The iRacing site just went down for the conversion. Right in the middle of
a message I was writing LOL

Catch you all on the flip side!

When is iRacing going to be open to the public? - Not that I'm desperate or
anything....

RobP

It's in controlled roll-out now. If you want to be part of that, you need
to decide RIGHT AWAY. Today is the deadline.

We may still be able to get you in.

As to full public release, that has not been discussed yet that I've heard.

Why would you buy a sub now when the game/sim hasn't even gone public yet?

The SIM is in limited public release. It is out of Beta.

But the official party line is "It's not finished yet. It never will be.
We will constantly improve it and add things over time." They have
repeatedly said that if you don't like what is currently being offered
to come back in a few months, a year, ... So the difference between
Beta and current public release is that one you have to pay to use. ;-)

So yeah, I'm curious as to what changed his mind so drastically to opt
for a 6 month sub (especially when 1 and 3 month subs are available for
just a few $/month less) as I'm currently trying to decide the same thing.

Ok, thanks for the insight. The skippys by themselves are great but
unfortunately my few online races with them didn't give me a warm fuzzy
feeling towards the other drivers or the system. I was thinking of
waiting a few months to allow the new crop of drivers to move up to the
skippys (assuming they don't all bolt after trying the milk truck ;-) )
that would hopefully mean bigger and better fields, and the ability to
race more often. Let us know how you get on with it... it's nice to
know someone is in there that's not afraid to give an objective opinion.
Cheers.

Just read it doesn't even have pit stops so it is very beta IMO.
