the track selection, and if we want to cater for newer iRacing members we run 4 week championships in the Skippy/MX5 until the newcomers are prepared to sell a kidney and grab the content we're racing in the "main" SRouk iR championships.

I for one would still participate in an MX5 mini-series, even if the tracks were a little overly familiar to me.

You might find some of the people that have all/most of the road racing content anyway would enjoy an iRacing "Noobs" series too, on a different night of course. Of course that would involve having someone to organise it, but I can see there being interest. JonM for example only has the "free" content and I know there are quite a few SRF fans out there too or people that want to give the trial a go, but don't want to do the public racing.

SRF + free tracks until the MX-5 comes out and alternate the SRF and MX-5 every 4 weeks or something. This way you still cater for the newcomers until, like Adam says, they think it's worth spending a load more on getting the content they need to join the series with "addon" tracks/cars.

So that's 4 iRacing series to keep us occupied. Maybe then I'll feel I'm getting my monies worth. UKiR#1, UKiR#2, UKiR-LateModels and UKiR-Noobs.

  there's only so much iXcitement one man can take!

Just tried to access the spreadsheet and it comes up wanting me to log in.

[mr_oily]

Oooh that's a new one - you want to try it again?

[spanner]

Nope same again. this is the page i get;

https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLogin?service=wise&passive=1209600&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fspreadsheets.google.com%2Fccc%3Fkey%3D0AnORWLw4WYLMdFlLUzNGMWFfb2FrTThoR2F4d2pXTnc%26hl%3Den%26authkey%3DCJHW0v4D&followup=http%3A%2F%2Fspreadsheets.google.com%2Fccc%3Fkey%3D0AnORWLw4WYLMdFlLUzNGMWFfb2FrTThoR2F4d2pXTnc%26hl%3Den%26authkey%3DCJHW0v4D&hl=en

Its just a page that tells me what they are, take a tour and on the right login and password boxes

[picnic]

Spanner, do you have an account with Google, a gmail one for instance?

[Kerr]

Filled it out.

I'm short of a few on the newer road courses but will buy them when needed.

[spanner]

I dont have a google account, its a bit silly if its a google only feature

[Simon Gymer]

I don't have a Google account either and it worked for me...

I clicked on the link in the first post and then when it came up with the error I just pressed refresh on the page and it appeared.

[Legzy]

I also can't access it because it wants my google log in details.

But it's kind of a pointless exercise anyway. Surely if the organisers choose to put on a series, the few people with minimal content will choose to buy or sit out. No reason that should effect what has obviously been the majority (90% I reckon) for what, 6 months. If you're getting into iR & think it's going to be cheap, you're going to be disappointed.

If that upsets someone, man up.

Details filled in.

[Legzy]

P.s. Slightly contradictory, but I forgot to mention that I like the idea of a beginners 4 race season thing. I'd take part if I could.

[picnic]

If beginners equals slow coaches I'd be up for it to. I miss the days of Div1 & Div2, I'm always trawling around at the back these days.
