Abertura oficial ao público... finalmente :)
#1
E depois de muita espera, eis que o serviço está oficialmente lançado e aberto ao público.

Em baixo está o comunicado, seguido de um outro que refere a possibilidade de se ganhar crédito aquando do convite de amigos. Hmm, meus amigos, venham a mim.:biggrinbandit:

ArrayAugust 26, 2008 - iRacing.com Open to the Public!
The next generation of racing is here! iRacing.com is now open to the general public. Pro or amateur, expert or novice, simulation veteran or not - anyone with a serious interest in the sport is welcome.

On this momentous occasion, we offer our sincere thanks to the hundreds of volunteer testers who, along with thousands of pre-launch invitees, have helped make sure that our service has been put through its paces and that our membership is already a thriving global community. And it's only going to get better.

Development continues. New tracks, new cars, new web functionality and new simulation features are all in the works and will be rolling out soon. In the meantime, check out our newest laser-scanned masterpiece, Bristol Motor Speedway, and our newest addition to the Members' Site, the iRacing Gear Store, the link for which can be found in the "Store" section on the main nav bar above.

Another new element of the service we think you'll like is the iRacing Referral Reward Program (see story below), which enables you to take an active role in the healthy growth of the iRacing community - and earn iRacing credits as you do it.

Whether through the referral program, special partner programs or just "walk-ins," our general launch is expected to bring several thousand new members into the service in a short span of time. Experience has taught us that this period of transition requires patience and consideration from everyone, regardless of how recently you joined. Please, do your part: read the FIRST Sporting Code and adhere to these rules at all times. New members, take your time getting acclimated, and veterans, help where you can. We're building this community - and the sport of internet racing - together.

Reminder! Time is running out to qualify for the Annual Subscription Bonus Program. All members with one-year subscriptions in place as of midnight GMT on August 29, 2008 will receive an additional $15 iRacing credit (on top of the $60 iRacing credit that you normally receive with the purchase of an annual subscription). For full information, please see the related post in the iRacing.com Announcements section of the Member Forums.[/quote]


ArrayAugust 26, 2008 - Invite Your Friends, Pick Up Some (iRacing) Cash!
Have some friends who'd like to try iRacing? Invite them to join, and you could earn $10 iRacing credit to use for cars, tracks or the extension of your membership. Simply tell your friends to input your email address (the one you used to register your own iRacing account) in the "Referring Member Email" field when they purchase their three, six or 12 month subscription. We'll send you a promotional code worth $10 for each confirmed new member referral.

Note: The Referral Reward Program only applies to new subscriptions; account renewals are ineligible. In order for the referring member to receive the referral reward, the email associated with the referring member's active iRacing account must be entered by the new member at the time of subscription. Offer does not apply to one month subscriptions.[/quote]

Parece que não é só um simulador, é um MMIS.:biggrinbandit:

Se fiz as contas bem, existem 66 pilotos portugueses com actividade no iRacing nos últimos 6 meses (de um total de 111 pilotos 'tugas com iR na parte de estrada)... Nunca pensei que fossemos tantos. Idea

Já é bastante bom, realmente. Julgo que tem progredido a bom ritmo, e tem até acelerado.
Mesmo assim, há paises europeus com maior percentagem de racers per capita. Temos de os ultrapassar. Big Grin

Infelizmente não faço parte do número de racers activos nos ultimos 6 meses, por motivos pessoais.

Contei todos os pilotos que tiveram actividade dentro do site e não aqueles que participaram em algum evento nos últimos 6 meses (só o trabalho Tongue Tongue ).

Será verdade?

Quote:I can tell you that active membership continues to grow at a nice pace. We're in striking distance of breakeven. For a project of this scope, that is certainly a big milestone to reach.

É uma afirmação curiosa. Reparei no fórum que a interpretação de alguns é a de "estamos quase no break-even", mas eu pessoalmente acho que esse quase é um pouco mais estendido no tempo.
Em qualquer caso, tudo indica que o plano de 10 ano que tinham esteja a correr até melhor que o esperado. Olhando para o que me recordo da beta, em 2005, duvido que esperassem tanto sucesso apenas passado 5 anos.

O que me surpreende um pouco tb é o ritmo de crescimento não estar a abrandar. Julguei que passado 12 ou 18 meses se atingiria um plateau, e a partir daí fosse um crescimento mais suave. Mas é óptimo ve-lo, claro.

Prevejo que no futuro haja um crescimento maior sobretiudo no road racing. Até aqui tem sido 50/50l, mas como a parte oval já tem a grande maioria das pistas importantes, o potencial de crescimento fica claramente no road racing. Como road racer, não poderia estar mais satisfeito.
