AI Drivers are Coming to iRacing This Year

[F1Aussie]

Got an answer from iRacing. The offline AI mode will be subscription based as well.

Bugger, was looking forward to dipping my toes into this but if I have to pay a monthly subscription to access expensive content that I already own then I might just pass after all.

Their explanation; without a subscription, people wouldn’t be members and still have access to iRacing.

The offline mode with AI is for free for (current) members. So you are in luck.

I dont get it ? You were already a member and purchased additional content already, but now don't want to pay a subscription fee ?
If you paid all this money for extra cars/tracks etc surely the extra few dollars for your subscription fee is very little in comparison...Especially if you renew your membership under a promo code.

I am not a current member though.

No I am not a member, never gave been cos I don't do online racing. I was hoping that with the AI coming if all you did was offline racing then there would be no subscription. As mentioned everywhere iRacing has the most expensive content and i was thinking that maybe if you only raced offline then you may just pay for the content. A bit like raceroom.

If you wait until AI update is released, grab a new member promo code, sign up for a month and try it out. You could prob try for a month for only a few dollars and if you don't like, don't resubscribe. You do get enough content on base subscription to keep you busy for a month at least.
You never know maybe it'll get you interested in a bit of online competition too.

Yes, I think I will try that, I saw some links to promo codes and they look enticing.

It's definitely worth trying it out. I very much enjoyed my time with it for several months maybe six years ago, but the subscription model plus paid unlocks is a bit much I think.

I'm interested in the suberb laser scanned and modeled tracks.
