am ending my long-term subscription to iRacing due to a fundamental breakdown in their stewarding system. While the physics are industry-leading, the 'protest' system has become a liability for paying members.
Recently, I was issued a one-week ban for a '0x' (zero damage) incidental contact under yellow—an interaction that had no impact on the race. Conversely, when I reported a driver for a blatant, high-speed ram after the checkered flag, the stewards used my own footage to ban me for two weeks, claiming an 'overcorrection' from bounci g off the wall i was slammed into was retaliatory.
As a customer, it feels less like a racing service and more like a legal minefield where your investment (cars/tracks) can be locked away on a whim by inconsistent moderation. I have moved my hobby budget to console-based alternatives like NASCAR 25. It offers 90% of the fun for 10% of the hassle and cost. If you value your time and money, be wary of the 'guilty until proven innocent' culture here.
