So, is a new build coming out after this season? I heard they're actually making a realistic tire model for once, which is a good sign.

I renewed about 20 minutes before this promotion was posted.

There is a new build after every season. We just never know whats 100% going to be in it until the notes get released.

Just had the race of my life. Started 12th, worked my way up, made a last lap pass for the win.

Had my first run in last night.

Guy dive bombed T1 on lap two at Iowa to make it three wide, he slid up and pushed me in the fence, bent my steering. Then he spun off of two (same corner) and took out half the feild. With bent steering I tracked the leader down and took the lead back. Few laps later while trying to lap the same moron he comes down off the wall and wrecks us both.

After that he came out the pits behind me on fresher tires and passed me, I hooked him out of 4 and turned him straight in the fence ending his day. Was the wrong thing to do but it just frustrated me to no end.

He then protested me, since I have zero incidents in all my other races nothing will be done this time. I won't retailiate ever again - not because of protests, it's just not worth driving like that.

Ran another race after that and led every lap.

I'd have done the same. It takes a lot for me to get to the point where I'd retaliate, but some guys need to be taught a lesson and the only thing they understand is your bumper.

[Phathead]

Don't worry, the protesting system has the teeth of an 94 year old man in a nursing home

[Mike Henry Jr]

Yeah Nim was pretty cool about it, though I was in violation I think he understood the entire situation as a whole.

Nim's a tool.

Just wait lol

[Mike Henry Jr]

I've heard stories, was hoping I wouldn't see that side of him this time around.

[STEVE]

If you bump somebody in the corner to retaliate, it will always be labeled a racing incident and nothing will happen.

[Mike Henry Jr]

Good to know. I'm going to Steven Wallace anyone that screws my day up now.

Thinking about getting iRacing but don't know if I can commit to joining a league or regular racing....is it worth getting, can you just randomly race?

Pretty much. There are races every :15, and usually every hour or two per series.

Also, anyone can create or join a hosted (unofficial) race at any time.

[cjt3viper]

There's always at least one race available whether it's official or a hosted race. Failing that there are always a few populated practice sessions. The only time I've had trouble finding anything decent is if I jump on early in the morning.

Early in the morning is the best time to race, sadly.

Indeed. All the morning races I've run have been great. Usually if you run one of the more popular series' there'll be some racing.

There are some nice, clean folks on in the morning. Now I just made the mistake of racing on the weekend and it was hell. Full of egotistical ClassA or pro drivers that think everyone should move over for them because they're superior.

...or they just give you a hard time for the hell of it.

Craftsman tools come included with earning a black stripe. There are maybe 4 or 5 pros i've raced against that aren't complete douches
