Online still active?

Looking to pick this game up while on sale, was wondering if the online lobbies still get a decent amount of players on steam. Enough for a 30+ car field?

The lobbies still get players, however, I haven't seen enough yet to make a 30+ field. I run a league called NOSRL and have found people interested in it. Our community is currently at 14 people with four new prospects trying out for free membership this week. You would be welcome to join us. Just add me as a friend and we'll go from there.

i would be interested in possibly joining the league depending on what time races are hosted and the rest of the details

Hi Q-Tip,

Our races are on Saturdays. Our Cup series is 50% length and starts at 10 am Pacific 1 pm Eastern, our Xfinity series is 25% length and starts at 1 pm Pacific 4 pm Eastern, and our Truck series starts at 3:30 pm Pacific 6:30 pm Eastern. Our Cup series has a start date of Jan 7, 2023. Our Xfinity and Truck series start dates will be determined when we have two more drivers sign up for Xfinity and and three more for Trucks. Which looks like it will happen within the next week.

[HiwayMn81 (Paul)]

When I joined a lobby about 30 minutes ago, I was only racing 3 real people the rest was AI

Yep, this is why league racing helps bring more people together

Hi Gunfighter--I am interested in joining your league. Used to race with the Hammerdown Racing team in the ASRL with Nascar 2003 about 15 years ago. Just getting back into racing. Let me know if I can tryout for your league. I am on a PC and practicing to get safe and competitive. Thank you

I still know of a league that runs NR 2002 and NR 2003 -CCR. Though I would never be accepted either place due to me preferring to run with a keyboard over a wheel.

It’s active, but laggy…as of Tuesday. Haven’t been on it since.

[HiwayMn81 (Paul)]

Lag is caused by players having low internet speed

Or intermittent connections not to mention wireless or satellite internet. Though don't know if it would qualify to warp levels like in NR 2003... Though NH5 has had some wild online shenanigans:

I have Verizon FIOS Gigabyte, so I don't have low speed. I can iRacing, no prbolem. I'm also hard wired into the connection. It just started recently. Wreckfest is the same way. Other games aren't.
