Stupid to pay a monthly fee.

Just get Asseta Corsa

The monthly fee keeps the casual gamers out just fine. Enjoy your casual gaming.

Paying 60€ for a game is stupid. Get real racing3 or asphalt9, its for free

Can't believe they charge for tracks, cars I can accept, but tracks? Plus initial purchase and monthly fee, too bad, this is a game I could get into but the value just isn't there.

I used to think the same way. But after you invest inn a fue month and cars and tracks u like. U will get why its that expensive.

Used to think the same, tried it, love it, it's worth it, but it's not for everyone

You get a supported simulation that doesn't die after the first 3 years of being released. That in it self is worth the monthly subscription. Basically you are supporting the community and keeping it alive. Nascar Racing 2003 Season is still one heck of a game but no one plays it now. That's the difference between a one time charge and a subscription based game.

Then there is also the updates. When Nascar changes something, iRacing changes also. Tell me another simulation that does that after the initial release without mods?

How much do people spend on crap like, netflix, sky, gym membership, tv licence etc just cancel all that and subscribe to iracing, it's way more fun...can't wait to get into the ovals and those pro-off trucks look like loads of fun

I think you all should buy me a subscription so i can be proven wrong.

The subscription isn't an issue. The subscription along with the fact that most cars and tracks are behind a seperate fee is.

It should either be subscription based, or puchase DLC cars/tracks. But not both.

But, you'll often find. That those updates require another payment.
For example, i used to race indy car series and the larger Nascar tracks. But, now my cars are all obsolete and can't be used in the official series. So, i'd have to buy those again.
Last time i logged on, the devs made a comment about actively looking for a new LMP2 car. Which is going to make the HPD obsolete. So, the cars you buy have a life expectancy added to them.

Iracing only really makes sense if it's the only thing you play.
I have a road A licence, and would love to take part in F1 races at silverstone and spa, without committing to a season in game. But, it's costs don't make that viable. I'd love to race Nascar at daytona and talledega. But again. cost prohibitive.
I've a proven history of racing safe, gained my licences. But it's people like me that the costs are putting off. Not just casuals that havn't tried it before. But former players that don't have quite as much time to give the game.

I used to think the same thing until i got out of Rookie classes. Im in the Road B and Oval A, and i have yet to see any racing game on the market offer the kind of good racing that i see in iRacing. I have PCARs, Asseto, rFactor2 and i have yet to get any ware close to how good the racing i get from iRacing and thats even going to League racing in those games.

get out of Rookie class as fast as you can and go from their.

Dont get me wrong, i love assetto. Its a fun game. But if you want to race, you need to find a like once in a week or two league for AC, or maybe do some SRS. But if you want the best racing simracing can offer, look no further.

Trust me, the service, it's statistics, the competition system and the high-level competition alone are worth the subscription. And as other said, it keeps out the casual crash boys that do not give a ♥♥♥♥ or even have fun ruining a race for anyone else.
