By: Lt. Jamergaman Date: February 20, 2012, 7:36 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
[font=impact]What's iRacing?[/font]
iRacing is the ultimate place to go racing online. From NASCAR,
to IndyCar, to sports cars and Grand Prix racing, iRacing has it
all. All you need is a PC, a gaming wheel or game pad and an
Internet connection. iRacing organizes all of the racing for
you, or you can choose to host your own race. Either way the
competition is as real as it gets – you’ll be racing against
motorsports fans who share your passion for racing.
iRacing is a thrilling on-line experience that offers:
[list]
[li]The best on-line racing simulation and service in the world
with brilliant features and functionality
[/li][li]Head-to-head competition - racing against real people
[list][li]Constant free automatic updates and improvements to
the service
[/li][li]Officially licensed cars that are engineered from the
ground up in cooperation with real world race teams and using
real-world physics
[list][li]Officially-licensed, exact replicas of the world’s
greatest race tracks
[/li][li]Officially-sanctioned racing organized by iRacing
including the iRacing Pro Series (Road & Oval) and World Cup of
iRacing
[list][li]An online community of racing enthusiasts over 30,000
strong
[/li][li]
Ability to host your own private sessions or create your own
private racing leagues[/li][/list]
[/li]
[/list]
[font=impact]COMPLETE ONLINE[/font]
iRacing’s online competition is fun, challenging and rewarding.
Racing against real people (everyday race fans through
professionals like Dale Earnhardt, Jr.) will really get the
adrenalin going. iRacing’s race licenses and safety rating
system work to place drivers of similar skill in races together,
keeping the competition tight.
Race, practice or qualify in a wide variety of cars and tracks
at any time with members in official series or private-hosted
races.
Complete race data , statistics and tracking of season
championships available through easy-to-use member Web site.
Four 12-week seasons every year plus special events like the
virtual Indy 500. Individual, club and regional champions are
crowned seasonally.
[font=impact]ONLINE RACING DESCRIPTION[/font]
An iRacing.com membership provides entry into the newest form of
competitive motorsport: internet racing. Internet racing is a
fun, easy, and cost-effective way for race fans, sim racers and
gamers alike to enjoy the thrill of the racetrack from the
comfort of their home.
With professionally-sanctioned series running all the time, and
four competition seasons each year, we’re always on track. We
typically will have over 14 different racing series running each
week. You’ll experience the challenge of global motorsport
whenever you choose, and because iRacing.com automatically
groups racers of similar skill levels together, everyone has a
chance to compete. For those who compete in the physical world,
it’s also a valuable opportunity to hone your racecraft in
side-by-side racing, gaining experience that would otherwise
require years and a financial commitment that for most is simply
out of reach.
Although official races and competition are the foundation of
iRacing, those looking for other racing experiences have many
other options available. These include open-practice sessions
were you can simply get on track with other members 24/7,
official time-trial series running the same schedule as the
official racing series (over 14 different time-trial series run
each week) and qualifying sessions that run the same schedule as
the official racing series. Additionally, we have hosted private
racing available in which any member can host and start their
own race 24/7 and invite anybody they want to join. Finally, we
offer special events including a virtual Indy 500 running next
May which will be open for all members to participate.
[font=impact]Driving & Testing[/font]
There’s more to iRacing.com than racing. The tracks and cars are
at the beck and call of iRacers 24/7/365. That means you can
drive any time, day or night, for as long as you like. No
limits. Nada. Zero.
How you use that time is up to you. Practice your lines through
the most demanding corners in the world. Work on your braking
points, your downshifting technique. Camber, caster, toe-in,
spring perch, damper rebound, tire pressures . . .experiment
with an endless range of adjustments available on the race cars
to find what best suits your driving style and experience level.
Fine-tune the chassis for qualifying and race conditions. Learn
to cope with an oversteering- and an understeering-car. Better
yet, learn how to dial-out oversteer and understeer so you don’t
have to cope with them. All for a fraction of what it would cost
on the race track.
[font=impact]LEAGUE RACING ON IRACING.COM[/font]
HTML http://www.iracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Landing_Leagues.jpg
In addition to the fully sanctioned racing that is offered on
iRacing.com, you can also join or start your own league. What’s
a league? Simple, it is a series that is run by a member, not by
iRacing. Here is what makes it different:
[list]
[li]Race against who you want – password protected sessions
allow you to control who can access your race
[/li][li]Race when you want – tracks are open 24/7 and you set
the schedule
[list][li]Race where you want – choose any car and track
combination you like
[/li][li]Score your way – you create the scoring system for your
league[/li]
[/list]
Interested in league racing? All you need to do is become a
member. Many leagues are open to all members and others are
private. We even have a dedicated forum for league racing where
you can find a league to join. Don’t see one that suits your
interests, start your own!

[font=impact]ONLINE RACING COMMUNITY[/font]
iRacing’s member-based community is a great place to interact
with fellow motorsport enthusiasts. From forums to chat rooms,
in-sim voice chat to geographically-based clubs, iRacing
welcomes members from all around the world and encourages
members to get to know each other. iRacers often share racing
tips, car setups or whatever is on their mind.
iRacing’s Member community features:

[font=impact]Pro Series & World Championships[/font]
HTML http://www.iracing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/iracing_nascar_pro_world_championship.jpg
At the top of the iRacing competition ladder is the NASCAR
iRacing World Championship for oval racers and iRacing World
Championship – Road Racing for road racers. The winners of
these two series are, by definition, the best on-line racers in
the world for that year! Both the road and oval series feature
only the best 50 drivers in the world. To be one of the top 50
racers in the world and eligible for this elite series, one must
compete in our qualifying series – the iRacing Pro Series.
[font=impact]World Cup of iRacing[/font]
The World Cup of iRacing is a year-long global competition among
various geographical clubs around the world. The World Cup was
created to provide every iRacing member the opportunity to
compete for a world championship, regardless of skill level or
experience. There are 35 different clubs competing for the 2010
season title. This competition makes it possible for a group of
committed club members to win a global title by working
together. The entire winning club shares in the World Cup of
iRacing prizes and bragging rights. The format of the World Cup
is similar to that of other sports — season champions are
eligible to compete in a divisional playoff round to crown
division champions, who then compete in a one-day final to crown
the World Cup of iRacing champion! The World Cup of iRacing
champion for 2009 was club DE-AT-CH (Germany, Austria,
Switzerland).

[font=impact]WHO'S BEHIND IRACING?[/font]
iRacing.com was founded in September of 2004 by Dave Kaemmer and
John Henry. Kaemmer was co-founder of Papyrus Design Group,
developers of award-winning racing simulations including NASCAR
Racing: 2003 Season and Grand Prix Legends. An active racer in
the real world, Dave won 19 races in the Skip Barber Racing
Championship and held the series lap record at Lime Rock Park.
Henry is principal owner of the Boston Red Sox and Fenway Sports
Group – the co-owner of a leading NASCAR team, Roush Fenway
Racing – as well as an avid simracer.
The iRacing team combines more than 100 years of real-world
racing experience with more than 50 years of successful racing
simulation development.
The company has developed numerous corporate relationships in
the motorsport industry, including agreements to develop models
of tracks with International Speedway Corporation, Speedway
Motorsports, Inc. and Panoz Motor Sports Group; vehicles with
GM, Ford, Volkswagen, Riley Technologies, Radical Sportscars and
U.S. Legends Cars International. iRacing is the official
simulation partner of the Sports Car Club of America, Volkswagen
Jetta TDI Cup, Star Mazda Championship, Skip Barber Racing

In April, 2009 iRacing and NASCAR announced a partnership to
develop NASCAR-sanctioned online racing series. A similar
program with the Indy Racing League, Indianapolis Motor Speedway
and Dallara Automobili was announced in August, 2009.
[font=impact]A Passion for Racing in The Real & Virtual
Worlds[/font]
The iRacing logo is a fixture at race tracks around the world.
From the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series and
Australian V8 Supercar Series to short tracks and autocrosses,
SCCA Pro and Club races — wherever there’s racing you’ll find

well as award-winning motorsport writers.
At iRacing.com, not only are our offices and cubicles adorned

wheel mounted to the desk. We are also passionate sim racers.
iRacing is the combination of our passion, real-world racing
experience, and sim racing/game development background.
Here is a chronology of titles from our internal team and the
“godfather” of sim racing our CEO Dave Kaemmer:

I'm getting my old computer fixed up to play this so if anyone
wants to join me on iRacing when my old computer gets all done,
please PM me.
If I am not on iRacing for a while, it means I ran out of cash
to pay the monthly membership... :P
