Dale Jr talks about his simracing with iRacing.com (Extended)

[booters4343]

Dale Jr has a G25, Ive got a G27 sitting in front of me now! haha

[JaredProject]

thats a good idea, im taking the wheels off my computer chair!

[Chenstrapftw]

If iRacing puts in dirt cars (spirints, midgets, maybe rally :O ) i will buy this, even though i plan on gettin it anyways. :D

[CONFEDERATEMAN18]

@Chenstrapftw yeah dirt cars then legends then on up when u get it can u tell me how it goes

[nascarkidinny]

didnt iracing buy nr2003...i know iracing is way more realistic but why dont they have touring lower series in nr2003? that could be very useful to me for people who decided to invest in that because nothing better came out yet. like i said, its only a idea, but i wish they would just try it

[DraconianDebate]

how does Dale not have a simrig and a Fanatec wheel? Of all the people to sim on the cheap...

[jjfan4824]

I'm wanting to try out iRacing, but I am afraid that my computer will not be able to handle it, and I do not have a lot of money, so I can't afford to waste 15 or even 5 bucks. Not only that but I want to get a G27 before I even buy this, but my current steering wheel will work, but Force Feedback doesn't work.

[FormulaOneSpy]

Cool to see someone who earns millions in a year to use standard G25! Somehow I expected to see some ECCI wheel.

[TerrorRobin]

dale seems to be a great personality

[SuppaNova2012]

Im glad your showing me im right by not approving my comment and basicly hiding like i thought you would!

[iRacingTV]

@SuppaNova2012 Patience. :)

[SuppaNova2012]

ahh hes paid to say this i believe, i just dont believe the cars drive the way they do on here!

[iRacingTV]

@SuppaNova2012 Dale Earnhardt Jr is not paid a penny by iRacing.com, actually.

[SuppaNova2012]

@iRacingTV you sure, im sure i seen something on the forums has him saying that doesnt really back up what hes saying in this video, just descussing the issues that iracing has that should have been resolved over 2 years ago, just saying!

[SuppaNova2012]

@iRacingTV Come on approve my comment and tell me im wrong please please!

[Docjonel]

@SuppaNova2012 Jr's been a big online sim racing fan for a long time and was a fan of Papyrus' sims years ago. He's been very involved with iRacing and does this as a hobby, not as a paid pitchperson. He's actually online a fair amount with iRacing.

@SuppaNova2012

i tried the racing is ok but the pepole on their are such snobs

plus i want a disk

and even when you get your C Class Rating you still have to buy the cars

[truckbasher]

iracing is the best! i hope it never sells itself out and stays to its roots. stay affordable! and iracing will be around a long time

[SuppaNova2012]

iRacing blows, theres to may problems with it and to many idiots to have fun! you touch someone and you get a 4x or your suspension just breaks when you touch them!

[trueast1979]

Thumbs up if you think Dale Jr is stoned as hell in this video...looks ripped to me.

[nr2003kid]

ive been dying to try it... i just cant afford it

[iRacingTV]

@nr2003kid If you check google for promo codes you might be able to find something to help you out. There's also usually a promo up on the company home page. Not sure how much that helps you though.

[nr2003kid]

@iRacingTV oh...i didnt know that...Do you have to have a wheel? cus all i have is joystick...and i dont think my connection would be good enough

[iRacingTV]

@nr2003kid It would be best with a wheel, but a joystick is better than using a gamepad or something of that sort. You may want to eventually get a wheel so that you can have access to both pedals quicker (with a joystick you have to go all through the axis to get from gas to brake).

Anything except satelite broadband would work, 3G can be problematic. We have users using dial-up who do fine except in the races with large fields of cars.

[nr2003kid]

@iRacingTV well its not the type of internet (i have 56k) but i use wireless (i connect to a router not a modem)

[iRacingTV]

@nr2003kid We do have people on 56k, but I am not sure exactly how they're connected to their modem. If you want you could contact the support team to discuss?

[nr2003kid]

@iRacingTV The support team?

[iRacingTV]

@nr2003kid support AT iracing DOT com - replace at and dot with the correct symbols, youtube wont let me type it. :)

[nr2003kid]

is iracing made by papyrus? cus it looks just like nr2003

[iRacingTV]

@nr2003kid Essentially, yes. Papyrus closed. iRacing was then founded by Dave Kaemmer (who founded Papyrus). Most of the early iRacing staff were directly from Papyrus. iRacing bought the source code for N2003 from Sierra and started developing it. It probably looks familiar, but you'd see the differences if you try it.
