You cannot wait for long to start racing against people but there is most probably one question that you will have to answer first. I am having a great time but one question comes to mind how do I pick my iRacing name ?
This will be your racing identity in iRacing where you will be asked of this every time you race. In fact, there is a name to be put into this that is really yours.
Your iRacing name is the unique identifier that determines who you are while playing iRacing.
Get ready iRacing is not as easy as it sounds and that is why there is something referred to as “Buddy” in iRacing.
There are questions a lot of new recruits will be curious about especially when it comes to organizing and participating in an iRacing session; for example where do I go to find my iRacing name.
