Can Dale Jr. win in computer racing?

His stats show he wins about half his races in the pro sprint cup series. There are some others that run it too.

Well after a summer of iracing I dont think I can go back to racing gt5 or any console racing games again. The racing is great, the community is top notch and very helpful in setting your cars up properly. There is such a fine line between a good car and one that is fast and chews up tires. Ill probably hop on gt5 from time to time but cant see myself doing to much. If anyone has a pc to run it I strongly suggest you give the three month trial a go. You wont regret it.

Once I have more time, I plan to get a subscription just because they have the three tracks that are closest to me.  VIR, Summit Point, & NJ Motorsports Park.  They just need to get a BMW in there and I'm bought.  Though, I only plan to use it for practicing laps, don't know if I want to get into the online racing.  Sucks that I can't just get the software without paying for the online services.

One of our friends that we rarely see anymore is now hooked on iRacing.  Spec has been doing it for a couple months and he's hooked.  If I remember ride, he said GT5 felt 'arcadey' after playing them both back to back.  Biggest thing he misses is the camaraderie he had with this game.

Don't forget, next week we'll be able to see him, Gar, Z06fun and El_Zissou on the GT Academy thing.

And IRacing has Spa.  That's almost enough reason to get it right there.  I was quite disappointed that GT5 didn't have Spa.

The game is expensive. Its about 100 a year if you buy the year up front and 14.95 for extra tracks and 11.95 per car. Well worth it in my opinion. I have wasted a lot of money in the past buying games like nascar the game(worst game I have ever played) f1 and so on. At 60 bucks a ps3 pr 360 title it is well worth it to have a solid game that is always a work in progress with new content always in the pipeline

iRacing. Yes. I love it. The biggest thing that stands out to me with iRacing is no cheese-ball draft. You can race MX-5's with a .60 gap for laps on end and not have a guarantee that the guy behind you will fly by on the next straight. You earn the pass.

I tried like hell not to spend to much, but a month and a half in I now own Road Atlanta, Sebring, Spa, and some neat cars.

PS: Gar joined up last night too. It was fun cutting up Lime Rock with him. If you have a pc it's worth a 3 month trial. Just give it a chance, it's very different to GT5 and can get frustrating if you don't give it time.

I couldnt agree more. I am a class b license with oval but still a D on road. I plan on getting that up so I can race those C6r's. Have you seen the F1 iracing championship series? Those guys are absolutely amazing

Lonestar, what is your real name? I'll look you up on iRacing. I've been focusing a lot on the Mustang series, if you like great sounding semi-fast cars with plastic tires, then you should give it a try.

I'm John Wilding, look me up and shoot me a pm.

Cheers!

PS: Anyone still curious and thinking of joining?
