I have more than 15 years experience with iracing. Technically it’s a very sophisticated and Professional Simulation and that is also the reason I stayed that Long with iracing and Had nearly every content in Road Racing. However what brought me to end that relationship was more and more capriciousness in their reporting and sanctioning System with Regard to malicious behaviour. Unfortunately They simply have Bad deciders. Especially in the last 3 years. In their Effort to ban crashers from the Network, which is basically fully understandable, they have developed judgement rules which are Not transparent and thus clear. Its Not the Fact that misjudgement can Happen. Its the consequences that they Connect with Those decisions, which also involve Account Suspension. The Real Bad thing about iracing is: if u want to quit iracing as i did, they dont refund the overpayment of your participation fee, which was quite substantial (approx. EUR 150,-) in my case arguing with their General terms and conditions. This is just theft in my Point of view and actually a shame for such Enterprise.

Frustrating. I only do AI racing as the online experience is a typical Internet s***show, but trying to keep up with the evolving platform is a nightmare. At the moment the UI hardly ever loads (it did a few days ago, but after the latest "fix" it doesn't anymore...), but what's worst is the fact that we're always swimming against the tide in terms of AI changes from one release to the next. Suddenly AI's pitstops are 13 seconds quicker than human players (!?), and suddenly they're also miles quicker. Because the AI is so inconsistent I've had to spend ages trying to hone the skill levels for each track individually, but suddenly the AI is running 1 second quicker than it was last week over a 19-second lap at Iowa! Trying to keep up with it is like swimming through dog poo...this is for a game that requires significant outlay as well.

iRacing delivers incredible driving realism but is undermined by a flawed penalty and lazy SR system. For GT3 enthusiasts, the climb to SR B feels unnecessarily punishing, often forcing players into defensive, non‑competitive strategies just to progress. How can they label Iracing as the most realistic racing sim, when they only punish for incidents. REAL motor sports punish the driver who's at fault. Until the system is reviewed, other alternatives offer a less stressful and more fun GT3 experience without having to waste precious time grinding SR. If iRacing revises its penalty mechanics, it could easily reclaim its place in my opinion as the premier sim racing platform and would warrant better review scores - but right now, due to the price to fun reward ratio, buyers should be aware of the limitations and frustrations before investing.

I raced over 600 races mad a mistake 3 times and got banned for 2 weeks. Yea i never botherd playing it again after that.
