is it free for existing old customers or just new ones?

It's only for new customers, for existing customers the best deal is to wait until they do 50% off for renewals, usually during black friday sales in November. Also keep an eye out for when they have discounts on iRacing credits. Between those two things and other credits I had, I only paid about $90 for a two year subscription plus I get another $10 of that back through anniversary bonuses.

Before discounts and everything, $12 for 1 month subscription, $30 for 3 months subscription, $99 for 12 months subscription, and $179 for 24 months subscriptions. The subscription includes base content which is 7 cars and 10 tracks, then for each new car it's $12, for each new road course it's $15, and for each new oval track it's $12. Content purchases are a one off fee, if your subscription lapses everything you bought will still be available if you re-subscribe. Buying three pieces of content at a time yields 10% discount, buying six pieces of content at a time yields 20% discount. If you buy all oval content you get 25% discount, if you buy all road content you get 25% discount, and if you buy all content you get 30% discount. Every so often they also have deals where you can buy $100 worth of iRacing credits for $75, or $25 for $20, and also the black friday deal I mentioned where 12 or 24 month renewals are 50% off. You can also earn up to $40 per year in participation credits, and every 12 months from your subscription starting date you get $5 credits as an anniversary gift. If you play your cards right you can pay as little as $5 per year for iRacing, however most people are unaware of this.

Wow. It sure costs a lot of money. But it makes sense because its official. But yet you have an official game like F1 2012 with all the drivers and tracks and all you have to do is pay $50 and you get unlimited use compared to $149 for 2 years on iRacing.

There is WAY more involved with what iRacing do compared to F1 2012. Licensing is only half the story. It does seem very expensive and if you consider it only as a game it is, but if you weigh up everything you can see that they aren't just trying to rip people off, in fact one of the staff members said a while ago that they only break even. Everything they earn gets put back into the sim.

Well, with a lot of racing series in the game, it looks quite nice. Unlike F1 2012, iRacing is only Multiplayer right?

Iceman you need Internet to launch it, you can do solo testing sessions but all of the racing is online

Until the end of July I think, useful for existing accounts.

Okay, my renew is in August, but is early renew possible with a code? I would like to have your code Nathan.
Title: Re: iRacing for free
Post by: Nathan Dunnett on June 25, 2013, 05:14:04 PM
Yep the renewal adds on to your current subscription, so if you were to renew now it would extend it to next August.

I got me iRacing yesterday and started doing some testing, and I must say that the heavy oversteer in the rookie cars sure takes some getting used to :P

Got the 3 mouth package (50% off :D) and is hoping to have a new simulator to go to other then all the other crappy ones I play.

i know i racing is a very good simulator the best one for someone but honestly the price is really too expensive 7 cars 10 tracks 12$ for a new car and 179 for 2 years Oo.
NO WAY!
