When I click on Account Upgrades in my account, I can see the current series that I've paid for, as well as my premium upgrade, but I don't see where I can add an upgrade for next season.

Thanks!

@Indy Pro 2000 Series 2021/S1 Signups are up for returning drivers!

All details on the signup process is mentioned in the post above.

Rumor is that Seitz will be moving up to join one of Andrutti, Ponski, or Ganossi at the Indycar level (any similarity to actual entities is purely coincidental). I mean, Dixon didn't spend his entire career in Indy Lights. Hamilton didn't stay racing Formula 3. They moved on. Bigger and better things. Fame and fortune. And those coming up after them breathed a sigh of relief.

* This is purely for commentary. I enjoy the benefit Greg and the other very fast drivers provide for folks like me who have less experience. I look forward to being lapped for seasons to come. Can we get those setups, though?

Lol, good one

Hi guys,
Not sure if this is the right place to ask...
This will be my first season with you. I normally run official races and take VRS setups.

As I'm pretty new to iRacing I'm not yet at building setups. Where will you take you setups for this season?
Do I have to hope to join a team to have a setup shared to me? Do you offer a basic setup that can work not so bad...

Typically Owen shares a setup on the forum here each week. They are typically quite safe to run and reasonably competitive. It is worth noting that with the new update, there is iRacing setups available for each track. They offer a solid starting point, and are all available now so you can work ahead if you wish.

There are also usually a couple setups available on the iRacing forum for each week.

Thanks Gunner. Really appreciate your help!

Hi All,

My regular livery painter just informed me that he is unable to create a livery for this season. Does anyone know of a painter that could help me out and paint the IP2000 in short order in time for round 1?

Hey everyone, I'm trying to register but when I click "account upgrades", all I see is the gte/lmp2. What am I doing wrong?

Signups are currently closed unfortunately

 

[kart7990]

When Can I signup? Now! But the signups will be closing on March 18th 00:00 EDT.

I just bought the car, and figured my premium would guarantee the spot. It also isn't March 18th.

 

[jeromef1]

I just bought the car, and figured my premium would guarantee the spot.

Unfortunately, we had way more signups then expected which forced us to close them.

We have opened signups a month ago, send email twice to entire community, contact all our iRacing members twice and also post on more than 20 facebook groups

 

[kart7990]

Did you have any communication or is it called out anywhere in here that signups closed (or even could close) before the stated date? Some of us wait for legitimate reasons. I wasn't sure I could commit to the entire season and didn't want to take a spot from someone else until I was absolutely sure. I knew I had until the 18th to figure that out and register, especially with the premium status I paid for.
