Anyone Into Sim Racing?
Hey guys/Gals,
I'm wondering if anyone is into Sim Racing/Racing Games? I have been playing iRacing.com a lot lately. I am hoping to start my virtual racing career in the next few weeks.
I welcome anyone to check out my Sim Racing News web site

I have been looking at iRacing ever since it came out. I love nascar and road racing and iRacing looks like they nailed it. Just one problem. Its expensive plus I dont have a wheel or a comp thats really up to spec..

I also play LFS, have never tried iRacing (/iRental)...the on going cost puts me off.
LFS can fix 2 of your problems, it is one cheap payment and you do not need a high spec computer (not that iRacing requires massive specs).
Click the link Fuel Crazy gave, the demo is free to download and you can play online...many demo users always online, no preset time for races,just join a host. You can play LFS using mouse/keyboard/joypad/wheel.

RE: Anyone Into Sim Racing?
I have the full version (S2), so I do not drive demo very often but when I do it is usually XFG/XRG...I am not a big fan of the FBM.
You can check my stats (as I did yours) at http://www.lfsworld.net/ click the "Online Racer Stats"...same name...Anthoop.
As you can see I am in the B2R team, so invariably I am on our servers...or Redline/R2R...I will look for your name next time I am on.

waiting for Shift 2. i know it's not a sim to the truest extent. i'm currently using a driving force gt.
i have gtr evolution and have touched LFS and iracing (cracked) briefly. i would like to get GT5, but the system is still way expensive for only a couple of games im interested in...like metal gear solid.

I use wheel, a G25 that broke 2 days ago [:@] ...hopefully it will live again. If not then the piggy bank will be raided for a Fanatec.

I also use a wheel.. but i have a el cheapo Microsoft Sidewinder. Works fine for me though, just not as nice and precise as the Logitech's and other big $$ ones.

Ive tried racing with the other cars and just couldnt get into em. I like racing the FBM, and trying to tune my own set instead of just downloading one like most do.

I use the wheel a fair amount so the investment balances out...well that is my excuse.

Anyone that is looking into Live For Speed can download all the World Record Setups from their web site.
Are there many users from here that play iRacing? I've been starting my racing career on there and its been very involving.

Edit- there are some sites where WR holders download their setups for others to use, such as- http://www.setupgrid.net/ ...and... http://setupfield.teaminferno.hu/ .
