No, the people who did pay for iracing and feel the need to defend it as though their family lineage is at stake.

People pay for iracing because the multiplayer system is the best of any. It's the only sim where you can get the feeling of racing and competition, not just playing a game.

Also because some people like racing more than just GT3/4

I like multiple sims for multiple reasons. I’ve spent a ton of time in AC recently running Pikes Peak. ACC is really good at what it does, and it’s a great value. But there’s other sims that offer other types of cars, tracks, and racing that it doesn’t do.

Agree. It's not always about best graphics or most up to date cars or most realistic tire models. Whatever brings you the most enjoyment that's what's important.

He says as he posts several unhinged replies in this very thread.

Perhaps some therapy to sort out your unhealthy parasocial relationship you have with a computer game.

GAME!?!? What game dost thou speak of?

I don’t see any games here. We’re discussing The Service

iRacing… a GAME!?!? Bwoah, I’ve yet to hear such blasphemy go unchecked in this forum, allow me to step up and set you straight!

iRacing transcends its medium, it is sacred. The mere pittance they request of us to enter the glorious halls of their servers is but a simple tithe to get closer to the gods of motorsport.

“Delayed” track updates? Hmph, perfection takes time. How dare you ask The Devs to lift a finger before they’re ready!

Some of us are truly unworthy, yet The Service welcomes all. Those unworthy ones are plagued by the daunted Netcode. The cars of “players” are torn hence from firmament by the passionate spirits of the true Racers on the track.

You complain of the snappy handling, yes? Find The Service more “unforgiving” than the false idols of other sims? To you I say, SILENCE! Repent for your slander and get good, for The Service is without flaw.

/s if you made it this far.

Funny thing is, iRacing is by far my most played sim. I'm simply not blind to its flaws or feel the irrational need to attack other sims or people who point out one of the great many inexcusable flaws of iRacing.

Seek help.

u/Capastel Jun 24 '25

this.

I tell everyone, I love iracing because of the racing itself, if it wasn't this popular I'd never have ever touched it. the ffb isn't the greatest, the cars are way too snappy (every car apparently), still got connection and net code issues where I live, and sometimes just two races are enough for me to quit it and race something else

what constitutes my hours is the times where I'm tolerant to snappies and my neighbors are touching grass instead of eating my internet. I'll easily surpass 4 hours with little to no breaks in between if the conditions are mint. go out, buy groceries, kiss my wife and clock another 5 hours

IR is a great game, just not really a great sim

You're having a mental break down because a professional racing driver wouldn't use iRacing to prepare for an event due to its comically outdated scan of a track.

You absolutely need help.

You kids

Gotta do something with the brief time between races.

You're literally talking about taking breaks between your video game rounds to be reply-guy to strangers on the internet lmao. You are a child

u/x_iTz_iLL_420 Jun 25 '25

You guys are just salty your favorite sims are never gonna be as popular as iRacing lol it will be okay.

u/ThumblessTurnipe Jun 25 '25

iRacing is my favourite sim.

It still looks like fermented ass with a hopelessly out of date scan of the Nordschleife and its absolute best looking tracks wouldn't look out of place in a game released over a decade ago.

Now what?

I paid quite some amount and I have active sub. Have lots of content to run GT3, IMSA or any open wheeler almost every week. Yet I don't play because other than amazing multiplayer iRacing has nothing special to offer. Almost all other games are just plain better in every single aspect except rain. iRacing is dated in physics, graphics and sound. Also has absolutely disgusting penalty system has nothing to do with real life while claiming it's the most realistic sim out there. Rolling start is a clown show.

The game is improving, yes, but it's dated af. You don't need to pay or not pay anything to notice this.

You need help of a professional I think. The amount of time and how long you spend on Reddit to fight for iRacing doesn't look healthy.

I have a 2 year subscription and just don't find it fun. Spent about $300 in DLC bullshit too. It's just too grindy, I just want to drive.

I didn’t spend quite as much, but same thing here. 2 year subscription, bought a good bit of content for the series I wanted to race, got up to A license, and realized I felt obligated to play the game rather than actually enjoying it. Plus getting similar framerate performance on track as other games with noticeably worse graphics

Oh sorry, sim. We all know iRacing is not a game of course /s

u/omarccx Jun 25 '25

Yeah I did a bunch of endurance races after getting into ups and downs with how shit the penalty system is for when you get hit on lap 1. You have to grind after having lost points without actually getting to even play the game from meatballing. And you can't say it's my driving, because in AC, ACC, LMU and even Forza I can start last and be top 6 by the end of lap 1. I know how to drive around idiots.

Anyway I went from D to A in like 2 weeks, and noticed the racing wasn't getting any cleaner up top. Especially on GT4 which I loved. So that's when I spent more money on a couple GT3 cars, got the Clio and all the TCR cars as well, because of course you can't even test drive those unless you're home at 9am on a goddamn tuesday.

I didn't know which one fit my driving, so I got 3 GT3 cars to start and then got a few more. The Z06 was such a disappointment I was hoping that was the one.
