Lot of people here and there is asking me and others what to buy to race some specific car or some specific series. As we are here in Europe, they’re mainly focused on road tracks and road cars. I’ve been thinking a master budget plan to take advantage of all perks and discounts iRacing staff offers to the current and new members.
Starting from the scratch:
Renew an expired account:
A nice strategy to start would be trying the service first using the code and having enough luck to extend our membership getting one of the renewal half priced periods. $5 + $49 = $54 for 15 months. Membership solved.
Keep in mind you will have to overcome Rookie Class and its unpredictable bunch of drivers. Also in D class could suffer something like this but to a lesser extent. It should be a valuable lesson to learn what to do and what not.
This is a list of tracks I’d buy:
Those tracks would allow you to race any series in road.
Let’s take a look at the cars. First four cars for an open wheel career. Next two for a GT career. Last two cars, whatever you like.
Packages would be distributed in the following way:
We already paid $54 for the 12+3 month membership and $190 for 250 iRacing dollars. Three packages total is $446,335 – 250 iR dollars = $196,335 left to pay. This could be delayed to the final months to take advantage of new 100×75.
First year: $54 membership + $190 to pay almost two first packages.
Second year: $190 to pay everything left and $49 membership. $5 left in account.
Total: $434 for almost all road content + 27 months membership.
More things to save. Racing at least 8 weeks of an official series will give you credits. Up to $10 per season. $40 a year.
Member anniversary: 12 months of continual membership gives you $5.
At the end of the second year racing total would be only $350. Not bad for a premium class service. You can sign up using my reference here.
