Pendek menjadi seorang sim racer kadang-kadang mirip dengan menjadi anggota dalam suatu komunitas yang sangat sulit ditemukan. Kecuali Anda salah satu di dalam grup ini, Anda tidak akan pernah tahu bagaimana memiliki komunitas sim racer.

Kami adalah orang-orang yang tergila-gila dan kami suka membicarakan balapan. Tetapi setelah kami membahas hal rasio final gear, senyuman sering kali menghiasi wajah kami dan kami tidak cukup menyadari seberapa besar dunia kami telah berkembang.

So in order for you to appreciate the whole scope of the development of The Sim Racing Community, Allow me to assist with this rabid collection of iRacing facts that should elevate your oratory skills to a whole new level of vortex.

How many people use iRacing?

As of 2021, iRacing reported that they had more than 160000 active members.

Isn’t that number insane?

That is literally more people than losses for some tiny countries.

As the Chief Financial Officer Anthony Gardner noticeable in several interviewed with Cnet in the Beginning of 2020 they hhad in hand around an membership base of 110000 then in some span of weeks it keeps increasing 160000 or indeed a tremendous figure.

Even if these statistics appear exceedingly amazing, I would be utterly astonished to see these figures start to dwindle anytime soon.

Furthermore in under five years how many members we have now could easily double considering how versatile and sufficient recent major development of mainstream users attraction in the current time period.

As long as the inclusion of eSports in the Olympic games provides new perspectives about the future of iRacing along with sim racing as a whole, I feel optimistic.

How realistic is iRacing?

This company, which specializes solely in the development of racing simulations without engaging in other fields, claims that they have the most realistic racing simulator on the market.

To make the experience as captivating as possible, they paid attention to details such as physics, car dynamic controls, and enclosed tracks.

Being an iRacer too, allow me to tell you something which only sim-racers would know, because it is rather an important point.

To begin with, the bulk of iRacing clients are actually site users making its methods even more practical than its counterparts.

It’s possible to connect with other users through the internet and play the game, impolite as it may seem, it is never as effective as racing simulations.

When you log onto the website, you’re always racing against, or rather with, people who are real and are on the same track with the same weather and track conditions.

This also diminishes any potential ways of cheating as it is a major concern in other sim racing games.

Can you cheat on iRacing?

The idea of cheating in this competitive platform automaker iRacing seems to be totally a big lie because that is not the case, they have acquired such a colorful reputation among the racers.

I say “almost” because I cannot comprehend if any unscrupulous person has succeeded in cracking the code and finding a way around the cheating ban.

Yet, I am in a position to state that I do not think it is realistic to say cheating will be possible in iRacing.

One thing for sure is that iRacing is always enhancing its anti-cheat technology. So after you reportedly beat the system, know a ban is fast coming to you.

Can I play iRacing with a controller?

Though at the beginning it may sound thrilling, sim racing with a controller is annoying from the onset.

For drivers or team members using a racing wheel and pedals iRacing was created for them, if you lack these kinds of controls, I suggest returning to Forza horizon or Gran Turismo games.

What are the best iRacing tracks?

This is a question that has been questioned among sim racers for quite some time now and I suppose there will never be a complete or collective answer to the question.

This is certainly a trick question because each racer will have a unique opinion and experience as far as their favorite move is concerned.

However, racing at Silverstone, Spa, Kyalami, and Brands Hatch are also some great runs too.

I consider myself a big fan of the ups and downs of racing on the legendary ‘Ring, but there are quite a few other locations on I racing which I consider attractive too.

What are the best cars on iRacing?

The Mercedes AMG Gt3 and the Ferrari 488 GT3 are some of the most common picks according to some runners and surely to bet others don’t.

In my opinion, the Audi R8 LMS is just as incredible also.

The deviations between the different cars are quite minimal thanks to the fact that all of them are beautifully crafted, so it boils down to one’s preferences.

In fact there are quite a few new improvements and new automobiles or tracks that will be introduced instantly so it is best to keep you head up for the next update.

Can I play iRacing for free?

There is a huge NO to that, I am zipping my mouth after all.

For one to be able to access iRacing there is a subscription that is a must to be purchased.

It is true however, racing at such a high intensity and realistic level does cost quite a lot.

Of course, if you’re only looking to enjoy sim racing and decide to pay only once a month, perhaps you may want to explore other excellent but inexpensive games such as Project Cars 2 or Assetto Corsa.

In my opinion, iRacing is the most realistic racing simulation available to gamers.

Can I trial iRacing?

While it is true that you can download iRacing for free, the account will not be activated, thus there will be no opportunity to drive.

In case you wish to benefit from all that the game offers, then I would suggest getting the subscription as soon as possible.

What cars and tracks come with iRacing?

After you buy their subscription, you will be eligible to get 16 free cars and 22 laser-scan tracks after the payment has been made. It is a good deal.

In addition, you can participate in and race in more than 80 different racing competitions including Indycar and Nascar.

If you decided to buy more add-ons later, then you will be able to buy 200 more laser scanned cars and tracks.

That’s precisely why iRacing stands out as a racing simulation platform with the richest features you can ever find out there.

Thanks to the ability to race a variety of motorsport events, using their campaigns or joining local competitions, it also allows users to drive huge amounts of cars from multiple manufacturers, makes them go over quarterly releases, since co-developing new tracks and cars is iRacing’s core part, and along with it is the expansion to a much larger community, all of the aforementioned allows users to race without getting bored.

To paraphrase, iRacing can be simply described as ‘an epic lifecycle of racing set in the metaverse’ and honestly, that’s quite an astonishing take on racing to say the least.

It’s one of those stories where the end justified the means I guess, in this case, surviving countless months without enjoying things that I’m passionate about, namely racing games.

But if you don’t have any issues with your wallet, you should probably take a leap of faith, as not only you’ll be able to drive 16 cars across 22 tracks, but compete in an array of racing series day and night.

I have constructed an explicit roadmap of topics that emerge around this game, so be sure to keep an eye on any updates posted on our website to have them pieced together.

If there are going to be any questions of sorts this quote or my comments in general raise, feel free to reach out within iRacing or simply leave a comment below, you should be able to find me there.

Racing is the name of the game boys, I shall see you on the tracks, and on the virtual metaverse for some epic skirmishes, or I guess you could call it virtual motorsport.
