+1 Dustin McGrew’s post.
Racing against competitors from all over the world with similar driving skills, at tracks all over the country (soon to be tracks from all over the world) Without a doubt the best racing simulation ever. Great fun!
A good internet connection and a PC with fairly stout graphics capability are highly recommended.

I would like to say that I joined Iracing about a year ago and for myself, this IS the best simulation of racing I have been a part of in a 6 years of sim racing. Laser scanned cars and tracks, competition and racing REAL racers like Dale Earnhardt Jr. is great. You can even see every race Dale Jr has ever raced and when he raced it.
What really makes me continue my journey with Iracing is the constant improvement and that they actually care and listen to their customers. This is already the best sim to date, but it will remain that way by bringing out new cars and tracks plus always improving the service in any positive way that is possible. Anyone looking for a true sim racing experience, its just a no brainer to give Iracing a shot. You will not be disappointed.

Perhaps the closest any normal ‘joe’ can get to driving a real race car. If you like simulators and driving games, for less than 20 bucks a month, this is a no brainer. There is nothing else like it in the world.

iRacing is by far the best and most accurate racing simulation I have ever tried. The best part has to be the laser scanned tracks. The tracks are accurate to within 1mm of the real world track. Every bump, dip, crack, building, wall, etc is modeled. Bumpy tracks like Daytona and Atlanta are extremely fun to race on. The track and car feels very alive compared to past racing sims.
The other thing that is so much better than other sims is the organized competition within iRacing. There are many series to choose from. There is an iRating which determines your skill level and a Safety Rating which determines how safe you are on the track. These 2 things have to be one of the most important features of iRacing. Races are split into groups depending on your iRating. This way you are always grouped with people of a similar skill level. The Safety Rating also helps to make people drive within their limits and not cause an abundance of crashes. Both the iRating and Safety Rating work very well.
There are also a ton of stats available through iRacing which can be filtered and sorted for race results, series standings, qualifying results, driver ratings, time trials, etc.
The updating process through iRacing is also the most painless I’ve ever seen in a racing sim. If updates are available the website will notify you and you are taken to a page that lists all the available updates. Select the updates you want to install, click OK, bang–updated. Its that simple. Updates come very often too.. its not like other sims where the developers release a patch or two and their done. iRacing is constantly releasing updates to their simulation software and adding new web enhancements every few weeks.
I would have gave iRacing 5 stars but there are a few things that I think still need improved upon. I will list them in the cons below.
Pros:
- Extremely accurate cars and tracks
- Engine sounds are very good
- Every race counts toward series championship standings
- Graphics are very detailed, car and track textures are absolutely stunning
- Love all of the stats available
- Safety Rating and iRating are one of the best additions to a modern racing sim to date
Cons:
- Race lengths in higher level series are a little too long. Some races can last almost 90 minutes.
- Limited scheduling for upper level series. This may go away in the future as more and more people move up.
- Body damage modeling is not very accurate at all. The body crumples up much too easy, like tin foil. No aero-effects on body damage right now either.
