Just subscribed as its 50% off over Xmas, one years membership is €7.50 = £6.60 so not bad. Allows you to race on quite a few different leagues, gets you an hours free coaching etc, etc. I joined the server today for Silverstone and this evenings race, but my kids have just returned and my Grandson will be in bed. Shame really as there are 15 guys down to race.

I visited the rF2 forums this afternoon Si and it all started from there (the forum explains it).. I got a little bored trying the hotlaps and thought if I'm going to invest on a DD wheel (and probably butt kicker etc) I should look into a little more racing use.

 Yes I've looked at iRacing in the past too. As I know I'm very time limited with my racing, anything that takes a monthly payment isn't a good investment for me at the moment.

Getting there Tony, although Im still to join in with the premium guys yet. Kids and my Grandson flew back to India today and my Son also left for Canada, so a little time to ourselves again phew!! Spent the whole day trying to get the house back in shape. I'll be starting the search for a DD wheel and Buttkicker in the next few days, so will have to justify the expense by more racing  |

Why buy iracing when you can join Sim Racing Sytem. It's like ir with a drivers/safety rating but it's free. They support assetto corsa, automobilista and rfactor2(well, not right now they are update de plugin after the dx11 update).

Since there is no golf at the moment I've entered a race tomorrow morning (09.00hr) on the Racedepartment site. It's hosted by the Aussies, hence in the morning and it's racing Nissan GT500's (never tried them) at Istanbul Park (never drove it) so a bit of a learning curve. Visited the server this afternoon to try to get to grips with both car and track and managed to get into low 1.51's. Really happy as the car is a minefield with so many different set up options, even has a third Spring, whatever that is  . Then I was just about to leave when a guy joined and within 5 laps was doing 1.49's  . Anyway, hopefully I can nick a set up in the morning if I can't improve my times later on. |

I thought I knew pretty much all there was to know about car suspension but clearly every day's a school day |
