pro series only means they are the best at exploit racing not best at
racing because to be fast means bizarre unrealistic setups. when they
race real life this was reflected in depressive result


Like they were ever trying to pretend this meant they could be F1 Champs
were they? Sim racing is a sport unto itself bozo!

Pretty funny when the wanker thinks everyone else is the wanker!

Please tell me what series you race in so I can tune in to watch! I
race RL amatuer (Porsche Club and NASA) and I wouldn't look down my
nose at ANY form of professional car racing.

Doesn't sound the most exciting race car for sure, although you have
sold the Jetta powerplant 70bhp short - it is 170bhp ~140mph

The racing though is as real as any other form of motor racing:

I'm no fan of this practice but "iPonzi" is simply an incorrect analogy
anyway.

Whatever anyone thinks, there is a post by a person (fellow Aussie in
fact) being recently auto billed for 12 months sitting on the iRacing forums
since Sept 29 culminating in the following today from Tim -

"Right now we send emails to people who have auto renew enabled 2 weeks
before their payment is due. We also email those who disabled auto renew to
ask them to renew manually. Lastly, we also email those who did not renew to
ask them back. Just recently got the capability to do this, but everyone
should be aware now if they're not blocking our domains emails."

In any case, some seemed to like things as it was -

"Note to self...select 'autobill' and tell the wife...ooops...sorry about
that...hehehe."



In a month there will be private servers - how will they bash iRacing
then?

Has iRacing always sent out these auto-renewal email notices? If so, then
why the complaints, the "iracing ripoff" thread here, the jack b thread
above, and now some Aussie guy?

Then again, why have auto-renewal at all, especially for the yearly
subscriptions? The players that like the game are going to renew anyway,
and it's only going to create complaints from the players that didn't
want to auto-renew.

No, this is no doubt a reaction to recent complaints. A refund was asked
for but so far it looks like that wont happen.
