I don't have a problem paying a monthly fee if this game is really as realistic as it claims to be. However, is this game online only? I play NR2003 a lot, but almost exclusively off line against the AI. That way I don't need to find other people who want to race in the mod/track that I want at the exact time I want, plus I can do championships. I also like staying up to date with real car sets...but I have seen no official car set screens for Iracing.

There is no AI, the racing you do will be against other humans, however you will be able to do it 24/7 and shouldn't have a problem finding someone to race. The only 'offline' type sessions you can do are Testing sessions, but you are required to login to the Web site first, so an internet connection is still required (but not used by the session).

Cheers,

Tim.

Tim, Any chance that it could be added in the future? Perhaps as added content just like cars and tracks? Would certainly be of great value to a large number of simracers who do not have the opportunity to join a league. Either way, looking forward to it VERY much! Thanks, Bill

Hi Bill,

The sim will be constantly evolving with new features being made available via download (that's what the monthly fee is for), I wouldn't count out anything as possible, but I do doubt that you'll see AI you can race against as it should be very easy to find humans.

If you've only ever raced offline then I think the sim is worth a shot for you, just wait until you hear what others are saying and make your decisions. Smile

I was affraid you would say that. But, you never know. Could be added at some point in the future.

Thanks for the quick reply.....

Bill
