I second jav's recommendation that year deal for fifty bucks is almost half price... Can't beat that (xbl is what $8.99 per month now?). In any case, the biggest thing that I noticed is that there are no real casual racers, you know, the public lobby kids killing time til the next first person shooter comes out. Although Iracing does a good job matchmaking in lobbies and at events, sometimes I would find myself just wanting to keep the wheel and pedals in the closet and throw my feet up on the couch, grab a controller and find a lobby for a couple races after work, before bed. In Iracing, this isn't really an option. You can tune your car by yourself which is great but it is a more difficult game and thus can get quite frustrating if you aren't concentrating. All on all though, it is a true sim with all of the benefits and drawbacks that come along with sims, so I you are looking for a challenge and a bigger sense of accomplishment its great. To be "good" takes a lot of time, dedication, and consistency. Lastly, I you are doing any sort of club racing, or thinking of doing so, it's a great way to learn how to explain how a car is acting and what the possible causes of said actions are. The tuning, physics, grip, and track schematics and layout are much more true to life on I racing. You will think you are driving on a 5 lane freeway on gt5 after giving Iracing a whirl ( yes tracks really are that narrow in real life). Anyhoo... I hope this helps, and I'm sure jav has a few things to add... If you do end up taking the plunge, let us know... I'm looking for an excuse to take advantage of that $50 special they are having.

Yes!!! Still would love too.
If everyone is ok with it. We could do a small shoot at Monaco and i then have all of Div 1 cars. If Div 2 wants to do a shoot say around 7 pm or even after the race. I would like to get them done too.
Basically we just drive off about ten seconds apart at 60 mph for one lap. I then can go through and get each car at the same spot.
Oh try to follow a somewhat race line. We all should be similar spots.
So paintable cars. Wheels changeable cars. Have your car color and wheels picked out. This be your color.
Also may incorporate those players cards. Actually. I will. If you need to change suits for the series do so Sunday. I will want to get those from everyone too.

Poor Magz. He shouldn't feel bad. I worry about the tracks I've never heard of. Now I am almost scared. Magz is a good driver.

I'd love so much to get into PC sims, especially with C.A.R.S. coming soon.
But I haven't got a PC, or the money to afford iracing. I'd get rfactor at first, but most people I know right now have iracing, like the lot of you. It's a lot harder, but i've been good in rfactor, the short time I played the game. Hoping that someday I cna get myself a nice Desktop PC, with some good hardware.

Every PC I got fails one way or another. Lap top for Mastercam. Graphics card not on par.
Tower at home is just to slow everywhere.
I was gutted about my work PC not able to run it.
Figured if I'm gonna build a PC. Might as well go full tilt and get maximized graphics and Frame rates.
Actually on our local forum a guy is doing a sweet PC with radiators and stuff.
Thinking maybe going this route. CNC my case with pecan and lights maybe. Hahaja

Did a 5 lapper with Magz and pipi a second ago. Magz was wall riding everywhere 
The real verdict we came to was, overtaking is impossible at Monaco. Draft isn't strong enough in the tunnel, or into turn 1. My only hope was to get a better exit off of the corners, but even then, it's really a burrow through for position, and someone will get damaged.
Back to Sim racing. I am slightly leaning towards rfactor over iracing, simply because it is free, being a 15 year old, money like $50 a year won't be given to me by my mother to race PC sims all day, especially wen rfactor is out there, free once you purchase it, with more users online, and several more mods. Iracing gets the edge over it in simplicity, though, looks a lot less simple than to have to be downloading mods all of the time, then finding other drivers with exactly your cars and tracks.
Not only that, but a lot more GTP users have iracing, so i'd be a little pulled towards that. This all doesn't matter anyway, since I don't have a PC, nor the money for one. Maybe if I win that GTOmega, I can sell it, and buy a PC with iracing, plus pick myself up a big screen computer screen to race with. Wheel Stand Pro already keeps my wheel together, but it doesn't mean I don't want a step up. The GTOmega is probably too large for my room anyway

Pretty much gonna have to use patience. Hope for a mistake or different pit strategy.
Also to be fair if someone is up your tail pipe for a lap or two. Let them by. Don't be that guy.

The uphill straight after turn 1 is the place to pass imo. Turn 4 right before the hairpin might be another.
