iRacing.com Wrote:Great news! As of June 25th, the invitation process has begun. We are sending out several thousand invitations to join the service in the first of multiple waves that will be distributed between now and the end of the summer. Included in this first wave are the nominees that you beta testers passed on to us, as well as some of the individuals who previously registered on the iRacing.com public Web site. Subsequent waves of invitations will include iRacing corporate partners and additional registrants from the iRacing public site.

Over the next week or so, we expect to add thousands of new members. That means that our scheduled races will be more fully populated. The iRacing service will work as it was designed to, competition will be more interesting and the social aspects of our still-young community will become more evident. These changes are only a hint of what's to come, but they represent another important step forward.

Development continues, and we expect to have our doors wide open by the end of the summer. But if you know of anyone who wants to join before then (and wasn't already included in your list of nominees), please have them go to our public site (www.iracing.com) and register for updates.

As charter members of the iRacing community, you've had a chance to experience the sim and the service before anyone else. We hope that the rewards of participating in this pioneering endeavor have outweighed any inconveniences associated with our early development and growth, and we thank you once again for your patience and support.
