Has iRacing always sent out these auto-renewal email notices?
No, this is no doubt a reaction to recent complaints.

Looking at that thread and doing a web search, it seems that a few states
(USA) require (consumer law) these notices. Then again, being a consumer
law, there's seldom any fine or other risk, since minor infractions tend
to get ignored, other than the person usually may a refund, if that person
lives in one of those few locations that even have such a law.

Then again, maybe it was due to the thread here and the Jack B thread,
and the negative publicity.

Regardless of the reason, they're sending out notices now, so problem
solved for any future auto-renewals. Would be nice if that guy got
a refund though.

I agree. It's no more a sport than chess is.

In North America there are so many leagues available at all different
times league schedules are not restrictive. That may apply to Australia
but not North America.

My view presently is that the new iteration

"Iteration"? My god, how I hate that word. It ranks right up there
with "resonate" as two of the most overly-used words in the English
language.

Anyhow, I tried iRacing, using that 3-month dealie, and played ONCE.
The game is so restrictive. If I'm paying for something I want to be
able to create my own league and run what I want to run.

Alan

I believe that's about 5 weeks away i.e. the next *iteration* of
iRacing with leagues

Personally, after being on iRacing for a few months I wouldn't give
you 2 cents for leagues anymore - I race when I please - when it suits
me down to the ground - not according to a restrictive league schedule.

lol, i was joking, but really if he plays it that much and the reality
that it drives no where near accurately must mentally affect something
i guess needs a better sim or quit that one
