Want to test new content?

[STEVE]

Looks like this Saturday (6/23) you'll be able to help with some testing on iRacing. You'll be able to try out content you don't have, it seems, too.

June 19,2012 - Help Us Test, Please

We have scheduled a QA test for this Saturday 6/23 and we need your help!

We are testing a new environment at http://staging.iracing.com and the way to help is to login to the alternate site and use iRacing exactly as you normally would. We'll have some sessions up, with the main event at 20:00 GMT featuring the Lotus 79 at Twin Ring Motegi but you can race any of the content we will have available including Kentucky, Oulton Park, Twin Ring, the Silver Crown, Sprint Car, Ford GT, Lotus 79 and the '09 Class B Impala.

The alternate environment will be available for testing begining at 14:00 GMT on 6.23.12 through 14:00 GMT on 6.24.12.

The best part is when you log in (using your normal user id and password) you will find $200 iRacing credits in your account. You'll need to 'purchase' any content you wish to use (using the credits). You can also use the credits for hosted session if you like. Keep in mind that anything you do on the alternate site - race, make purchases, etc, won't carry over to the regular member site (this means that unused credits won't carry over to members either).

As a way to thank you for helping with the test we will be awarding the prestigious and not often available iTested award to anyone who joins the main event on http://staging.iracing.com.

Remember, all you need to do is use the site like you normally use the member site.

Don't worry, the regular member site will be up and running with all of the regularly scheduled sessions - this test will be running concurrently.

Important Stuff: Alternate URL - http://staging.iracing.com
Username and password - same as your regular members account
Time of test event - 14:00 GMT 6.23.12 - 14:00 GMT 6.24.12
Time of Main Event - 20:00 GMT
Your browser might complain about the sites certificate. As this is a test with no credit card information, you may ignore the warning.

*Members who createdtheir accounts after 6.13.12 are not eligble to participate in this test.

PS- The sporting code still applies and will be enforced.

It's only letting me get the required stuff. When I click "cars" and "tracks", all I get are the things I downloaded.
Anybody else just get kicked out?

[Mike Henry Jr]

Yeah from the staging.iracing it says my account is suspended... I just had to log in to the actual site to see if I'm able to race. All is good it seems?

[Kahne4RedBull]

All the accounts will probably be unsuspended on saturday I'm guessing lol

[cjt3viper]

Same here . I signed up for the credits, I'm sure they will do it again.

[Trackmaster25]

Same here . I signed up for the credits, I'm sure they will do it again.

I hope you know you don't actually get the credits.

[WWEFan14]

It's back up, but it won't let me buy anything.

[Kahne4RedBull]

Works for me, I bought everything available and man is it fun to drift those Silver Crown cars around Kentucky. You fly around there 180mph!
