Thinking of joining but I am doubtful I will be able to keep up with upload speed requirements.
Guys at work are serious (online) racers and are raving about it. Looks a bit pricey if you want lots of tracks.

I didn't know this existed until now.
Now I may have to give it a go, especially since they are releasing a spa track.

spa is due to be released tomorrow. I may have to get myself a wheel and give this a go in the new year. It really looks great.

So I checked out the site teh same night, signed up as they had a deal 3 months for the price of 1. you start off with about 6 cars and 8 tracks and you are off and running. I started out with the xbox controller and man did that suck but because of the gameplay, graphics, and realism I decided to buy a wheel. I picked up the Logitech GT on sale at bestbuy for $130 and its a whole new game.
Every hour there were races you could join as a rookie that you would run practice, then qualify and then race. As you race you go up in class and its more realistic (ie: if you wreck you are out of the race unlike rookies who can get towed and endure a 1.5min penalty.
Of course the cars they provide won't satisfy most nor will the tracks and at $12 per car and $15 per track it can get pricey but if you just pick a class (I bought a nascar) a stick with it as its a steep learning curve you can keep the costs down while not losing any enjoyment. Like with every game you will find the idiots whos goal is to cause havoc and just crash people but that all goes away as you move up in class as they will be removed and banned from races.
Overall an awesome racing experience that i would reccommend!
