Works perfect with my Driving Force Pro. The racing is great, even the oval tracks are fun. You'll spend a while in a spec Miata or a 5:8's 34 Ford (if you like oval racing/crashing a lot).

Gran Turismo has it beat for variety but the physics are TIGHT and the opponents are skilled.

I highly doubt my computer can handle a racing game!

Hmm I was interested in this a while ago, I'll give it a try!

Adam what are your computer specs? iRacing isn't THAT demanding for good physics...it is graphics that are demanding

Definitely good. A bit expensive but the cost seems to keep most the dickbags out.

Get the Logitech Wingman software off of Logitech's drivers page to get your wheel to work on the PC with 900 degrees and all that.

i dont have a wheel, so im going to pass on this and stick with GT5 for now

Hooray! I'm competing in a multiclass road racing series where both Solstice coupes and Spec Racer Fords run the tracks. I'm second in race points and first in time trial points in Division 4 (of 10) at the end of the first week. We ran Okayama's "Piper" configuration, now we're switching over to the Jefferson reverse course at Summit Point.

This is a great substitute until I can get a real income going and get back onto real race tracks. I think I'm going to give up on production cars and try my hand at kart racing.

I really want to watch pro kart stuff. Or maybe just drive one lol!

did you get the dual screens hooked up?

Subject: Re: Great racing simulator: iracing Tue May 10, 2011 8:57 pm

Turned out to be the wrong cable for the monitor. Luckily I can see the right front corner of the Solstice!

My specs:
A 2.20GHz AMD Athlon II P340 and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics offer the AMD VISION

3GB of DDR3 memory lets you multitask easily

1 GB of RAM

It's just a basic HP G62 Laptop.. do you think this will be enough to run this game?

Subject: Re: Great racing simulator: iracing Mon May 30, 2011 12:11 pm

Only if it has a decent graphics processor.

Subject: Re: Great racing simulator: iracing Mon May 30, 2011 5:39 pm

What is that, and how do I know if mine is good? lol, I'm a total newb when it comes to this stuff.

Subject: Re: Great racing simulator: iracing Mon May 30, 2011 8:04 pm

Right click My Computer -> Select "Properties"
select the "Hardware" tab
select "Device Manager"
Search the list for "display adapters" and click the "+" to expand and tell me what it lists.

AMD M880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250

Subject: Re: Great racing simulator: iracing Mon May 30, 2011 8:36 pm

I just researched it, and it said it is crap for gaming lol. I read that it should be upgraded to a Radeon 5650.

I also found out that the video card in my laptop is not replaceable..

Subject: Re: Great racing simulator: iracing Mon May 30, 2011 8:39 pm

If you did that you'd probably be able to run iRacing at low settings.

If you want we can use my account to test it, but with that card you have it's not going to be very good.

Ah, maybe I'll wait until I have the funds to upgrade to a decent setup.

The announcers of the Grand Am Rolex race mentioned iracing today!

Subject: Re: Great racing simulator: iracing Mon May 30, 2011 9:32 pm

Yeah, iRacing has a Grand Am Rolex series.

Subject: Re: Great racing simulator: iracing Tue May 31, 2011 11:27 pm

for windows 7 its easier, right click Comp, then Properties, then look at the rating, its glowing blue

Subject: Re: Great racing simulator: iracing Mon Aug 01, 2011 11:19 pm

So I ended up getting Live for Speed, it's cheaper and works perfectly with my computer. It makes GT4 seem like an arcade game!

LFS is the fucking sickness. No better way to learn to drive
