iRacing.com Internet Racing Service Opens Doors: Gradual Ramp-Up Begins With Wave of E-mail Invitations. Having completed beta testing earlier this month, iRacing.com today began a phased rollout of its internet racing service with the distribution of several thousand invitations to subscribe. In addition, the company offered further detail as to when the service would be available to the general public.

"This first wave of invitations really marks the start of our launch of iRacing.com," said Scott McKee, vice president of marketing for iRacing.com. "Completing beta was an important final step for us to confirm that all of our back-end systems were functioning correctly. We still want to be careful to ramp up the service in a controlled fashion that ensures each subscriber will enjoy a high quality experience. But over the next week or so, we expect to add thousands of new members, which means that our scheduled races will be more fully populated. We'll begin to see the iRacing service work as it was designed to and the community of iRacers begin to come alive."
McKee explained that this initial list of invitees included names supplied by the beta test group, each of whom was permitted to nominate ten additional names, as well as individuals who had registered on the iRacing.com public Web site. Subsequent waves of invitations, which are to be distributed throughout the summer, will include iRacing corporate partners and additional registrants from the iRacing public site.
"We expect to have our doors wide open by the end of the summer," McKee said. "But people who want to get started sooner can still go our site (www.iracing.com), register for updates and get on the list. As part of the process of gradually expanding the membership, we'll be sending out additional waves of invitations over the next couple of months."
One-month subscriptions are available to invitees for $20, while the purchase of an annual subscription brings the monthly cost down to $13. All subscription packages include all the cars and tracks necessary to compete in the iRacing rookie oval and road-racing series. Additional cars and tracks can be added as a driver progresses through the service or can be purchased at any time and used for testing.
