iRacing.com Enters Beta Test Phase: Web-based Racing Simulation Service Expected to Launch in June<!--sizec--><!--/sizec-->
BEDFORD, MA (5 May 2008) iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations co-principals John Henry and David Kaemmer today announced the transition from alpha to beta testing of the company's new motorsport simulation and integrated internet racing service. The announcement marks the culmination of nearly four years of development work.
"For people who have been with us from the start, including the development team, testers and the racing enthusiasts anticipating our launch, it has been a long road," said Henry. "But the start of beta testing is an enormous milestone for us. Most importantly, for all those who have been so patient, it's a sign that we're nearly there. While we still have a lot of work to complete, we anticipate that beta will be measured in weeks rather than months."
Henry said that formal alpha testing of the service which integrates new simulation software, web-based infrastructure and a professionally run sanctioning body began a little more than a year ago, but testing of the concept began even before the company was formally incorporated in fall of 2004. "A core group of us had already started working on various aspects of the service, and in August of 2004 we recruited about 30 veteran simracers to help us test out our ideas and preliminary work. Given the complexity of this undertaking, it's a testament to the quality of the people involved that weve made it to beta in less than four years."
