Everything that I've read seems to suggest that iRacing is not a "game", but as close to a true driving simulation experience that's been available to date. There's a lot of grousing about the subscription pricing - I guess only time will tell if it's here to stay etc... I have not run across one post in any of the iRacing forums, and I sifted through a lot of posts before I signed up, that hinted at any regrets after subscribing - most were of the "wow this is amazing" type. I'll report back when I'm up and running - just waiting for Windows XP to arrive so I can load it on my Mac w/Bootcamp. (Another issue for us Mac guys is that none of the most popular driving sim options are Mac compatible).
