iRacing Website and Pics

Check out the iRacing (formerly First Racing) webiste with pics from the sim of the cars and tracks, and an announcement that they are sponsoring Todd Bodine's CTS at Daytona Friday...

The pics look good, but I think rFactor and GT Legends looks better....

looks very nice. not a lot of substance yet, but we'll see what they come up with. We know it will likely be a very viable sim racing option for sure, given their proven track record in this area.

except that I bet it will a BIG $$$$$$$ item only for the super-serious....I don't know that for a fact, but looking at the technology they're using, I can't see it being cheap....

I bet you're right Tim. They have their work cut out for them to match rFactor in my opinion, but this is certainly a good problem to have. I wander if they started over from the FIRST-Racing stuff (from scratch) or if they are still working on that whole matchmaking thing and stuff. They've invited me again a couple more times to beta that, and I have not gotten involved -- mainly because of time, but also because my job has a conflict of interest (software company).

I think I mentioned to you that the head of the team that Philip and I were on emailed me about rejoining, but that was many months ago...I'd be really curious to see what it's like, but the schedule they had was insane at the time.

Maybe it's time to give him a shout...hmmmmmm

Not sure if you guys noticed, but last night iRacing.Com was sponsoring Todd Bodine in the truck race, and they got some serious TV time as he was up front all night in the top 5 and almost won the race ..
