New builds are coming out in April and July, all I have to say is OMFG!!! :x

http://members.iracing.com/jforum/posts/list/100/1465558.page

“In April we have an awards system coming out, where you'll earn 74 different awards at this point. We'll have the damage repair completed for every car. We're going to do a teaser release for the new tire model. That looks like it's going to go. We're going to roll it out for the Nationwide car and probably a road car as well. The new Nationwide car will be in the build, if you own the existing Nationwide car you will get that for free. We're going to roll out the Okayama track in Japan, we're going to give that away to everyone for free. New graphics for Skip Barber car, we'll start some animation in the sim in this build. New telemetry tools coming out, the list goes on and on. There's a hundred small things in this build, a lot to do with hosted racing. You can schedule hosted racing a year in advanced. You can pick different sessions for hosted racing or private league racing, two hours sessions, four hour session, six hour sessions, a bunch of things like that.

The July build is the real big one though with the new tire model launching, heat racing. We're going to roll out some driver aids for hosted sessions and certain series. Major aero changes, these drivers will be able to drive the high line so much better. So we're real excited about that, obviously really excited about the tire model. The Suzuka track, Iowa, the Ford GT car, LMPT2 car coming out in that build. The list goes on and on, there is a lot coming out this summer.”

I decided to try it out and I must say that I'm kinda hooked.

I've had the week off from work so spent a lot of time behind the wheel (which I don't have atm, using my X52 so far), and got rid of my "rookie" ranking as well as winning a few races. I haven't played race-sims since a bit of F1-Challenge , where I also played a little in an online league, and I must say that the net coding is very stable.
Being a rookie I've only tried MX-5 on Lime Rock and Laguna Seca tracks, which I thankfully had previous sim-experience with by playing the legendary Sports Car GT-game, so learned those fairly quick.

Now I plan on getting on board the new Skip Barber season that starts early May, but would like to race some AH'ers as well.

Yea a fun update and the new track looks fun.
Took a skippy around for a few laps yesterday. Good to see that even all the Skippy "pro" drivers were spinning around as much as I did. :)

Random question...

Last season, I fast-tracked (4.00+) from D to C.

I must be missing something (and I can't find it in the FAQ) because I crammed a bunch of races into the last week to go from C to B under "normal" promotion circumstances but my "Races Needed" never changed from 4.

To date, I actually think it is still frozen at 4.  This is all post-update, BTW.  Did I find a random bug or am I an idiot who can't read?

You need to race in the right series. Check the Series on the homepage to see what series you need to run.
On the right hand side it says MPR and there is a yellow = under it, those are the series that will make you advance.
