Well i hope when you do come over, we can race sometime. Good luck on your quest to get out of rookies  

Yesterday I sent my copy of FM5 back to Amazon and purchased the logitech wheel rig for PC. I am finalizing a few last things in my PC build and should be online with iRacing in January sometime. Really looking forward to the new platform, venues and challenege

Same here mate se you in rockie!

Just wanted to say iRacing is awsome! even in rookie series racing also i have to say that the logitec G27 wheel is very good! Everything feels so much more realistic then forza and microsoft wheel Thank you Oscar for showing me everything and helping me around the track

I guess you are lucky you are running up front in the races (or in higher split race). There are some people who can say in rookie for ages because they get taken out by people who don't know how to race. Hope everything goes well for you in the future and good luck

It's looking like I may be making the switch to iRacing in the coming months as well!

Haven't planned it out too much at this point yet

Well hopefully they don't bring out anything stupid like they did with the Auto-DQ in the next build in a couple of weeks. There's is big debate about mandatory qualifying and i hope they don't do that. Anyway good luck when you do join. Don`t worry about a career yet, do really don't need to worry until you get out of rookies

  Posimosh was asking for you on one of the team recruitment threads. I have feeling you'll LOVE it on here. It's much more realistic with everything so far as physics, circuits and the entire atmosphere of strategy, obeying track rules and such.

^To be honest Jay I would think of qualifying as a mandatory as a good thing. It stops the guys who have done half a practice lap joining and wrecking the whole field. I'm with you on the Auto-DQ thing though, they should vary it in race lengths. 17 incidents is quite small for a 60 minute race in Grand-Am

On another note, I just saw this and I'm still laughing

But sometimes i forget to qualifiy or just don`t have time or i don`t expect to get into a race.

I suppose you're right. There's good and bad parts of the idea. I don't think they'll change it in Season 1 so I'd say there's nothing to worry about   

Iracing barely respons to the feature suggestions anyway

Posimosh is on iRacing?

Yeah he is, I didn't know who he was but I looked at his profile and it was him. Also there's about 6 or 7 CQR guys on iRacing however they compete in the Leagues part of it.

Haha that vidd was awsome Oscar!

What do you mean the leagues part of it?

Thanks to Robbie @ RLJ Custom Graphics once again for his fantastic work on the Mazda MX-5 Cup.   

Congrats to Henrik on getting his D License in only 12 races! Also I'd like to give a warm welcome to new member "LMR Alfaro".   He'll be racing with us next season in the FW31 LMR car with Uros and I and we're happy to have him on!

Also nice job on the nearly 1900 irating in that 12 races. Hopefully that is a good sign for your future races. Keep it up Henrik

Bloody hell. I was racing at Daytona in the C Fixed Trucks and I get completely pit-maneuvered by some a** running 2nd.  

Update: Once again, I'm racing high in the pack and another a**hole without a single notion of race-craft pits the leading car and then a HUGE pile-up ensues     

Thank you Oscar and Jay!  (havent seen it till now :/)  Lets hope i can continue this way :)had some problem att some races in the end but otherwice it has ran smothly. And thanks for the paintjob! Looks brilliant

Im with ya there Oscar, 2 from 3 races in the trucks turned around on the back straight (one of them i was leading a one lap dash). Im going to start running the opens now that i have had some practice at the trucks

Sent you a friend request mate. You can email support and they can change your name to something with a initial in the middle. e.g. Instead of being Michael Morrow5 you could be Michael Z. Morrow.

YET ANOTHER UPDATE: That is it! I am DONE with plate racing on here. Last lap I'm running 5th and this guy just turns down on the guy running 3rd and the sh*tstorm begins. Unless my iRating is in the 2200's and that put's me in the top split I am freaking finished with the Truck. The B Car looks good but NEVER again will I race that car with those excuse's for drivers.

Like i said, you could try running the open series
