And the guy has trouble with spelling. I would say, rather, that iRacing is
for the Elite, who think they are the best at everything.

Nonsense, we know we are best!

Joking aside, iRacing has as diverse a range of members as anything
else, with many varied opinions. Heck they even let loons like
MacPherson in...

The test for iRacing will be to provide for such a diverse group. Some
see iRacing as the ultimate hardcore sim so want physics over everything
else, whilst others want a league type community experience and
development in this area. Others want features as a priority. I don't
think there is a stereotype iRacer...

I just got tired of bashing the iRacing by (some) people, because of
their childish reasons. I mean, why on Earth would someone attack such an
excellent simulation? -- Mario Petrinovic

Because it isn't worth what it costs? Because they force people to use real
names? Because the driving penalty rules suck and are not even reaslistic?
That's a few good reasons I can think of. No game is going to make me
divulge my real name online. That puts a risk on me for identity theft and
it just isn't going to happen. For that reason alone I resent the whole
iRacing concept.

I am not necessarily attacking the simulation. If you want to spend the
money to race, then go ahead and spend it. I don't think paying for
something that I can't play the way I want competively is something I want
to do.

But out of iRacing comes this elitist attitude that I just don't care to be
a part of. ("Since we race iRacing, we are the best there is. Please don't
join if you are not the best. We accept nothing less, and anything less
will not be accepted.")

Quite the opposite. There are a lot of posts in iRacing forum about
being slow, and things like that. There are a lot older people (I am 46),
and there was even an initiative to start an "old farts" club. iRacing tries
to find a category for everyone, but the accent clearly is on maturity.
iRacing concentrate only on things important to racing. All the elements
that attract parents to buy a game for their toddlers so that they can "play
with their little cars" on a computer are left out of iRacing. As a
consequence, MATURE people enjoy iRacing very much. -- Mario Petrinovic

I didn't see any elitism when I was a member.
